This actually happened about 20+ years ago.
I was living at the time with my now ex gf at our own place. She came home from work tired. She said she was going to get some sleep. I said ok np.
About a half hour later my Mom called me and asked what I was doing tonight, (Halloween), and I said I have nothing planned at all. She then said she has a big bowl of candy to pass out to trick or treaters, and wanted to know if I can come to her house and do it for her. I said sure np, I'll be there in about an hour. She said fine, cya then.
So I got dressed in my white jeans, black T-shirt and a coat in case it turned chilly that night, and grabbed my Darth Vader mask/helmet I had bought at Disney World a few years earlier.
When I arrived my Mom already had the front porch of her house set up with a table, outdoor plastic chair, the porchlight on, and a huge bowl of candy to give out to kids. I looked around and asked what the baseball bat is for behind the chair. She said its for protection. I said oh ok fine.
So anyway the sun set and ofc darkness came and there I sat. Eventually many kids with their parents came by and I gave them all goodies. After being out there for more than 2 hours, trouble came for sure in the form of 4 young teenage punks. They all stood there looking at me with Vader's helmet on. One finally asked...Hey man. whatcha gonna do if we take all your s**t from you? I said nothing. All I did was stand up from the chair. They saw how tall I am and one said, nevermind man, its cool then told the other 3 guys come on lets get out of here, and ZOOM they were gone like lightning. I just stood there a minute shaking my head and watching them run down another street.
Then I heard a weird sound coming from inside my Mom's house. I looked over my shoulder and she was looking from behind her curtains on the window laughing her head off. I then looked around to see if anymore kids were coming but there wasn't. So I opened the front door and she was still laughing. I asked what was so funny and she said you made those boys run off. What did you say to them? I told her I said nothing. They wanted to steal all the candy and when I stood up, they just bolted away. She said ok then walked to the kitchen to get me something to drink. She asked if I was going back out there and I said yes. You aksed me to do this and I intend to finish it when all the candy is gone. Well I went back out, kids came and went and after a couple more hours the candy was all gone. My Mom said I did a good job and I said ty it was kinda fun.
So around 11pm that night the streets were getting quiet and I told my Mom, ok I'm going now. Need sleep to work tomorrow, She said ok and tyvm for doing this for me. Drive safe and sleep well.
So that was it. When I look back on that night, I laugh about it. Makes me wonder what those 4 punks became later in life. hahahahaha. and I never needed to use the bat. hahahahahaha. Take care all and Happy Halloween.
