There are many things we humans still haven't figured out. Like, what came before the big bang, will AI eventually overtake us, and why do all dads grunt when they sit down. Or why they take grilling so seriously. In fact, there are probably more mysteries about dads than the universe. To try and get to the bottom of them, people have started Tweeting them, and the questions perfectly describe every dad in the history of dadness. The sad part, however, is that even with all that attention, most of them remain unanswered. Science is one way we make sense of the world around us, but it appears that even rationality can't explain everything.

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

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

When I was little and saw many adults not just men write this way I thought it was the coolest thing, my Mum did it, which was most excellent because then it was easier to forge notes to school from her, already had the signature down pat, just needed the all caps writing to give it that authenticity. The one time in 4 years that a note got questioned was one she actually did write lol

Their fingers are too thick for the intricacies of a finely postured cursive.

Because it's legible and they hate being unable to read handwriting so spare others the burden

Strange... my dad had perfect picturesque "This should be a font" handwriting... byproduct of his day, I suppose...

Actually my mum does this and not my dad. It's because she learned cursive before she learned printing so she never really prints

Also, Thats how you type if you have been in the military. Written orders were always in all caps :P Less chance of reading it wrong i guess? :)

Legibility, and the one track mind. Shifting gears between lower and uppercase is cumbersome.

I am not a dad or even male, but I do this on anything that requires print only as a mix of dysgraphia and having been taught print, cursive, and how to type all at the same time as a kid only wound up making me good at one of those things and the other two badly morphed into one

Fortunately it is all typed at my surgery. The pharmacists used to get extremely irritated with all the phone calls to the surgery asking for a clue as to what the doctor meant.

What does that even mean? no one is trying to prove anything. Most people have terrible hand writing, myself included. It's hard enough for people to understand what I write in all CAPS...

You are a bit rude in your questions. Why do you think they are "trying to prove anything" Emma??

Writing any kind of report for the military, police force, fire dept. etc. Using all Caps was (and is) required.

They may not have learnt how to write in lower case.

When my daddy taught me to do this, he specified it for any official paperwork (mail forms and the like), explaining that it prevented any confusion from your lower case letters; like whether you wrote a "g" or a "y", for example. However, he did end up writing like that on everything and I feel like it's a habit he can't break that came from years of paperwork he had to fill out when he managed a plane hanger in the Air Force. Perhaps a lot of dads got this habit from being servicemen?

Because younger people have trouble reading cursive handwriting?

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.

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

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

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

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.
