Little Prankster Was Baptized With Water For Continuously Doing The Ding Dong Ditch

Have you ever rung someone else’s doorbell and run away? That is a game that some children play to keep themselves entertained.

Ding-dong ditch, otherwise known as knock down ginger, can be an entertaining pastime to keep one engaged during the evening. A "Ding-dong ditch" is a prank that involves ringing someone's doorbell and then fleeing before the unsuspecting victim can see who actually came to visit.

This game was played by mischievous children until doorbell cameras removed all the fun. So, if your doorbell has ever rung, only for you to find no one at the door, then you’ve been pranked.

Children who play this game always plan ahead to avoid getting caught, but the child in this story wasn’t so lucky. The original poster (OP) of this story, named u/Desperate_Lynx_427, suspected that someone must be playing ding-dong ditch on them.

This suspicion arose because someone would knock at the door, and upon opening it, they would expect to see a visitor, only to be puzzled by the empty porch. So, he set up a sign to stop this prank, but it continued.

Then, he set up a camera and discovered who the prankster was. He reported it to his parents, but they did nothing about it, so he decided to baptize the boy with water himself.

Well, ding dong ditch is a fun game, but you can get caught while playing it or even end up injuring yourself while you’re on the run. There are so many games to play rather than disturbing other people’s privacy and getting soaked for being naughty.

So, what’s your verdict on this case? Let us know by dropping a comment below!
