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.

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.

My husband backs into every space....also, he picks the furthers spot away from other cars so no one "dings the doors".

Parking backwards is easier.

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.

Step dad does this and is horrible at it 5 attempts later he's almost straight. P.s. he's a terrible driver

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.

I think it says it all that a woman has asked this.

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.

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!!!!!!

I always do that. I get out faster and I don’t block oncoming traffic. it’s common curtsy

I do because it's easier to get out.

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.

My husband does this and it drives me batty. We dont store s**t in the trunk/ back of our cars unless going on a trip, so it does not save any time.

Because we can ...

... in case you need to make a quick getaway

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....

Turning axel more narrow

it's easier to get out… duh!

If you stop in front of me to back in to a spot, you will get honked at and possibly flipped off.

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.
