You remember learning that the reason veins can appear blue is cause deoxygenated blood turns blue? Well that's total horseshit. Your blood doesn't turn blue, and the reason your veins might look that way is because blue and red light travel though skin with different levels of success, so what's reflected back is a more bluish color. If you just learned this, you may be intrigued by these people who learned basic stuff way too late. Anyway, this dad asked if he was wrong for being really persistent with a teacher teaching the wrong thing.

It takes a village to teach a kid some good cussin'. After this dad left his 5-year-old kid unsupervised for the duration of a 14-hour flight, the dude actually sitting next to the kid took it upon himself to do some parenting on his behalf. You gotta learn your swear words somehow. We've seen questionable parenting like this mom who wanted to let her kid try the hottest hot sauce or these weird punishments in general.
Sometimes it's a Saturday and you just want to relax without anyone evangelizing to you. Things started off polite, but after having his door knocked on a third time, this guy thought that he should be more bold and really weird them out. And it worked. When dads aren't making dad jokes they're getting epic dad revenge.
This son's TIFU is one for the books. He managed to convince his dad to give AirBnB a shot, instead of just taking the normal hotel route, while on their journey to check out purchasing a new truck. Unfortunately, the worst-case scenario pretty much presented itself when they showed up the neighboring house was in the middle of a massive narcotics bust. Yikes.
Dad took a calm and calculated revenge on a cheap contractor who was trying to pull one over on him and other clients. He pulled off his revenge by putting liens down on different lots that the contractor had expressed interest in. From there the contractor was stonewalled from being able to pick up any more work on the lots, so he sued the dad and his family. Therein lies his biggest mistake. He should've just paid for the repairs that the dad asked him to pay, but instead he ended up losing $50K in court.
Turns out sugar isn't just for destroying car engines. When this couple decided that their bathroom should look different than how they asked for two weeks before, payed half and demanded the guy finish the job, he took revenge into his own hands. Revenge on customers isn't exactly advisable, but boy is it satisfying to hear about.
They go by many names: dad jokes, groaners, dumb puns, just awful, etc. Anyway, we love stupid dad jokes in all their forms and will jump at any opportunity to hear these nuggets of simple, terrible genius. This reminds us that we probably need to call our dads..
Turns out you weren't as slick as you thought when you were growing up. Adults aren't that stupid, and they know when their kids are keeping secrets from them. Honestly, it's kind of terrifying to think about what your own parents must have known about you that you thought you were getting away with.
Rogersimon10 is a prolific commenter on askreddit who is able to railroad any wholesome story into his dad beating him with jumper cables. It's a dark kind of trolling, and it's pretty dumb, but we admire his commitment to the bit. You never expect the jumper cables. He's a bit like Ken M, but with jumper cables.
Texting is still something that older parents didn't grow up with, so naturally they're gonna make some mistakes. Also, they're parents, so what they choose to say isn't gonna be exactly what you wanted to hear either. Sometimes parents go savage but mostly they're just overbearing and bad with technology.
If you want terrible life advice, there are a lot of places you can find it. Even if someone thinks they have your best interest at heart, they might not exactly have the proper wisdom to be helpful. Here are some really bad ideas. Some folks dodged these bullets, others regretfully went through with them.
Twitter's resident funny dad has churned up some relatable gold about the emotional rollercoaster of raising kids. It sounds like a whole lot of these check out. If you're looking for more content that reflects the ups and downs of working through raising a kid in this wild old world, check out this list!
We're not exactly sure how relatable this problem is, but at least they have a sense of humor about it. I guess the lesson here is don't wait too long to scatter a loved one's ashes. And I guess the other lesson would be "don't expect helpful solutions from the internet." Facebook commenters can deliver pretty serious burns, like the time they roasted this ad for having an absurd model with a comically tight shirt.
