KIDS THAT PLAY KNOCK A DOOR RUN AWAY

victory

my kids call it knock down ginger, we just don't answer when it is done to us!
The newest one the kids are doing is going around the supermarket with me and putting things in other people's trolleys when they are not looking, I think it is daft, they think it is hilarious....!

Why are you all finding this so funny?

It is a very annoying nuisance and can ruin any tranquility I get after a long day at work. This is one end of the antisocial behaviour spectrum and should be actively discouraged, not condoned. There are kids out there who think nicking a car, or kicking down a front wall etc is just a laugh. Dont laugh at this, condemn it. I have been a victim and never was a perpetrator.

Knocker a door run and nicking cars are way different!!!

Got kids that come round the door all the time chapping at the letterbox and looking in too, nosey sods. Once I receive my mail, I tape the flap closed on the inside to stop the nosey parkers. Wiring the letter box flap to the mains would be a great idea, or perhaps changing it to one with a superstrong spring which would they would possibly catch their mitts in and not do it again.

Sorry Ned.

These things will happen, weather you were a perpetrator or not, I dont think people will have much sympathy with you over such trivial matters, life goes on, people enjoy it and people worry about bigger and more important things. You cant really condemn kids for occassionally being up to no good, I did that as kid and no I didnt knock down walls or vandalize etc.., its all part of growing up, the kids that are condemned for everything and live sheltered lives are more likely to end up in the scenarios you suggest... Beware... I look back and laugh, it was an occasional and random thing and if anything its teaches tolerance towards today's youth...

In a nutshell I dont expect kids to be angels, its all part of growing up... For those that played we all turned out alright didnt we?

LOL LOL

we called it knock down ginger too and we used to find it really hilarious trying to run as fast as you could so you wouldn't get caught yet at the same time not wanting to go too far away cs then u couldn't see if they opened the door or not!!!!

must admit i've had kids buzz my buzzer and run off (im in block of flats) i just ignore it its only harmless fun.

Beware of opening your door and seeing flames on the step. If you were to stamp the flames out you would be stamping on dog s#1t covered in lighter fluid.

Not that I ever did this as a youngster...

Pffft you and your high tech lighter fluid......

We used to use a brown paper bag with the squidgiest turd available :rotfl:

Mind you the best was when I was staying at my granny's for 3 months, she living in the Kent commuter belt. In the run up to November 5th, we used to place bangers strategically in the cowpats alongside the path from the station, watch the train arrive and know that it took between 40 & 45 seconds for the first bowler-hatted city gent to stride along the path

After having a [EMAIL="sh@@e"]sh@@e[/EMAIL] day this has made me laugh out so loud and I now have tears running down my face!!!!!:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:

Maybe its my warped sense of humour:rolleyes: but the lighter fluid and dog turd scenario has me in stitches...

I know this is a serious subject really, but it has made me laugh! (sorry)

We always called it Rat-a-Tat Ginger. It was always great fun when we'd go away on school trips and do it to all the teachers' rooms! :j
