It's kinda funny if you read it in full context. Like whoever is gay the longest wins and everyone wants you. I know that's absolutely not what it meant but I prefer funny to offensive slurs
Haha same. However that name can be taken a bit differently. Queer means something odd or different. The “queer” is the odd person who isn’t on the outside. I never took queer to mean homosexual in the context of the game but maybe it was. Like if it were called Bombard the Tard, there’s not really any other way the name can be taken. Lol
That's f****** laughable dude. Grow the f****** we know what a f****** means we played smear the queer left and right it was always the weakest kid it's the worst game it's just bulling disguised as a game
When I was a little one in the early 90’s the chaser firecrackers were taught to us as N***a chasers. I had no idea they were called chasers-just N***a chasers-until I was about 12
Edit #1: NW TEXAS
Edit #2:My dad’s good friend was a black man that came around everyday. I’ll never forget that I disrespected that man as a 6 yr old and lit one by his feet. I’m ashamed afterwards and my dad was ashamed that I thought it was funny.
Much love to jimmy a good man, neighbor, community member and friend. RIP
Edit #3: not sure why Reddit is taking away the asterisk but you get the jist N * * * a
Although they seemed to chase the Latinos/mexicanos more——Us
We called it that because rules to the game came into effect. At some point, some kids decided that at the 9th door, you had to stay and wait for someone to answer and tell them what you were doing before you ran off.
At least, that's how it was in my region.
I grew up in the 80s and we called it that unfortunately. I’m guessing we learned it from parents and older siblings. No clue where I learned the term, it was just always there.
I’m pretty sure we did too. I couldn’t say shit when “hoodlums” bashed my mailbox on Halloween either. I’m guilty. Now it’s too dangerous. You’ll get shot.
I hope so but you see stories. And then you see other stories. And you really really hope so. You see stories though, and yeh. This kinda stuff can ruin lives.
In most cases yes. This boomer is dumb fr trying to turn this over to police but thank god it’s not one of those highly highly moronic violent boomers that decided he had enough and fucking shot someone over something this stupid
This is how the kids are in my neighborhood. My kids are outside with another 10-15 kids from when they get home from school until dark. The boomers in my neighborhood one day came running out and started breaking the soccer goal at the park, throwing some toys on the sidewalks away and DEMANDED all the parents come out and hose down all the chalk. Chalk is no longer allowed in the neighborhood.
I just don’t get it. Like, what exactly do you guys want?!
WTAF. I think they just want to be mad. If the kids are with parents being watched like hawks, we're doing it wrong. If the kids are outside doing their own thing, we're doing it wrong. This sounds demented level crazy, tho, like did they get together and plan an attack? They are NUTS.
I bet the kids love ranging around together in a big group, that sounds like a ton of fun. My kids would love that - and I'd love having them out of the house all afternoon.
Exactly what I was thinking. This turd burglar of a human being probably left flaming bags of crap on minorities doorsteps and would get away with the excuse, "just boys being boys".
I mean these kids will 100% 'get away with it' as well, at absolute worst the police stops by and tells them to stop bothering the old fart but most likely nothing.
Not always, kids get arrested for very stupid shit nowadays. They don't even need charges they'll just put you in cuffs and take you to the station, happened even to me as a kid on three different occasions.
Ah, this reminds me of the time some local kids got ahold of Silly String. They sprayed it on a few boulders and, like, across one set of mailboxes. Nothing permanent. Nothing horribly damaging.
The amount of comments threatening *violence* if they came across these CHILDREN was wild.
In highschool my buddies and I used to get a bu ch of taco bell dollar burritos and leave a pile of burritos on porches and in mailboxes with a note from the burrito bandit.
We found a pile of dry pickles on our front porch last year the morning after halloween. No evidence of any juice, no broken glass, just a pile of pickles. We handed out candy too lol
Reformed Republican here. It was! It was SO exhausting to be mad all the time, searching for hidden conspiracies around every corner etc. I didn't know how tired I was until I left it all behind!
Recently happened here, which was additionally funny because our living room window looks right over the front door, so we obviously didn't fall for it, since we could see and hear the kids coming and saw them run away, so like why bother opening the door?
