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

My husband did this all the time! I think he genuinely didn't know he was sleeping. One time he even asked me why I said he was sleeping, and I was all, "Dude! You were even snoring!"

I have a picture of my father in different states of sleep at every single party or function he attended. The best one, and the one that illustrates just how stubborn dad's are to admit drifting off, is my dad with a plated piece of pie in his left hand and a forkful of said pie hit by the pause button in his brain, halfway to his mouth and eyes shut tight. I used to stand on the corner, across the street from his bedroom window on the second floor, just to hear him snore. I swear his furniture moved back and forth across the floor just like the furniture in any great Warner Brothers Cartoon years ago.

I'm checking my eyelids for holes...

Omg. This is also my husband - how did he absorb the dad-gene?

It's satisfying. Try it.

My dad likes to add sound effects to them like "ACHOOEY WOOEY!"

My sneezes are super loud, there's nothing I can do to make them quieter. It just happens invalunterily. I am also multi-sneezer ... I am talking upwards of 6 in a row.

my co-worker is the same, hes old enough to be my dad. he sneezes so loud is scare the s**t outta me. lmfaooooooo!!!!

I'd rather have one big sneeze than 4 or 5 little ones.

for prevented them to stick to their skin

It help single out one to pop in their mouth. I do it too lol.

What Kjorn said and also to get them arranged in the center of your palm so they go into your mouth and not past your face all over the room.

To make sure they are unstuck from his palm and they make a nice clean entry with no clingers - right? ... yes?

Maybe it makes it sound like they have a lot????? Lol

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.

Because a GPS sometimes leads you in the wrong direction of a one way, across a field or into a river. Try using your head from time to time instead of blindly following orders from your phone

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 :(

They exhausted

because we're tired... seems pretty obvious.

LOL cause kids are exhausting work!!

"I'm not asleep! I'm resting my eyelids!"

if I comfy. I sleep.

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

I know the REAL reason, it's because they are supposed to be doing something else that mom told them to do and they don't want to be caught procrastinating!

So they'll be ready in case it is announced that the revolution has begun.

Probably because they can't read the titles from the couch/chair

This one, I can understand. When I have no pockets, I don't know what to do with my hands... I just don't like having them hanging in the sides.

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

Because at my age, I don't want a bunch of stuff I'm not going to use. I already have too much stuff, so if you ask what I want for my birthday, you're going to get an answer like "ham and cheese on rye".

Because the older you get the less stuff you want, so they start thinking of stuff that the whole family needs, which is usually random things.

They are practical so they ask for practical things

Why not? If they want it!

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
