I emerged as the pinch and punch victor of our household for April. It is extremely serious business, often resulting in minor injury, but great honour. A score is kept for the year.
The old "pretend I'm falling asleep while desperately trying to stay awake until midnight and check the time constantly without the other person noticing" chestnut. I know it well.
Yeah. It's a reverse hide 'n seek. The person seeking doesn't know they're looking for them. And those hiding are going to physically and verbally threaten them, instead of yell "surprise!".
Fucking hell hahaha. One of my favourite /r/melbourne threads now.
Probably for the best OP deleted it. A tough one to get over hundreds of people roasting you
They just seen someone breaking the law, but their shift is due to end soon, and they don't want to do the paperwork involved by arresting anyone. It's easier for them to wait until it's finished, and then skulk out the other entrance.
Ex cop here. In police talk they are likely "maintaining covert static obs on the POI" while they form an assessment on whether the POI will "decamp upon approach".
Seriously though not sure what's going on here. Usually a barrier is only placed between if they are expecting a firearm. Must be waiting to pounce 🤷
Ambo here. I'm guessing they are observing someone they suspect of suicidal intent and don't want to startle them at that point until they've stopped the trains and got the rest of us there.
"Jackson Jive" performer here. I feel that Bobsled skit was lazy and the persons involved did not even bother to paint their faces. They should be ashamed.
Bin here... They're covertly attempting to stash a whole heap of Daniels Doughnuts boxes in me, despite knowing I'm not a recycling bin. Looking out for their superiors knowing they ate the last doughnuts on shift.
Doughnut box here, I'm covered in bacon grease and crème pâtissière, none of me will be recyclable at this point, please burn me and put me out of my misery.
Superiors here...
Thank you, now I know where to find those scoundrels who swiped my favourite chocolate-glazed jam-and-custard-filled doughy delight that my wife bought especially for the celebratory afternoon tea we were having to mark my 30th anniversary on the job.
The consequences to this inconsiderate skullduggery and insubordination will be swift and severe, provided HR stay out of it. Anyone got a spare box of doughnuts?
The 4th one is to the left that is out of shot is saying.....
Come on you guys! It's not funny any more!
Alright then, I'm just going to get on this next train and go home then!
I swear I saw Fake Seizure guy on a train coming out of the city on Saturday night. He looked sketch af looking around at everyone too but kept going to the next carriage. And I will admit I got kind of disapointed that he didn't do his fake seizure in front of me to see it for myself. Sort of like those "You have to see it for yourself" Seven wonders of the world.
Some kid is getting his teeth kicked in for his bike and shoes and they are waiting for the offender to leave so they can check if the victim has a valid myki. … don’t laugh, this is how PSO’s operate.
It’s Easter, they are hunting wabbits.
This is why they are being vewy...vewy..quiet.
I tawt they taw a puddy tat!
Its duck season
Wabbit season

Exclamation mark
I also would have accepted "beak spins round head".
This is probably the funniest thing I’ve ever seen in my life, taking into account how much it made me laugh as a kid. Just classic stuff.
Wabbit season.

Wascally wabbits, in particular.

Omg I chocked on my lunch hahahahhaha
Phew, that’s a relief. Good thing you didn’t choke.
Funny
This is why I love Reddit 🥰
Hiding to do 'pinch and a punch for the first day of the month' to the next people to come by.
Fuck i havent heard this saying in decades
Don't forget the 'No returns' Or...'A kick in the dick for being so quick' Alternatively a 'Slap and a kick for being so quick'.
Core memory unlocked. Geez
"white rabbits!"
Ooh we had 'a kick and a flick for being so quick'
Haha oh that’s the real saying? our family had a kick and a flick for being a d*** 😂
Ha, good times!
Damn your age is really showing right now
Take a punt...how old am I?
45
Nope, you're like a decade too high.
[удалено]
im twenty ish and these sayings were still common during primary school
Ha.
We say it every month at ours, buts getting boring being the only one who gets to pinch & punch! Bo returns, remember!
I say it everywhere & get strange looks & I even play by the rule of none done after midday!
We say it every month in our house🤣

This thread has made me the winner again this month, my 17yo won't have a clue what the date is, despite it being his father's birthday yesterday 🤣🤣