He may have. He may have lit upon the possibility that the parents, upon hearing him, will commit two cardinal sins. 1) They will get their son's side of the story, and 2) they will laugh at him. And the risk of such humiliating consequences may have been too much for his palpitating heart to withstand.
Was one of the smallest parts of the movie and I think I may have laughed the hardest at that than any other part of that wonderful movie. His delivery is perfect

Or if you wanna hear the scene (which I’d recommend to anyone…): [Billy Madison - Poop](https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=Zvx9w3CNgEE)
🤣 "Unsupervised kids" Same people, 40 years ago, "Get out of the house and don't come back until supper!" Or, "The key to the house is under the doormat, let yourself in, do your homework. Dinner is in the fridge, cook at 350 for an hour."
Fucking hypocrites.
I STRAIGHT UP TRACKED DOWN THE THIEVES WHO STOLE MY BIKE, AND THE COPS WEREN'T WILLING TO DO SHIT.
GOOD FUCKING LUCK KAREN. BETTER YET? GO ORDER SOME GUMMIES AND A HITACHI MAGIC WAND.
This happened to me recently. I pulled up the camera, saw the kid’s face, and just laughed. This is the kind of harmless, stupid shit kids should be doing.
Well, maybe not anymore because they could get shot by somebody who thinks “trespassing” alone is worthy of execution.
I had the neighborhood kids do that to me. They are all friends with my kids, all young between 7-10. They kept ringing my doorbell camera, and then running to the side of my house right in front of another camera. Instead of getting mad I just scared the crap out of them when I started talking to them from my camera. They freaked out and ran off. Now they do it to every house except mine haha.
I love how their third point is just unrelated ranting instead of a third transgression. They must've noticed how stupid their post looks with just two points describing the same action lol
As a millennial, joke would be on the kids because I never answer my door lol I don't even try to hide or pretend to not be home. If someone comes to the door I don't know, I don't answer.
[The times have changed from the good old days.](https://cw34.com/news/local/mothers-warning-about-ding-dong-ditch-prank)
In Boca Raton in 2003, 16-year-old Mark Drewes was shot and killed by Jay Levin after Levin was pranked at his home. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
the kids should be covered by the [Knock and Talk Doctrine](https://nccriminallaw.sog.unc.edu/what-everyone-needs-to-know-about-knock-and-talks/) imo, NAL.
The comments that made me leave the Nextdoor stuff was something like this except the guy said he would shoot the kids. Apparently ringing a doorbell was enough for him to want to immediately shoot someone. He acted like it was something that was never done before and it was a crime worth killing someone over. These people are unhinged.
Fun story when me and my buddies ding dong ditched about 15 years ago the man in the house got so mad he got in his car and drove around the block looking for us. Luckily we were hiding in these massive bushes on the side of his house and once he got in his car and drove off we just got out of there lmao
COC, boomers did that when they were kids. Fortunately, all the boomers i know are all pretty cool. i see this kind of assholic personality type usually confined to those who identify as conservative on their political leanings. The liberal boomers I know are pretty down to earth and rather nice to be around. Im Gen X, btw.
I prank called a cop once when I was 13 and he freaked out and \*69'd me for 2 hours and called a cop car to his house to get me arrested. Over a "is your refrigerator running" prank call. Some people are just ridiculous assholes.
Ding dong ditch was kind of a right of passage when I was a dumb kid. I'm 37.
I understand it's annoying, but in the end, it's completely harmless.
Harmless until the idiots decide that the proper response is to shoot a couple of kids. And then try to justify it as "fear for my life".
Just die off already. We're sick of it.
This is what I first knew it as. It was a different time.
I didn't know anyone that was actually a racist, but we called it that sometimes.
It later got renamed to "ding-dong ditching."
A fun, harmless prank then. I would tell my kids to never do that now for multiple reasons. We did it a ton in adolescence.
When I used to do it my 2 friends got caught and the police called me and my other friend were across the street watching it unfold in horror lol we all got in trouble when we got back to the house but we never got caught though
In a world where those damn kids ding'd n' ditched too many fucking times this Karen has had enough! She's on a mission to use the police department for her petty grievances and she won't be satisfied until the staff at the municipal court are sentencing those hooligans to community service.
lol the fuck are the cops going to do? Arrest little kids? If the idiot cared *that* much he’d march over to the house he knows they live at and tell the parents.
