Is it petty and a little childish to respond to a ding dong ditching kid by drenching them with a bucket of water? Kinda, yeah. Is it extremely effective and satisfying? Also yeah. This person's first course of action was neighborly discussion, but when that failed, the prank war began. Also, the kid started it anyway. For some more intriguing morally ambiguous pettiness, here's the guy who bought his own ranch to spite a pizza place owner.

    Font - Posted by u/Desperate_Lynx_427 23 hours ago 2 2 30 25 S 20 AITA for throwing water on a kid who kept doing Ding Dong ditch Not the A-e 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 don

    Font - 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.

    Font - 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

    Font - Obvious-Result6853 · 23h Asse Enthusiast [6] ] O You may be an AH but this is great. You tried to resolve it peacefully and they chose to brush it off. You threw water on the kid which, in my opinion, is harmless. Technically you also warned them you'd handle it so they have no room to complain.

    Font - Rage-Parrot - 23h e Asske Aficionado [17] NTA - This deserves it own post in r/pettyrevenge though. When I moved into my current home, the kid across the street decided Ding Dong Ditch would be a great idea for the new neighbors. Now as luck would have it; I was about to turn in for the night and was in the middle of locking my front door. When the kid knocked, he was not even the second knock in, when I swung the door open. Him and his friend looked horrified and began running for dear l

    Font - BazTheBaptist · 23h Commander in Cheeks [202] NTA not your fault he got wet on your property where he wasn't supposed to be lol. You tried to handle it other ways and it didn't work. So your pranked him back. You didn't take it to far, he didn't get hurt, they just don't like it when the shoes on the other foot. However if your neighbours think you are TA even if you're not, you're probably not going to have a great time in that neighborhood anymore.

    Font - mudbunny - 23h S 2 Asse Enthusiast [6] ESH You are a f. king adult with, in theory, the ability to react like an adult. The best thing to do was to not respond or show they were bothering you. Instead, you responded like a child, not an adult. The other parents are asst..es for not stopping their kid from doing it when you asked them. The kid is an assi.'e because, well, you knew it was them. Also, be ready for many eggings of your house.
