      Used to do this with the boys all the time back in the 90s. Annoying I am sure but harmless fun. Until some rabid chud wastes you I guess.

          And they’re probably going to blame the kids ignoring the fact that you used to be able to do this without fear of getting shot.

      Ding dong ditch goes back further than the 1980s too, that’s just the modern name for it. In the UK it’s called knock, knock, run or knock down ginger and has been a thing since the 1800s.

      They’ve been shooting at them for doing this since then as well. Keeping traditions strong.