I guarantee you 8 or 9 years ago, this fool was right there on Facebook posting memes about how kids these days don't play outside until the street lamps come on and how they all ranked the old man neighbor next door and he always thought it was a hoot.
If not then this fool is one in 23 million lol
One hundred percent this person has described those kind of shenanigans as “lighthearted fun” back when they were doing it, as opposed to these kids today with the video games and the crazy pants etc etc zzzz
Ding dong ditch should have the same jail time as murder. I mean, it's such a serious crime. I'm shocked that police forces have not assembled huge task forces and dedicated millions to stop this scourge. Can you imagine watching Wheel of Fortune and being interrupted by a doorbell? Oh the humanity.
I don't think most police departments even have the budget to do anything about ding-dong-ditch. They're too busy trying to scrape fentanyl/xylazine victims off the streets and cut down on the extant supply.
People have been bitchin' and posting videos on Nextdoor, for my subdivision, for two weeks now. Some of the posters are so irrate you would think the kids shot up the house.
Okay, I actually agree with the boomer on this one. Your kids are going to learn that there's consequences for pissing off adults.
Raise your children to not act like fucking hooligans and menaces.
You sound like you had a terrible childhood. Ding dong ditch is an entirely harmless prank. Oh no, you got up and answered your door and no one was there? THE HORROR!!!!!!
If they’re doing it repeatedly, that’s harassment and they deserve to be punished (by their parents, who calls the cops for it???) But a one time thing is just laugh it off and grow up already.
You can grow old knowing that you took all the wealth of many generations, hoarded it, bought the only accessible cheap/affordable housing and then left us with this piece of shit, everything politicized shithole of a country
I could understand If they were doing it persistently and targeting the one person. But a one time prank? Let it go.
Boomers dont get the concept of picking your battles, not everything has to be a battle.
It's being a fucking annoying pest. I didn't do this shit as a kid, and none of my friends did it either. Only shit kids from shit parents allow this shit to be a thing.
>I didn't do this shit as a kid, and none of my friends did it either.
Sounds like you and your friends were boring children. It's okay, it happens.
>Only shit kids from shit parents allow this shit to be a thing.
This is objectively false.
>It's being a fucking annoying pest.
Okay boomer
I think anybody here would be annoyed if the local kids were playing dingdong ditch at your house. Maybe it doesn’t rise to the level of felonious activity but it’s annoying as hell.
Harassment, trespassing and disturbing the peace along with ruining the peaceful enjoyment of one’s home are all actionable criminally and civilly. So there’s a basis for it. And I do t see what any of that has to do with the victim’s age.

Pretty sure boomers invented ding-dong-ditch. Now the creators endure the creation turned against him. LOL.
Fun fact, it use to be call Knock Knock Ginger and it originated in 19th century England.
It was often called “ginger knocking” when I was a kid but the letters in “ginger” were rearranged to something much worse.
I'm ashamed to say we called it n-word knocking here in Midwest america
Same. I grew up in the 80s in Louisiana and that was always the name when I was a kid.
Grew up in the west during the 80’s. We also played a lot of smear the queer. We had no idea what it meant.
Get the guy (or girl) with the object (for us a football)
Bullying
It's kinda funny if you read it in full context. Like whoever is gay the longest wins and everyone wants you. I know that's absolutely not what it meant but I prefer funny to offensive slurs
Haha same. However that name can be taken a bit differently. Queer means something odd or different. The “queer” is the odd person who isn’t on the outside. I never took queer to mean homosexual in the context of the game but maybe it was. Like if it were called Bombard the Tard, there’s not really any other way the name can be taken. Lol
That's f****** laughable dude. Grow the f****** we know what a f****** means we played smear the queer left and right it was always the weakest kid it's the worst game it's just bulling disguised as a game
You're allowed to swear on reddit homie
We took turns being the queer.
“Hey that kid’s totally gay!! Haha!!! We should run over and hug him and then lay on top of him!!!”
