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

It's satisfying. Try it.

for prevented them to stick to their skin

Because 'in their day' they didn't have to use no stinkin' GPS

They exhausted

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.

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!

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

We like practical, useful gifts.

It's because he wants to throw your present outside and drive over it with his car.

Socks and video tapes. When I was a kid and asked my dad what he wanted for any holiday, the answer was always socks and video tapes.

I need gravel for my driveway!!!

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

Cause they're practical people

My dad tells us to get nothing

Because they get stuff they want all year long when they want it, if they have the money. I dont know anybody asking for gravel though. Maybe they would ask you to help them rake the gravel out once its delivered. That happened to us.

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".

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.

This one's my sister not dad XD

My dad always asks for beer (Coors) or a Beagle which he already has!

Why not?

This is also mom and me. Someone found it weird when I got her a snowshovel but idc. She needed one so why not?

If you don't get someone what they want you're a creep.

i am a dad and i wish for my birthday to have a beer alone, nobody bother me.

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

Back pain, mostly

It hides our terrible handwriting.

I think I´m a Dad then... ^^

because silence is golden when you have kids.

Because most food dates are arbitrary

we mentally stop ageing around 18.

because we don't have purses.

Because Homer Simpson started it.

To make room for the desserts.

Why do kids always have to pee as soon as the car moves?

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.

Do you have change in your purse?

Not just dads do this ...

Dad jokes are our God given right and we are going to use them.

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

Put a jumper on, save the world/wallet

Is it an Irish Setter? I talk to Scottish Terriers in a Scottish accent.

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

Free

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

Because they would look silly in a Hello Kitty shirt.

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.
