When i was younger my dad used to say the wierdest things. I've only just thought about them tbh, but i wanted to see if all dads were like this?
Like when he'd pass wind (what we used to call a "wombar" I really don't know why!!), he'd wave his hand and say "ooh spiders".
I used to imagine that the spiders were running away from the smell. Is my dad wierd or has anyone elses' made such wierd comments? :chin:

I know it's asking a lot, I mean it's not like parents have responsibilities is it. :yeees:
My dad is like that. He'll insist on watching a programme and il miss what i want but after 5 minutes he'll be snoring.
Then as soon as i turn over the channel he instandly wakes up and is like what are you doing i was watching that ... err you had your eyes closed and you was snoring, i don't think so.
exactly! Are you sure we aren't sisters :razz:
Most of my family have a weird habit of suddenly singing strange songs... Like 'I just dropped dead pig on the floor' and general made up ones for any occasion throughout the day.
my mum on the other hand.. shes crazy :crazyeyes
its particularly embarassing when im out with her - she spots some particularly "ugly" man and will say really loudly to me YOURS!!! generally when she does it she looks at him too so most of the time im sure they know what shes going on about :rolleyes:
Like there are those short holidays in austria called "pfingsten", and my dad came home, "boy oh boy! Matt, this year we both have pfingst-monday off!"
and I was like "heck yea! that's so cool."
until my mother told me that every year the pfingstmonday is off :S
Or when I was youger and there was that Michael Jackson "Billy Jean" song in the radio, and I turned it up (hey! he was cool back then) and my father announced, "Don't turn it too far up, it's already falling apart."
"what? Your stereo is brand new?"
"not the stereo, michael jackson that is."
and rubbish like that.
Needless to say the headmater moved swiftly on and avoided him ever since.
:yes: My Dad is awful for that.
He never lets me have the remote.
My sister is just as bad too with the music channels flick flick flick bet she hasn't seen adverts on the telly for months and months, It's like she will die if she see's them! But I can put up with seeing the music because we have similar tastes its when he fucking lies there with the footy or cricket or something equally as shitty on as well as falls asleep and doesn't let me turn over.
:grump:
I so remember that trend! I had black and white ones and my Dad called me Rupert
Did you have a lumberjack shirt too PK?
Urgh me too. Very annoying
He also says "cow fodder" when talking about pumpkin, and "chooks" for chicken, all the time.
And whenever he moves to go loo or whatever, and comes back, he ALWAYS says "ooh its cool when you move"
SOOOO annoying
He says loads of stupid stuff, but he's hilarious so I can't grumble.
Like yesterday, I asked mum to order us a chicken curry (she was going to the Chinese) and he stood at the top of the stairs ranting to me about bird flu. When I (correctly) pointed out, I wasn't a bird, he announced "Yes you are, how do I know? I WATCH YOU FLY". I mean :eek:??
His classic line is though, on his days off, he'll get up and announce "I'm not doing [insert something he's supposed to do for my mum here], I'm going into town to buy [something normally very random]." My father hasn't been into our town centre, other than to give me a lift for about 6 or 7 years. He sits and does bloody Sudoku puzzles instead.
Ditto. For some reason, he has the lovely habit of embarrassing me; but never does it to my brother or sister. *makes mental note to not LOL whilst sat at PC talking on MSN*
it was hilarious at the time
Random. I like that one.