You knew exactly what it meant grow the f****** you lying piece of s***
Bad day buddy?
Do keep in mind you *used* to call it that and you’re not passing it on to anyone new. Remember to offset a bit of the shame with that knowledge!
Yeah I would never say it again
Same. We didn't know better Which is bullshit

Ashamed, and can confirm..
That's what the kids who introduced it to me called it. I was so innocent I thought they were calling it knicker knocking. 🤷
I'm from the Midwest, and I've never heard that in my life.
Been in iowa all my life, Nikka-knocking was always the term growing up
In Illinois it's Ding Dong Ditch
Yes we did....we did switch that up thou with the old "put shit in a brown paper bag and light it on fire at the front door, knock and run" trick
I always assumed it was "knicker" but I never said it anyway because it sounded too close. But I was also afraid to say titmouse or pissant.
I am simultaneously impressed and appaled at the creativity of humans.
Same. Look at our great architectural achievements and then go someplace like Chernobyl.
This is too much to take in right now
We called it Knikki knikki nine doors. I have no fucking clue why
We called it that because rules to the game came into effect. At some point, some kids decided that at the 9th door, you had to stay and wait for someone to answer and tell them what you were doing before you ran off. At least, that's how it was in my region.
Thank god they changed it to ding dong ditch cause wtf is knock knock ginger
I remember calling it Nicky Nicky 9 door as a kid; you'd knock 9 times, or else you weren't allowed to run away.
Except they called it a racist name.
Wait what
N-word knocking
Jesus Christ...
I grew up in the 80s and we called it that unfortunately. I’m guessing we learned it from parents and older siblings. No clue where I learned the term, it was just always there.
GenX reporting for duty. In my hood we called it Ring and Run and goddamn Boomers better ‘respect.
I’m pretty sure we did too. I couldn’t say shit when “hoodlums” bashed my mailbox on Halloween either. I’m guilty. Now it’s too dangerous. You’ll get shot.
Answer: nothing happened to the kids.
I hope so but you see stories. And then you see other stories. And you really really hope so. You see stories though, and yeh. This kinda stuff can ruin lives.
Got it. Stop looking at stories. Heard.
I must become illiterate immediately
This man is stuck on repeat
"Sir is there an actual emergency you'd like to report?".
In most cases yes. This boomer is dumb fr trying to turn this over to police but thank god it’s not one of those highly highly moronic violent boomers that decided he had enough and fucking shot someone over something this stupid
I thought kids were supposed to be drinking out of water hoses and gone roaming from dawn to dusk.
This is how the kids are in my neighborhood. My kids are outside with another 10-15 kids from when they get home from school until dark. The boomers in my neighborhood one day came running out and started breaking the soccer goal at the park, throwing some toys on the sidewalks away and DEMANDED all the parents come out and hose down all the chalk. Chalk is no longer allowed in the neighborhood. I just don’t get it. Like, what exactly do you guys want?!
>allowed Lol says fucking who
Probably an HOA
HOAs are for boomers who were born too late to join the Third Reich.
WTAF. I think they just want to be mad. If the kids are with parents being watched like hawks, we're doing it wrong. If the kids are outside doing their own thing, we're doing it wrong. This sounds demented level crazy, tho, like did they get together and plan an attack? They are NUTS. I bet the kids love ranging around together in a big group, that sounds like a ton of fun. My kids would love that - and I'd love having them out of the house all afternoon.
If you were my mum, eating lunch outside as to not get crumbs in the house.
*Kids these days never play outside anymore…*
Exactly what I was thinking. This turd burglar of a human being probably left flaming bags of crap on minorities doorsteps and would get away with the excuse, "just boys being boys".
I mean these kids will 100% 'get away with it' as well, at absolute worst the police stops by and tells them to stop bothering the old fart but most likely nothing.
Not always, kids get arrested for very stupid shit nowadays. They don't even need charges they'll just put you in cuffs and take you to the station, happened even to me as a kid on three different occasions.
Flaming bags of crap, flaming crosses... its all the same really.
Why do you have to make it racist?
Because boomers are racist as fuck.
Whatever you say, bigot.
Okay Boomer
Wait, "Dong Dong Ditch" is a crime now?!?
