Woman’s hilarious prank war with her father hits new level

The NZ Herald has reported that Christchurch-born actor Bridie Connell has been in an epic prank war with her father.

The prank war started 15 years ago, and it’s all based on who can wish the other a “pinch and a punch for the first of the month” before the other.

Each month, we each try to be the first to say “pinch and a punch, first day of the month, no returns.” You can do this however you like: in person, in a letter, in a song. — Bridie Connell (@BridieKConnell) 1 May 2019

She documented the story via her Twitter and outlined just how far her father had gone in previous years.

(My principal was very confused; apparently dad had set up the appointment to talk about my grades). — Bridie Connell (@BridieKConnell) 1 May 2019

Bridie settled into a flight as her family are based in New Zealand and she is based in Melbourne. It just so happened that the flight was on the 1st of May and as Bridie was in the air, she was lulled into a false sense of security.

Today is the 1st of May. First of the month!I’m flying home to NZ for my cousin’s birthday. It was an early flight - too early to call dad before I took off. “It’ll have to wait,” I thought as I settled into my seat. — Bridie Connell (@BridieKConnell) 1 May 2019

It was after she had been surprisingly upgraded on her flight that she realised that she had been pranked by her father, again.

It turns out that the upgrade to premium economy was from Air New Zealand themselves as they felt guilty for helping her dad with the prank.

UPDATE: turns out the upgrade to premium economy was from @FlyAirNZ who felt ever so slightly guilty for helping papa prank me 🙏 I’m blessed — Bridie Connell (@BridieKConnell) 1 May 2019
