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.
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.
AND once you're used to it, it's way easier to park that way too!

I did that once - got my door dinged. Why the fool chose to park next to me out of the whole empty car park I have no idea. No longer need to as I'm in the bigger disabled spots. Lucky me.

Are we talking parallel parking here? If so, that's the way you're supposed to park. If you're talking parking lot, it's easier to pull out.
Obviously, dads are always thinking foward. Easy to move out from the parking, no view obsruction. And it proves they are always ready to go. Get in car, see clear view of road , go! Thise who question about reverse parking usually are poor driver who can't park their car properly..
Step dad does this and is horrible at it 5 attempts later he's almost straight. P.s. he's a terrible driver
Safer to park that way, safer to load/unload the car, safer and much less of a hassle to drive away.
It’s called Defensive Parking as it is easy to pull out of a space facing forward into (potential) traffic. There are a lot of UK companies where this is mandatory when parking at work due to poor visibility, especially during winter nights.
Because the world is a scary place. and if that 1/2 second is the difference between our families being safe and not, then 100% worth it.
Other parked cars aren't going to jump in your way. Reversing into a lane of potentially moving traffic increases risk of other drivers being morons.
when l go shopping l back into my chosen spot to a) make it easier to load the boot of my car and b) makes it easier to drive out with full visibility..l also back into my driveway so that l can safely drive out and not take out any school children walking pass my property..
That's a huge thing in Asia. I lived in japan for awhile and now I always back into spaces even though I now live in the uk.
because some of us dad's are actually professional drivers for work who have had to take the Smith Safe Driving class that teaches us to do that because it keeps us from getting into parking lot accidents with all the people who don't back into parking spots JUST BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT THEIR DAD DOES!!!!!!
if have just robbed a bank do you want to take the extra to back out of a parking spot
I always do that. I get out faster and I don’t block oncoming traffic. it’s common curtsy
Just so you won't make a noise and it is easier for you to exit the parking when I ask you to drive home.
If there’s a double row of spaces it just means that you don’t have room to load the trunk, there’s another car there
Husband (not a dad) does this all the time, just easier to get out - especially when you know that the back is going to be filled with "stuff" afterwards. Geezus, am I pregnant or something *checking*
Ahahhahahahaaa!!! I love this one. I NEVER do that, I can't stand it. However, my wife [i.e. MOM] does it all the time....
I always thought that is was because they might need to make a fast getaway.
If you stop in front of me to back in to a spot, you will get honked at and possibly flipped off.
And you'll witness a man who is all out of f***s to give.
Load More Replies...I, female, usually back in while my husband does not. So... are we both caught in the wrong body or what?
Load More Replies...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).
Load More Replies...26y dad here... Saw so many things that remember of my dad...then realize i start to do so much of this stuff too xD
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...
