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.

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
Little kids do the same thing. Also sometimes people are unaware of if they are asleep or not.
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!"
My husband. Every damn night. He works, I can’t. Some days there’s shows he likes I don’t care for, but I don’t mind watching with him. But if you’re snoring and telling me you’ve been listening, go in the bedroom and snore to that tv!

All night he'd have his TV blaring and you could hear it all through the house, even with the doors shut and it kept me awake so sometimes at night I'd get up and quietly turn the television down and he'd wake up and bellow "WHO TOLD YOU TO TURN THAT DOWN?!" Yeah, he was an inconsiderate jerk who didn't care who he disturbed.
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 wasn't sleeping. I was squinting" my dad's answer to why he slept through two Lord of the Rings movies.
I took a picture of my husband laid out in his easy chair with three cats sleeping on and around him. He still denied he was actually sleeping.
Dad's with ugly kids close their eyes like that out of disappointment.
Its because we are planning to do something soon and just want to stock up on energy by pseudo sleeping. We are awake but we in standby mode
My grandmother would say that like taking a little nap was a sin.
And Benjamin Sisco's dad in DS9 had the best response to that ever. "I'm not sleeping. I'm checking my eyelids for holes". Still makes me laugh.
The supper is finished you get that nod in the chair going then the mouth of slowly open and then the snoring will start. And will never admit its sleep eventhough he's snoring
Probably because of the boring TV show/chick-flick the family has chosen to watch... again... for the 3rd or 4th time.
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.
The mirrors and seat clearly need to be adjusted, because the car is so badly parked they need to move it.
Because people with great sense of humor know what is funny. And also you probably make it too easy for him.
My kid loves when throw him, swing him, wrestle him, etc. Find me a 3 year old,boy who wouldn't love that
We hold a purse like a dead squirrel too, for much the same reasons.
Because.. moms are still expected to run around and do sh*t while sick while dads are allowed to "rest and take it easy"
Because that's exactly how directions work! North, South, East and West are not inventions of the crazed mind. They existed long before digital technology, and they'll exist long after you drop your phone two blocks from your house and suddenly realize you have no clue where you are and where to go from there.
Because it's impossible to be mad while you're listening to reggae. this is a fact. and when you have kids....reggae is life.
Because they will always be your dad, and always care for you no matter your age.
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...
