‘Harsh’: Furious note taking aim at trick-or-treaters sparks outrage

An angry Aussie has lashed out ahead of Halloween with a strongly worded message for would-be trick-or-treater, sparking the annual debate of whether Australia should celebrate the holiday.

The message was left on fiery note which attached to a front door, held up by a peg.

“This is Australia not America,” the note begins.

“F*** off with your Halloween s*** you little c***s.”

It’s unclear where in Australia the note has been put up, however the account that posted the photo to social media added “The Australians don’t f*** about”.

People have flocked to the comments, divided over the explicit warning.

“Sounds more like Aussies are miserable and don’t like kids. Either way, thank God I don’t live there,” one person commented.

“Time to send eggs and toilet paper to Australia from America with love,” another wrote.

“All the tricks and no treats down under,” added another.

“Bit harsh, but dead-set funny,” commented another.

The US is known for going all out for the holiday, though Australia has been steadily catching onto Halloween, with costumes and treats dominating shopping centres this October.

Homes across the country have also decked out for the holiday, hanging fake spiders and proudly displaying pumpkins for all to see.

However, peeling aside the costumes and treats, the holiday can be traced back to the Celtic farming festival in Ireland called Samhain, where it was believed spirits could come back from the dead.

As a result, people dressed up in disguise to ward off ghosts.