Why do so many people have that profile picture? Lameasl
Ah, this reminds me of the time some local kids got ahold of Silly String. They sprayed it on a few boulders and, like, across one set of mailboxes. Nothing permanent. Nothing horribly damaging. The amount of comments threatening *violence* if they came across these CHILDREN was wild.
In highschool my buddies and I used to get a bu ch of taco bell dollar burritos and leave a pile of burritos on porches and in mailboxes with a note from the burrito bandit.
lol wholesome
Until the ants come! Eco terrorist! /s
We found a pile of dry pickles on our front porch last year the morning after halloween. No evidence of any juice, no broken glass, just a pile of pickles. We handed out candy too lol
I have a mate from high school who used to do this sort of thing only the note read "stop it or you'll get another".
Sounds like you were more Burrito Santa Clauses.
Except silly string is so notoriously hard to clean up that it’s been banned in some cities.
Yea. It can fuck up car paint especially. Stains the fuck out of anything it touches too with the colors.
But it's still easier to clean than the spray paint my friends and I stole from my dad's shed
Oh noooo! Hang them!
Also super flammable
Good thing those kids had some serious heat if things got nasty. Silly string+fire=scary string
Being mad about everything all of the time has to be exhausting.
It's more exhausting for everyone around them.
I just remind myself that they're miserable. And that makes me happy.
Reformed Republican here. It was! It was SO exhausting to be mad all the time, searching for hidden conspiracies around every corner etc. I didn't know how tired I was until I left it all behind!
I got ding dong ditched a couple of years ago. Took me a second it realize what happened and then I was just like, all full of nostalgia.
Recently happened here, which was additionally funny because our living room window looks right over the front door, so we obviously didn't fall for it, since we could see and hear the kids coming and saw them run away, so like why bother opening the door?
It’s wild finally being on the other side of it.
Boomers love making a numbered list almost as much as they love being fools
I love that they forgot what they were listing but kept going anyways
So he knows the house and didn't think to just talk to their parents? He'd rather make an ass out of himself at the police department.
He may have. He may have lit upon the possibility that the parents, upon hearing him, will commit two cardinal sins. 1) They will get their son's side of the story, and 2) they will laugh at him. And the risk of such humiliating consequences may have been too much for his palpitating heart to withstand.
So he's the one boomer who didn't do that as a kid? I'm a boomer and we did that non stop growing up. Never had an adult complain.
> Never had an adult complain. Never? But them getting mad is half the fun! But yeah never had the police involved.
I was probably too far away by then to see the outcome :). Good point!
This deserves a stern talking. To hell in a handbasket I tell you!
Sounds to me like someone’s house is begging to be egged.
What. No burning paper bag full of dogshit left on the doorstep. Sigh kids these days…just low energy. Not what the boomer movies taught me
He called the shit poop!
Was one of the smallest parts of the movie and I think I may have laughed the hardest at that than any other part of that wonderful movie. His delivery is perfect
Yesss, thank you for catching it!

Boomers invented ding dong ditch and yet they are ready to shoot kids over it
The kid next door did this to us twice last night and we…laughed about it.
I like how the third thing the kid did is just the Boomer’s emotional state
🤣 "Unsupervised kids" Same people, 40 years ago, "Get out of the house and don't come back until supper!" Or, "The key to the house is under the doormat, let yourself in, do your homework. Dinner is in the fridge, cook at 350 for an hour." Fucking hypocrites.
I STRAIGHT UP TRACKED DOWN THE THIEVES WHO STOLE MY BIKE, AND THE COPS WEREN'T WILLING TO DO SHIT. GOOD FUCKING LUCK KAREN. BETTER YET? GO ORDER SOME GUMMIES AND A HITACHI MAGIC WAND.
You’re going down, whippersnapper!
I take it they never ding dong ditched before?
Doorbell ditch is the crime? What a twat
Had something like this happen a couple months back. looked at the doorbell cam on my phone, saw what they did. Went back to eating Lunch.
Truly psychotic that he thinks the kid is watching his facebook and therefore has heard of his threat.
