As an adult have you ever wanted to play knock on doors and run away?

Indulge yourself, @LornaLove!

You just missed your chance to knock and run…people would have laughed it off.

I outgrew the games of my childhood. Collecting stuff/glassware and playing with words paretty much fulfill my need of games.

HOWEVER, if you have those urges still, I firmly believe you should follow them. Hello Kitty is SOOO cute! Every time I see her, I think “Well Helll- LO, Kitty!” Call it collecting if you want cards, marbles. Have you considered being a Big Sister?

I’d love to follow jehovas witnessessessessesss home, then i’d knock on their door & run away all fucking night long.

I lived my childhood, then lived it again through my children, and am now living it again through my grandchildren. I like to play Candyland, Uncle Wiggley and Pachisi. I like the cotton candy and snow cone machines, and the easy bake oven. I love to trick-or-treat and go to Disneyland. I cleverly hide my urge to relive my childhood by doing those things with the grandchildren, because I am doing it for them, right? NOT! Ha-ha!

No. People have done that to me before and I hate it.

No.

Yes to everything you said besides the “knock and run”. That just annoys people. The other things are harmless.

I didn’t even knock on doors and run away when I was a kid. My parents would have killed me. That is not something I ever wanted to do.

Go ahead and play. Be a kid. I have 3 children, so there are plenty of opportunities to explore this behavior.

But do you want to engage in all kid behavior – or just the harmless, fun stuff? The knock-and-run game is obnoxious, and can really screw with people. You could be knocking on the door of someone with a baby who has just gone down for a nap. Or you could legitimately scare an older person. You don’t have to screw with people to have fun.

No is right.

All it will take is for one elderly person to grab their chest and fall to the floor, and guess who might go to prison ?

Stick with Parchisi, like @Skaggfacemutt does…

I wouldn’t do it to a total stranger. However, it is always fun to prank a friend (who also likes to kid around).

@ibstubro Had to laugh at your HELLO-LO Kitty!! Glad you saw the spirit of the question.

I wouldn’t literally knock on a door, it is an example of child like playfulness. If I did my tits would knock me out first of all and my smoking habit would not allow me to run very fast.

You could have probably knocked and run with impunity Halloween. Missed your chance for another year, now.

;-)

I still like to dress up Barbies. I don’t actually play with them. I just like to style them. This worked out well when my daughter was younger. She would always undress the dollls and leave them for me to redress. Now, I have my nieces. I may never have to grow up.

@ibstubro I have a collectible Barbie and Ken modeled after a romance book (The Raider by Jude Deveraux). Shocked? :)

@Juels

I have a huge collection of advertising toys, ordered as premiums, from 1979 to about 1990.

I have a very nice collection of glass candy containers. Yes, they once gave kids little toy glass suitcases and lawnmowers with tin lids/handles that were filled with the little sugar balls.

I have a huge collection if toy glass dishes, mostly from the 30’s & 40’s. Sets and sets. I have the aluminum and tin toy kitchenware from the same era, up to some plastic from the 50’s 60’s. I have aluminum coffee pots 4” tall that would literally perk, “just like moms’”.

I have a great wall display by my computer desk that has a metal rotary mower, a tin snow shovel, a metal ironing board, a wood handled rag mop & ‘hogie’ sweeper and a couple of wood golf clubs all on a scale of about 30”. Also a glass & wood washboard about 12” tall.

I’m a collections collector, and I love the bright, cheery colors and graphics of past toys. The innocence of glass and metal and wood toys for children.

The toys are the tip of the iceberg, sadly.

Shocked? :-)

Oh, and I also have an auction house. We have dispersed households where the grown women had Barbies in the 100’s. China faces dolls in the 100’s. One woman (rumored a crabby) had, like, 25 Christmas tree that she kept up and decorated year round.

When I advise someone to indulge their urges, I know of both the extremes it can reach and the joy it can bring.

No, I don’t play with the toys. (There isn’t the room, lol.) But I don’t box them up and put them away, either. I marvel at some piece, as least once a day.

No. Didn’t do it as a child earlier. I was never bad.

When the doors are close you can tie the handles together with string so they can’t be opened then knock and run away and not be caught. Hypothetically speaking of course.

lol @flutherother trying to make bad, worse?

Extreme door knocking antics include placing an empty glass bottle over the door handle, person opens door…smash!!
Not that I ever did that, I was a good boy I was.

@ucme couldn’t resist bad, worse, worst?

lol

Never when I was young and not now. I don’t understand it at all, it isn’t funny to me to bother other people or see them look ridiculous.

knock knock!

who’s there?

Sh. Nobody, because I ran away.

well, if you finally topped out the bad and left a burning bag of dog poo, it’s just going to have to burn itself out. I’m not stomping on it!

No. However, I have lived on 5–10 acre properties up here in the Sierra foothills for the last 22 years. Kinda hard to play knock knock jokes when you have to run over a half mile or more between houses. Besides, you’d be likely to get shot up here in these hills. lol

I DID make a new friend through a wrong number a few years ago though, I invited her to my big party bash ” Burning Goose” on my 5 acre, secluded property. She is forever known now as ” Not Marilyn.” lol

” Hi Not Marilyn, listen, you sound like a fun lady, wanna come to my party? haha
She did! ”

Very cool @Coloma. Sounds like something I would have done.

I’m not a Door Ditcher…

But I do (at 27) jump on bouncy castles and trampolines, play card games on occasion (though I prefer tabletop RPGs), and hula hoop whenever a hoop presents itself.

At Renn Faire this past year, I successfully hooped a two-inch-thick, 15-foot-diameter hoop for 10 minutes, in a corset. I wish someone had filmed it.

Ringing the door bell and running away is till prominent in my flat. I just get annoyed. I miss playing Jump-Rope and Double Dutch. Nowadays the games I play (my daughter’s favorite) are Blind man’s buff, Miss Mary Mack, Rock paper Scissors etc.

But, you still get to play, @Smitha! That’s the point.

:-)

” Blind mans buff”...sounds kinky.

@Coloma It’s not kinky unless she SEES him running away after he rings the doorbell. Why do you think she never checks the peephole??

inb4 peehole joke.

Didn’t do that as a kid.
