People Are Sharing The Things That Dads Do But Nobody Knows Why, And They’re Spot-On (30 Tweets)

They think sleep is for the weak and they don't wanna be weak OR they know falling asleep in front of a loved one is rude and they don't want to be rude to their loved one

It's satisfying. Try it.

for prevented them to stick to their skin

Because 'in their day' they didn't have to use no stinkin' GPS

Because they can! and the GPS doesnt know the back roads, or that old lady jones drives that way 2 miles an hour on sundays!

Because some dads think they know the short cuts but end up taking longer route.

Oh hell yes!!! Few weeks ago was driving my father to a wedding. I was following the GPS and he was following an old out of date map. All of a sudden he was screaming at me that I have to get off at the next motorway exit. Ended up back roads in the middle of nowhere and about 50Km longer of a drive :(

Because in certain cases they can

Cause the electronic devices are from the Devil?

Sometimes a GPS seems to lose its mind or lose track of where we are for a short time

Being a man that knew their way around back in the day took a lot of time and experience and it's something you took pride in. The more you knew the bigger your world was... GPS came along and made a lifetime of knowledge irrelevant... Just listen to the directions an old man gives you, it will make them feel good...

Mostly because the GPS is wrong,. If you can't outsmart GPS, you're useless and shouldn't be driving. It has nothing to do with being a dad it's called not being a Gen Z child. We didn't have GPS back in the day and trust me, my GPS has tried to drive me into a lake before.

Because gps is only good most of the time

Well, turn this away by that big tree and then that away by the old house that’s not there anymore.

because GPS are not to trust, I once watch the GPS of a friend for fun, we ware sailing about 500 m from the coast and the GPS gave the position of an hotel, may a submarine one, I didn't check!

My dad normally won’t go the way the gps wants and ends up taking a longer route...lol

Because a lot of the time GPS isn't actually "smart"...my GPS is old and outdated and expensive to update ($450 for the latest DVD)....and GPS doesn't often take short-cuts, traffic, construction, lane closures, etc into account, it just looks at a map and says, GO HERE; TURN LEFT; IF POSSIBLE DO A U-TURN IN THE MIDDLE OF THE BLOCK WHERE THERE'S A CONCRETE DIVIDER, THEN TURN RIGHT AND YOU'LL ARRIVE AT YOUR DESTINATION SOMEWHERE VAGUELY AROUND THE PIN I'VE DROPPED ON THE MAP.

Overuse of GPS is bad for the brain. Use the brain.

Some times GPS detects parked cars as part of the road traffic and offers a detour that is so out of way, thus we improvise with what shortcuts we know

My father, who had no natural internal compass, or great spatial relations skills, always disregarded the map, saying it wasn't accurate. (The map was always right.)

Because Dads are wise enough to understand that a GPS is a computer making decision based on calculations that were programmed by a human. They are not magic, they are technology. Example: My GPS is confused by I-85 in atlanta. There is a special lane there that allows people with a sticker to go faster than other people. The GPS sees these people flying along and works their travel speed into the aggregate that it then uses to determine route speeds. The result of it's calculations is wrong for the faster travelers because it includes the slower, and vica versa. Your Dad probably knows the streets of ATL better than a random set of stats generated by a machine programmed by a young pot head out in California.

This is... my husband - who is not a dad. Oh boy.

Use a map. GPS will still take you to the wrong place with out telling you because even though the address you put in has existed for 40 plus years it wont be able to find it and just send you somewhere else

They exhausted

This is the "at ease" pose that many servicemen are used to. He's relaxed but observant.

Because they do not want some fancy s**t. They ask what they need.

Well I'm not a dad but I do take grilling or any kind of meat cooking seriously. I mean the animal had to die so you can eat it, the least you can do to respect that, is being really focused on making it really delicious :D

Back pain, mostly

It hides our terrible handwriting.

I think I´m a Dad then... ^^

because silence is golden when you have kids.

Because most food dates are arbitrary

we mentally stop ageing around 18.

because we don't have purses.

Because Homer Simpson started it.

To make room for the desserts.

Why do kids always have to pee as soon as the car moves?

Dumb question. Answer - Easier to get out, easier to load/ unload the trunk when it isn't facing traffic, Dads don't see it as a special showy thing, just an obvious thing to do.

Do you have change in your purse?

Not just dads do this ...

Dad jokes are our God given right and we are going to use them.

The mirrors and seat clearly need to be adjusted, because the car is so badly parked they need to move it.

Put a jumper on, save the world/wallet

Is it an Irish Setter? I talk to Scottish Terriers in a Scottish accent.

They are showing self restraint, they know they will accidentally keep any pen they accept

Free

Never! Why do wife and kids always have theirs on silent and miss every message a dad sends?

Because they would look silly in a Hello Kitty shirt.

Secret for you...we hate texting. We are not 13 yr old girls. A 30 second phone conversation can take the place of 20 text messages and misunderstandings.