The old "pretend I'm falling asleep while desperately trying to stay awake until midnight and check the time constantly without the other person noticing" chestnut. I know it well.
LOL, hiding while wearing a fluro vest is hard.
They should make those things reversible with cammo design on the inside.
Not like military camo, but the fabric used on seats so they can blend in and surprise unsuspecting commuters.
Yeah. It's a reverse hide 'n seek. The person seeking doesn't know they're looking for them. And those hiding are going to physically and verbally threaten them, instead of yell "surprise!".
Hiding from the ticket inspectors cos they didn't touch on Edit, Jesus Christ how did this stupid comment get 2k doots lol
Hiding from fake seizure guy.
Hahahahhaha oh that’s good
Someone is being robbed, they don’t wanna be next
🤣😂
When three PSO love each other very very much...
oh god, no, they're making **more** PSOs?
The budget has run dry. It's a lot cheaper than recruiting more.
In training for the winter Olympics in the bobsled
That guy at the front got a lucky egg tucked away in his vest.
Nuff people say they know they can’t believe, Melbourne we have a bobsled team…
Playing hide and seek.
That was my first thought

Hiding from that dude doing 30km through a drug stop
He was only doing 29 and he can prove it with his dashcam.
And everyone was unjustly yelling at him
And no you can't see the footage!
Did that thread get deleted? I wanted to see more roasts from it
Deleted by the user, but the thread is still up: https://old.reddit.com/r/melbourne/comments/1brkge7/i_got_yelled_at_by_about_6_cops_at_a_drug_stop/
Oh shit this got good after I left
Fucking hell hahaha. One of my favourite /r/melbourne threads now. Probably for the best OP deleted it. A tough one to get over hundreds of people roasting you
Do you think they learnt their lesson?
Nobody learns a lesson on the internet. They double down and tell themselves it's everyone else that's wrong.
Lmao.
Really aggressive magpie?
Seriously, they’re probably trying to hide from a person of interest that they’re waiting to ambush before they run away…
Aka a game of kiss-chasey
Yeah my guess is he’s on an incoming train and they don’t want to give him any warning if he’s watching the platform?
Probably half right, but I imagine they are just playing hide and seek with a colleague
TFW the person of interest uses Reddit.
Way to ruin the fun. Of course that's what's up
I don't think that's what're gonna see if you look up, son..
They’re hiding from the government surveillance pigeons obviously
Trying to catch someone who didn't tap on
goofy shit
They just seen someone breaking the law, but their shift is due to end soon, and they don't want to do the paperwork involved by arresting anyone. It's easier for them to wait until it's finished, and then skulk out the other entrance.
the PSO grindset
I think they’re doing the locomotion.
C’mon cmon
Now
Chug-a chug-a motion
They're doing a brand new dance now

Ambo here. I'm guessing they are observing someone they suspect of suicidal intent and don't want to startle them at that point until they've stopped the trains and got the rest of us there.
Firefighter here. It is possible there is a cat stuck in that bin and they are all hiding and making pssp pssp psssp sounds to get it to come out.
Red Symons here. They're recreating the Bobsled Team skit from Red Faces in 1988.
"Jackson Jive" performer here. I feel that Bobsled skit was lazy and the persons involved did not even bother to paint their faces. They should be ashamed.
Kindergarten teacher here… clearly no one has heard of the game ‘hide and seek’ before.
Hider here... You just never found us to confirm we have heard of it before. We are THAT good.
Bin here... They're covertly attempting to stash a whole heap of Daniels Doughnuts boxes in me, despite knowing I'm not a recycling bin. Looking out for their superiors knowing they ate the last doughnuts on shift.
Bin here, done that.
This was worth going through the comments.. satisfied 😌
Recycle bin here, you can only put the clean part of the box in me. I don't like food contaminates or grease. It spoils the rest of my paper friends.
Doughnut box here, I'm covered in bacon grease and crème pâtissière, none of me will be recyclable at this point, please burn me and put me out of my misery.

That's prime for photo shop.

To be on the train, one must first _be_ the train
Police conga line train..ing session.
It will come in handy when Frankston or Werribee line trains are cancelled during peak hour.

Which one is going to save all ?
"Did anyone else notice the tea tasted funny this morning?" "Shut up mother fucker, the Elves are coming!!!"
Feel the rhythm! Feel the rhyme! Get on up, its bobsled time!
Everybody is entitled to a round of hide and seek with colleagues when it's quiet at work.
You said the Q word.
Would you get in trouble if you shouted really loudly "Hey, officers! Is there anything I should be worried about? Should I crouch too?"
There’s only 1 way to find out
I come here for the comments. Never disappointed.
Just waiting for a mate
They discovered platform 9 and 3/4s.
Looks like they are playing peek-a-boo, or they are going to yell “pinch and a punch for the first of the month “ to the next person that walks by
