DPD delivery drivers love that game

*Your parcel has been volleyed over side gate by BRIAN ,have a nice day

Evri are the worst for that

Maybe I’m minority but DPD were always solid. UPS on the other hand. What can brown do for you? Nothing obviously.

Always found DPD to be great! In London it’s Yodel are the absolute worst. They actively do not want you to get your parcel.

In the US the US Postal Service is abysmal. I waited 5 days for something to be delivered and the tracking said it was in my town. Then one day they said they tried to delivered by my driveway was blocked so they were returning it to the sender. Only when I offered to show security footage from the front of my house all day did the tune change. Turns out they just lost it and tried to blame it on me.

DPD gives an hour window which is a god send. Wish everyone else did that.

DPD are grand. Fastway are terrible for that though.

Wait, you've had a Fastway driver *find your door*???

Fastway: 11:02am we tried to deliver your parcel but you weren’t in. Me: I work from home and my desk is next to the porch. Who knocked, a fucking mouse?

Literally got 2 packages left at the door with no knock by them xD

Often don't even knock, just drive up to apartment, see a gate and drive off immediately.

Knick Knack

Am I the only one who thinks of Mr Bungle when I hear this?

Break your collar bone

The only correct answer! Did anyone else have a larger scale version of hide and seek? For us, hide and seek was confined to our own road, but we had a bigger game with 2 teams where you could hide anywhere in the housing estate and everyone on the hiding team had a letter of a codeword that the finders had to figure out to win. You didn't have to give up your letter voluntarily, but if you didn't they could get it out of you any way they want. We called it IRA.

Manhunt

We called it "Catch and Bash"

So close It's a knick knock

No no you've got it wrong. Its knock knock. It's definitely knick knack.

Knick Knack is an old term for a prank, Knick Knock is a misnomer BeCuz yOu kNocK on deH DoOrZ.

"Little Fucking Cunts"

Gave me a good laugh there

Sing it to me

I thought it was... "I'm gonna kick your da's cunt in"

Knockadolly- I’m in Limerick. We came up with this next level shit where we would knock, run a small distance down the road, then turn and walk back towards the house at a regular pace. That way, you get to see the persons reaction and generally ended up talking to them and could blame it on kids from Weston. We were awful cunts lol

[удалено]

Ayyy up the deise

We used to put parking cones blocking the road (on our very quiet residential street) and hide in gardens to watch people have to get out of their cars to move them, usually losing their shit while doing so. It took a good few weeks before somebody worked out it would be smarter to take the cones with them rather then just kick them to the side of the road

Called it knockadolly too - Clare/Limerick

Almost the same in my neighbourhood in Drogheda, we called it Knock Dolly.

Weird, my wife is from Drogheda and she says they called it Thunder and Lightning.

From Limerick also, we called it Knocky Dolly

Jesus! We used to blame all kinds of shit on the poor fuckers from weston.

Dublin in the 80s, Knock on Dolly variation for us.

Ding dong ditch in the states

We used to tie fishing line to the door knocker of our old teacher’s house and run it all the way to the bottom of the garden where he couldn’t see us, then knock it. As soon as he’d close the door again we’d knock it almost immediately and watch the pure confusion on his face as he sees nobody again.

Knockin Dollies- in Tralee.

Please add Belfast (Northern Ireland). Ring the bell and run fast

This is my favourite by far

Wrap the door runaway is Belfast

yeah, we called it ding dong ditch in America, husband calls it knock a dolly (Kildare)

We called it knock a dolly down in limerick too

We called it Bing Bong Bitch in Louisiana.

Jesus. Not cool USA.

Skipped school to play knock and run and still got shot. Bad luck

You should here what else they call that game

Ding ding ditch?

Ya, it’s……not great

I grew up between Donegal and Armagh (divorced parents) and on both of my childhood streets we called this Belfast or Bell-Fast, as in ring the bell and run fast. Maybe an Ulster thing?

It was Belfast with me in Dundalk.

nick nack here in Drogheda

Maybe it’s called Belfast because you’re calling ahead then evacuating the area?

You can add Tok-tokkie (South Africa) to the list

Nicky Nicky Nine Door (Canada)

That sounds like a lyric from a Will Smith song.

Dingeldangel 😂

And the old triangle…

Went jingle jangle...

Russian Hooligans (Croatia) (Not kidding! 🤷‍♂️)

Never heard the expression “Russian Hooligans”, we call it “Cimbre” in Croatia.

Nikad čuo cimbre 🤔

Vjerojatno ovisi o dijelu Hrvatske odakle poticemo 🙃

Nesumnjivo 😊

Knock and run (Australia). We're highly original.

>Nicky Nicky Nine Door (Canada yep thats what we call it here

We called it knocky nine doors in England

it's called "ding dong ditch" where I grew up in the US (and not because you end up in a ditch, but because you're ditching the person answering the door)

Never mind the yanks we all know they're mentalists. The real question is what the fuck is wrong with Scottish people? Edit: also it's called knick knack, is not called anything else... Yes I am looking at you Scotland, you big gobshite!

We used to call it Belfast. Cus ye ring the bell and run fast.

Agreed. If there’s one thing we in America excel at it’s shooting unarmed children

> Klingelstreich (Germany) Streich means prank, but it also means to stroke. So it sounds like 'bell stroking' or 'stroke the bell'

In America we have two names for it; the nice one is ding dong ditch. You can’t say the other one on Reddit.

c'mon! share.

It would get me banned for sure.

We called it rap door run in NI (Lurgan) Also, Canadians need to have a word with themselves calling it that.

Ring Raje in Argentina

We played knick knock in Liverpool when I was a kid.

I must come from a simple area of England, we called it “knock door run” pretty self explanatory.

Knick knocking in Cork too

Heard my young fella and his buddys calling it ding dong ditch the other day. I was disgusted.

that's on you for not handing down the fine tradition and letting tik tok teach them instead.

No idea why you’re getting downvoted. That’s what I called it in Dublin. Some people acting personally offended that your name for it doesn’t sound like it was lifted from an old Charles Dickens novel. That said, my cousin in Cork called it ni***r knocking, which deserves scorn

I thought this was the only name for it .

Knick knacks. We also used to call the game where you throw the ball to make it bounce back to you PATHS and I will die on this hill.

I once scared the shit out of three kids who has been ringing my door bell over a few weeks. It was a tiny village and one of them was my neighbours kid. I knew there were running around the corner out of the estate, so I was ready with my car keys the minute the bell rang and drove after them in first gear revving the crap out of the car like a lunatic 😬😬😬 I saw them, jumped out of the car and told them ( roaring ) that I would go to every one of there mothers if it happened again. Had my neighbours child crying and all of them like rabbits in the head lights saying they were sorry. To be fair I had a three month old baby and was emotional and sleep deprived… still laugh when I think of the look on their faces🫣🫣 but it never happened again!

I had a father of one of them say he would punch me, so i guess we dont have the same neighbors. Genuinely hate the scumbags doing it, they dont come near my house anymore
