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

Because they do not want some fancy s**t. They ask what they need.
Damn straight!! I wanted a 32 gallon trash can, not some gift-shop nonsense.

I am a mom and ask for s**t like this. But I am also a single parent.
Who doesn't like useful things. I buy every year (on disability so tight for Christmas) a new pj set and crochet slippers. Everyone seems they're grateful
Again my dad xD He asks for something so obscure especially for Christmas and your like it's December where am I meant to find that
because if there was something they really wanted they'd just get it themselves. Mine did.
My husband knows I'd much rather shop at Home Depot than Macy's or Nordstrom. For Christmas I have received: the cast iron skillet I wanted, a set of 5 different pliers, an LED flashlight and BOOKS! I always get at least 2 new books. I'd much rather have something practical that I will actually use than just more "stuff".
Because they dont know what they want or have an ulterior motive. I once asked for 4 boxes of 18 super absorbent tampons. I got them and then soaked my neighbours car and stuck them all to his car before giving them a nice sprinkle to get them to expand. He is still trying to work out how to top that prank
My dad always said not to get him anything, but I bought him a candy bar for what turned out to be his last Father's Day and he loved that.
My god daughter got married a couple of years ago, she had a bad habit of inviting people over for a fire and a drink, then realizing she didn't have enough wood for the fire, so you would get a last minute text 'bring wood", so for her wedding gift I had 5 chords of wood delivered to her house. She loved it! I always taught my kids to decide on needs before wants, my husband wants a a truck for father's day, but he needs a frame for his commission scroll from the queen, so he's getting a very nice frame.
My dad always asks for beer (Coors) or a Beagle which he already has!
As a dad, I make all the money. If I want something fun I'll buy it. What I really need is some freakin' gravel for the driveway. If someone could get that for me, that'd be great.
We had to get rid of the things we loved for children. So we get things we 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
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.

Dad joke: What do you call an elephant that doesn't matter? An irrelephant
What do you call a cross between an elephant and a rhino? EllifIknow! (you may have to say it out loud to get it).

The transition is a slow one...my husband has been a dad for three years now, he is between the "yello" and "will fall asleep as soon as he touches a sofa" stages....he hasn't morphed into the "free mints" or "loud sneeze" stages just yet...but I know its coming!
Load More Replies...This post was great JUST because of the quick witted comebacks everyone posted underneath them. Well played everyone.
I don 't know about all of these but I miss my dad so much :(
I love how this entire post's comments were dads justifying why they did said stuff 😂
Some of these are really fun, but some are just being stereotypical, or don't make sense.
I wish they would stop shortening the posts! Some of the ones they deleted were pretty funny!

Load More Replies...Half of these remind me of my dad, some of the others remind me of me. Lol
Wow, L. W., daddy issues or what? This was supposed to be a humorous thread.
There are some really dumb questions in this thread.. why do kids always ask dumb questions instead of thinking?
Why did people feel obligated to provide answers? I was hoping for funny examples/experiences but instead got smart alecks
so i am a dad of 2 girls and i just read all of these tweets and i dont do any of them at all..none of them. Does that make me weird?
I enjoyed reading the comments on BP to the postings much more than the postings themselves!
Feel more like why are those people asking stupid questions about very relevant things dads do...