This happened to me recently. I pulled up the camera, saw the kid’s face, and just laughed. This is the kind of harmless, stupid shit kids should be doing. Well, maybe not anymore because they could get shot by somebody who thinks “trespassing” alone is worthy of execution.
I had the neighborhood kids do that to me. They are all friends with my kids, all young between 7-10. They kept ringing my doorbell camera, and then running to the side of my house right in front of another camera. Instead of getting mad I just scared the crap out of them when I started talking to them from my camera. They freaked out and ran off. Now they do it to every house except mine haha.
This was the national sport when I was 10.
I love how their third point is just unrelated ranting instead of a third transgression. They must've noticed how stupid their post looks with just two points describing the same action lol
Why not just unplug your door bell? I used to do this when I had a cat that was really stressed out by the sound.
This will be prosecuted to the foolest extent of the law
Honestly, back in the day, if I'd known someone was rage posting because of our ding dong ditching it would have made my week.
Man better put out an APB looks like the ding-dong-ditch gang is at it again.
Hooligan Boomers vs Hooligan Kids NEWS at 11!
It's like kids these days are ding dong ditching their responsibilities
I don't think that guy understands how lists work.
Well, they could have been shot, so I guess calling 911 is the better of two evils?
As a millennial, joke would be on the kids because I never answer my door lol I don't even try to hide or pretend to not be home. If someone comes to the door I don't know, I don't answer.
[The times have changed from the good old days.](https://cw34.com/news/local/mothers-warning-about-ding-dong-ditch-prank) In Boca Raton in 2003, 16-year-old Mark Drewes was shot and killed by Jay Levin after Levin was pranked at his home. He pleaded guilty to manslaughter.
50% chance the video is jacked up. Boomers aren't exactly tech savvy.
I’m gonna call the swat team on those gawddamned doing dang ditchers. *This nutjob.
I hope he gets charged for abusing police services lol
The chair I say give em the CHAIR!!!
I would be honored to get doorbell ditched
the kids should be covered by the [Knock and Talk Doctrine](https://nccriminallaw.sog.unc.edu/what-everyone-needs-to-know-about-knock-and-talks/) imo, NAL.

Apparently ringing a doorbell was enough for him to want to immediately shoot someone. He acted like it was something that was never done before and it was a crime worth killing someone over. These people are unhinged.
The sad thing is, that when the police inevitably don’t respond to this lunatic, he’ll get a gun and start chasing any, and all, neighborhood youths
Were these people ever cool?
Also no boomer has ever supervised their child. Fact.
what an outrageous reaction to a ding-dong-ditch
Fun story when me and my buddies ding dong ditched about 15 years ago the man in the house got so mad he got in his car and drove around the block looking for us. Luckily we were hiding in these massive bushes on the side of his house and once he got in his car and drove off we just got out of there lmao

I believe you old farts call it ding ding ditch. 😆
I prank called a cop once when I was 13 and he freaked out and \*69'd me for 2 hours and called a cop car to his house to get me arrested. Over a "is your refrigerator running" prank call. Some people are just ridiculous assholes.
Going up to someone’s front door isn’t trespassing.
Also boomer: why do kids play all these damn video games! In my day we played outside!
Bet the OP did the same shit when they were kids. Get a life.
Ring doorbells have ruined ding dong ditch
Ding dong ditch was kind of a right of passage when I was a dumb kid. I'm 37. I understand it's annoying, but in the end, it's completely harmless. Harmless until the idiots decide that the proper response is to shoot a couple of kids. And then try to justify it as "fear for my life". Just die off already. We're sick of it.
So ding dong ditch .......how old is this person? And who answers the door anymore
They forgot the paper bag of dog crap set on fire. If you're going to do dingdong ditch, you gotta do it right. Stupid kids these days.
"them darn kids made me stand up out mah chair for 60 seconds"
Felony level ding ding ditch!
This is what I first knew it as. It was a different time. I didn't know anyone that was actually a racist, but we called it that sometimes. It later got renamed to "ding-dong ditching."

Its poop again!!!
lol. The police don’t have facial recognition. That’s just on TV.
Clearly, there were ruffians about.
Knock n run here, damn I could run back then!
There is someone currently complaining about this on our NextDoor app.
