Ding Dong, Texas Puns

I said “are you gonna give them the No-Bell prize?”

I HAVE WON THE DAY

So... How do we regain this vote loss now that the lyin snake is out of the race guys???

So a few days ago the monster that birthed and raised tormented me died, of covid, really hope it was a miserable painful death. Too bad she wasn't alone, that was her worst fear after all.

I gave myself a few days to process it, see how I felt about the news. Maybe I would feel sad? Nope, this improved my year and it basically just started!

I feel so happy and free and like a weight has lifted.

I had gone no contact about 8 years ago, left the house even though she tried to hold me at gunpoint. Always insisted that she have one loaded near her, though we always slipped the ammo out, she was afraid of her children. Bitch I'd rather not go to prison over your worthless ass.

Oh I hope there's a place of torment for her, it'd be easy af too, just show her that her children live the way they want and are happy.

All I have to worry about now is my creepy father wanting to try and reconnect.

But I'm so happy the wicked witch is dead.

Due to job opportunities, we recently moved into a new neighborhood. While most things were going fairly smoothly, we'd at around 4pm hear a couple of knocks on our door, when we went to see who it was, to our surprise there wasn't anybody there. It was only until a couple weeks later that we thought there could be the possibility of someone doing ding dong ditch. We just never thought of it as everyone here seemed really relaxed, so ding dong ditch never crossed our minds.

As to not resort to any extreme measures, we put up a sign near the door saying to "please not trouble the peope inside by doing these silly pranks", which didn't work. Since it didn't work, we resorted to asking people about it, but all i got was that it was some sort of tradition for kids in the neighborhood to do this to the new people in the area.

This kind of irked me as ding dong ditch is really annoying so i set up a camera inside our house to capture who was outside our door.

After reviewing the footage multiple times i was able to confirm it was some brat who was a couple metres away. I went to speak to his parents but they laughed it off saying kids will be kids, so i decided that I'd myself do something about it. After 3 days the kid came back, but i was hiding behind an unlocked door with a large water bucket. As soon as he knocked and turned i opened the door and splashed him with water.

I thought that was that but, the kids parents came not even 10 mins later, demanding as to why i soaked their kid in water, i tried to justify my reasoning but to no avail.

Im conflicted/feel like an AH as i myself used a petty way of getting that kid to stop annoying us. I would love to hear your opinions on this as well.

GUILTY ON BOTH COUNTS!

Jim Bob and Michelle’s Statement

Not much else to talk about, let’s get some DD love going. Off the top of my head I really like when he gets mad at Chris for making up non existent or impractical gadgets for inspector gadget & comes up with more out of spite. He is a good sarcastic boy.

I moved into a new neighborhood this year, I'm renting a room in a share house with a few housemates, and the neighbors next door are a family. The other neighbors in the area are also families.

So I started hearing worrying shit from the one family next door, I'll call them the Joneses. Lots of screaming all the time from the parents, like way past what even an old school disciplinarian might think is acceptable.

I first asked some of the other neighbors if they'd heard what I'd heard, trying to figure out if it had been going on for long and if they were also concerned.

A lot of the neighbors were very 'bury their head in the sand' about it, some even going as far to say it was a private family matter and criticizing me for asking.

Anyway after a few weeks of this, my housemates and I were pretty worried. And one night we were drinking at home and heard the parents going off on their kids.

We decided to go intervene and knock on their door. Very much a drunk courage thing since we're a couple of small out of shape ladies lol.

But when we got there we rang the bell then we heard some really crazy screaming from inside and we all looked at each other, had a "oh fuck no" thought at the same time, and ran.

Then to our surprise things seemed calm and quiet in there for over a week. My housemates and I talked and realized maybe the neighbors knew someone could hear and they knew they shouldn't be doing it.

So we thought maybe our drunk idiot asses had accidentally done something useful, let the parents know that not everyone around was just gonna ignore it.

The next time we heard them yelling we wrote a note on a piece of paper saying "we can hear you, we will be calling the authorities if you continue being abusive"

And we ran over and stuck it on the door then rang the bell and ran.

Since then we haven't heard any more scary shit from their house and we're hoping it actually stopped for good, like they realized not everyone around was happy to treat it like "what goes on behind closed doors isn't your business"

But when we told some of our other friends about it, they thought we had been really cowardly to basically ding dong ditch the neighbors instead of actually stopping to talk.

I argued back saying we had to stay safe, and my friends thought that we still weren't going about it the right way.

AITA for dingdong ditching the neighbors like that?

Edit - on second thought we're planning on calling CPS whether or not we hear a

We got on quite well. We planned to meet again but obviously I don't want to, for this reason.

Should I tell him or not? If so, what should I say?

Update 1-- thanks for all the advice. I decided to tell him the reason I don't see us as having relationship potential is something he can change. I said I will tell him the reason if he wants to know, but there is no subtle or easy way to say it. He's seen my message but hasn't replied or asked why, so I think he must know.

Update 2-- He sent me a nice enough message back and said he would rather not have the feedback and wished me all the best. Hopefully he did guess and that the next time, with the next lady, he'll have a peen like a tasty lollipop.
