dad

Poor dad lost his daughter's hamster for a hot second, and a complete and understandable breakdown ensued. Fortunately, everything works out in the end. You can really feel the love in dad's panicked texts. 

Growing up when Grand Theft Auto was new was one hell of a time. Many of us had to hide the game from our parents, but it was still inevitable that they'd catch you doing some unsavory stuff. We always wondered how people with very strict or very religious parents dealt with it. They made for some interesting scenes, like how this person's religious dad out-religioned some evangelists at the door.

At least the cats got to have a magical day playing with all of those crickets. That being said, this dad learned a valuable lesson in not making assumptions about cricket deliveries. As one can imagine, when those little critters break free, it is very hard to round them back up again. 

It's dad joke time. Are they dad jokes in the proper sense? Not really, but they are jokes about dads and for dads, and that's good enough. Here are some more tweets and memes to keep dads going through these dark times, and here are dad memes that go father than ever before.

Sometimes customers think they know what they want, and are so pigheaded that they refuse to listen to employees tell them crucial information like "the plate is hot" or "sir, you're eating plastic fruit." In this case it was a dad who demanded to use a go kart with no engine in it. For some more customer service demands, here's one where a customer demanded to speak to a man until he ended up in the legal department.

This dad found himself in a predicament when he didn't speak up about some underwear his daughter found. Did this dad just want to see the world burn? The internet weighed in. For some better parent/child relationships, here's a dad who's instinct saved his daughter and some wholesome and chaotic "don't tell your mother" moments.

Whether it's getting to see a movie with swears, doing some super risky crap and almost getting hurt, or general moments of sworn secrecy, there are moments when a father is inclined to say " don't tell your mother." Almost everyone has a moment they can remember their dad letting them do something their mom wouldn't approve of and being like "alright be cool." To keep it going with the dad theme, here are some tweets and memes to keep dads going.

Sometimes the creepiest stories are about some close call or gut feeling that just saves someone's skin. Good thing this dad got suspicious. For some creative creepiness here are some two sentence horror stories that expedited the fear, and for a funny story here's a five year old who's too smart for her own good.

What's amazing is that this is about a relationship that's years and years old. The guy must have finally found the free time to send the thing. It's got everything. It's got calls to restore honor, it's got promises of divine punishment, and even the references are cited. He seems to be less interested in the honor part and more into what kind of divine punishment befits the dude. Sometimes relationships ending can lead to some unintended consequences, like the petty things divorced people have done to spite their ex.

This guy might be looking to meet someone special, but he is clearly already in touch with his inner dad. The dad joke is strong in this post, indeed. Check out some more witty and stupid jokes that are technically correct over here.

Poor dad is just trying to go around and spread the love and kindness, but every time he does so it inspires panic from the worried women in his house. Let's all just appreciate the dads out there that are trying their best, and unintentionally inspiring anxiety in their confused family members. Their hearts are in the right place. 

It's all about the context here in this particular AITA. Dad had saved money for his son's college fund, which ultimately didn't end up getting used, because his son decided to drop out. Fast forward, and the son is asking his dad if he could tap into the college fund for what sounds like newlywed expenses/alleviating debt. Dad was not about it, because the whole point of the money was for it to be used for college. 

This company thought they'd just cut dad's vacation time with no backlash. Well well, dad was having none of it. What followed was a smooth, calculated case of malicious compliance. Dad nailed it. 

This dad took to Reddit to ask folks whether or not he was in the wrong for wanting to continue his enjoyment of bacon, even though it created distress for his vegan daughter's lifestyle. Folks seem to agree that dad isn't doing anything wrong at all. 

Brace yourself, this guy's story about discovering his dad's old notebook after he'd passed away is an emotional rollercoaster. Real or not, it's a beautiful and touching tale. 

This dad's daughters decided they didn't want his "new wife" to attend their weddings. It sounds like there is a bit of a hang up going on, when it comes to the daughters moving on, and accepting their dad's new partner. Ultimately, the choice is up to them, but at this point, it looks like they're in a bit of a gridlock. So, dad is wondering whether he's in the wrong over potentially choosing not to attend, if they won't include his new wife?