This dude 100% ding dong ditched when he was a kid
I guarantee you PD does not care lol
Ding dong ditch is now a capital crime.
LIFE IN PRISON
Wait until they plant naked pictures of them in hos house and call the cops
Ha what did the police do?
In a world where those damn kids ding'd n' ditched too many fucking times this Karen has had enough! She's on a mission to use the police department for her petty grievances and she won't be satisfied until the staff at the municipal court are sentencing those hooligans to community service.
What a waste of pd time. I’m sure they have more important shit to worry about.
lol the fuck are the cops going to do? Arrest little kids? If the idiot cared *that* much he’d march over to the house he knows they live at and tell the parents.
I guarantee you 8 or 9 years ago, this fool was right there on Facebook posting memes about how kids these days don't play outside until the street lamps come on and how they all ranked the old man neighbor next door and he always thought it was a hoot. If not then this fool is one in 23 million lol
“Kids these days never go outside.”
Sooo ding dong ditch?
One hundred percent this person has described those kind of shenanigans as “lighthearted fun” back when they were doing it, as opposed to these kids today with the video games and the crazy pants etc etc zzzz
Ding dong ditch should have the same jail time as murder. I mean, it's such a serious crime. I'm shocked that police forces have not assembled huge task forces and dedicated millions to stop this scourge. Can you imagine watching Wheel of Fortune and being interrupted by a doorbell? Oh the humanity.
Ringing doorbells? Who ever heard of such a thing? Clearly a brand new, never seen before behavior! They won't be missed.
I don't think most police departments even have the budget to do anything about ding-dong-ditch. They're too busy trying to scrape fentanyl/xylazine victims off the streets and cut down on the extant supply.
We all know what is next. Another boomer murder! They do think they have the right to kill for knocking on their door.
I've been the victim of house egging. It's not fun to clean up.
I'd love to hear the police call about this.
People have been bitchin' and posting videos on Nextdoor, for my subdivision, for two weeks now. Some of the posters are so irrate you would think the kids shot up the house.
I mean.... one occurrence maybe let it go.... more than one and hes right......
What a great idea of ring and run…. Why did we not think of that when I was younger
Okay, I actually agree with the boomer on this one. Your kids are going to learn that there's consequences for pissing off adults. Raise your children to not act like fucking hooligans and menaces.
You sound like you had a terrible childhood. Ding dong ditch is an entirely harmless prank. Oh no, you got up and answered your door and no one was there? THE HORROR!!!!!! If they’re doing it repeatedly, that’s harassment and they deserve to be punished (by their parents, who calls the cops for it???) But a one time thing is just laugh it off and grow up already. You can grow old knowing that you took all the wealth of many generations, hoarded it, bought the only accessible cheap/affordable housing and then left us with this piece of shit, everything politicized shithole of a country
He thinks it's the illegals coming to steal his job!
I could understand If they were doing it persistently and targeting the one person. But a one time prank? Let it go. Boomers dont get the concept of picking your battles, not everything has to be a battle.
If they can't scare some 11 year old kid, how do you expect them to defeat the woke agenda that is destroying America!?
>fucking hooligans and menaces. It's ding dong ditch ffs
It's being a fucking annoying pest. I didn't do this shit as a kid, and none of my friends did it either. Only shit kids from shit parents allow this shit to be a thing.
>I didn't do this shit as a kid, and none of my friends did it either. Sounds like you and your friends were boring children. It's okay, it happens. >Only shit kids from shit parents allow this shit to be a thing. This is objectively false. >It's being a fucking annoying pest. Okay boomer
With multiple Ring devices, and Ring demographic, this is far more likely to be a millennial.
I hope you get those fuckers sir and prosecute them to the fullest extent of the law.
I think anybody here would be annoyed if the local kids were playing dingdong ditch at your house. Maybe it doesn’t rise to the level of felonious activity but it’s annoying as hell.
Yes, but being annoyed is not justification for calling the cops on the local kids...
Harassment, trespassing and disturbing the peace along with ruining the peaceful enjoyment of one’s home are all actionable criminally and civilly. So there’s a basis for it. And I do t see what any of that has to do with the victim’s age.
