Quite clever actually. Chicks dig scars you see. If they're busy getting laid they won't have time to be ringing the OP's doorbell.

Chances are it won't be the last. They're clearly getting a rise out of you, which is encouraging them. In these cases you have two options. One is to ignore it, the other is to scare the absolute living daylights out of them. You've clearly opted for the latter & are failing miserably. Hope you like the sound of your doorbell, as you'll be hearing it a lot.

There's one thing kids being kids and another doing this prank after ten at night, happened to me a few times about 10.30pm as my kids were asleep waking them up, now sorry but that's not right or kids being kids.

HardenendMan

This reminds me of the knick knacking we did as kids.

We would pick the house of someone who we would get foaming at the mouth (someone like cena!), tie a fishing line to the knocker, go across the road behind a hedge and knock. Repeat for an hour. Absolutely hilarious.

I was part of a crew that used to hit up doorbells in the early 00s. Some of these guys I rolled with went on to become serious players in the organised trolling scene.

Why don't you prank them op.

Wait till they go home knock on their doors.

I would watch what they do dress up as a clown and walk out from behind a tree all the while holding a cock and mallet.

Faces and reactions would be priceless.

If punisher done pranks he would probably be the best in the world.

That's nice, dear.

I'm a 30 yr old person. Not going out of my way to prank them. More then likely I well see then around

thelad95

Ah it's fun to nick-nack when you're drunk. I'd seriously wonder about anyone over the age of 12 who would find it funny when sober.

GHOST MGG

delw

Kids these days don't know how to knick knack right :rolleyes: ,what happened to setting a bag of dog poo on fire on the door step

Does everyone call these "nick knacks"? Is that the universal name for it in different areas in the country among different age groups?
My wife insisted they were called "ding dong runaways" where she lived and I don't know if she's taking the piss or not.

Do this and none of the parents will let their children anywhere near your house.

Thats funny, same thing happened at my house tonight, a group of young fellas rang the door bell and I could see them running down the street into the bushes. Little ****s!!!!!!!!!

splendid101

I'm 36 years of age and I still go knick knacking regularly.

It's usually a good night's craic.

People are always saying, there's nothing to do in Dublin except drink,....well, knick knacking is free, and you get exercise as well.

thats a great name for them. We called them tickynocks. We had another one that was seasonal where you would get handfuls of berrys from bushes or trees and pelts the windows in rapid succession until a door opened. that was called the "berrym'job."

Used to love knick knacks as a kid, Always went back to the houses that gave us a chase. Word of advice, if kids knick knack on your door never chase them, it'll just result in them doing in more..

Yea, I was part of a tough crew that pelted windows with berries too! We used a modified catapult, cut a plastic bottle in half use the top half and tape a balloon around the end of it, drop the berries in and you could fire them off at serious velocity, they would splat on the window!

We also put a cooked sausage in someones letter box, I sort of regret that now, probably a bit much.

I never bothered playing it (too much effort) but I think we used to call it 'thunder and lightning'.

Cena, you should get one of those cheapo motion-activated lights from Lidl. Just as they are approaching, about to ring the doorbell, the light comes on and gives them a bit of a shock, since they wouldn't be expecting it.

Used to do it years ago

cena they could be doing lots worse things.

Does this mean that the young lads concerned will hear through the grapevine that 'Cena is after them' ?

As there former coach and a person dealing with kids ,i would suggest you stop

(a) driving around after kids and putting them in fear

(b) making judements on kids you meet after getting keys, running to car starting it and moving /driving and meeting kids

(c) find a different approach to dealing with kids who just want to have fun ,before some child accuses you of somthing you cant defend for being hotheaded in the moment


(d) if your in the chasing mode ring the gardai sit back and watch them reply

dont post your hot headness on socail media ,where anybody can bring it up in pursit of a paypot for frightening johnny/mary

moral stance has now ended

Dozen Wicked Words

We called it Cherry Door Knocking, no idea why. Not sure if it had capital letters though, never saw it written down.

Op you need to put a stop to them permanently, get some matches, petrol and the next time they do it burn your house down, it's the only way

Used to get a great buzz out of knick knacks as a kid. Anytime the cousins were up from the country we would go on a spree.
Funny story, I bought a house where we used to always knick knack as kids as a garda lived there then and gave us chase. So I used to always knick knack the house I live in now. Yes we called it knick knack.
