The most pissied I’ve seen him, was when power went out and alarm clock blanked. He was always 30 mins early, and never rushed nor broke the speed limit. All I heard was cussing and screaming and the screen door slammed! I don’t think his pants were zipped and his shoes and socks in hand... that 69 Malibu SS broke the speed limit that day! Retired 39+ Years never checked in late and used vacation days for home repairs or sick days.
2nd most pissed: my older brother had some friends over one summer day (obnoxious and mischievous as usual) and we were bored and decided to heave green pine cones (massive and solid as a brick) toward the highway... I was the runt at the time, but more athletic than all his friends combined. I stood about 60 yards from the road canvassed by a house and row of 100 ft pines, crow hopped and let one rip... car came 55-60mph... Smash!!! Through the windshield! We all started running around like cockroaches in a panic! The car stops, starts trying to figure the cause... Low and behold, dads work van is the next vehicle to pass and pulls in driveway. I’m under neighbors house/bushes at this point. The guy apparently sees my older brother or one of his friends, put together the pile of run over pine cones, and no tree branch over highway to drop onto his car. My older brother and his friends got in more trouble than I did...
Always knew the belt meant Business, but spent more time on my knees and nose against the wall growing up.
Would relive in a heartbeat and not change a thing.

We were at the same game. Only one of three Bama games I went to. I'm a good luck charm.
But to the OP, I told my dad one time in elementary school if he hit me I would call the child abuse people.
Well he did, beat me like a rented mule. Then after he unleashed his fury, calmly said "ok, here's the phone, now call them".

Cheers my brother. Our dads were on the same bowling team.
Add some Cluster Headaches to the mix and oh what fun!
ETA: I will say. My senior year the old man pounced on me in the yard while I was cutting grass to test me. Twisted him up like a pretzel. His day had passed.

My pops was a drunk too, liked to run his mouth to my mom and us kids when he was hammered. As I got older I’d stand up to him and that’s when I realized how sad he really was. He never got physical but always threatened it until I was big enough and called him on it, I was fed up with the threats and the grand standing. He was a bully and an alcoholic but a good man when he wasn’t trashed. Unfortunately, the good man was seldom present.

My dad had some bum tendencies, but never really had a temper. I only remember one time I thought he was going to get violent, but it wasn’t at us.
As a kid we had free reign to bike all over town. I was biking down to my dad’s store. Had to cross a highway near the store and tried to beat a truck. The driver swerved, slammed on the breaks, honked, it created quite a scene. I keep going and look back and the crazy fricker had hopped a median and a ditch and was coming after me in his truck.
I get to the store first, run in the back door, lock it, and hide. My dad had watched the whole thing with a customer from the store.
Crazy fricker starts pounding on the back door. My dad answered it with a gun in his belt and said “you just tried to run down a kid with a truck, what the frick did you think you were going to do if you caught him?”
Fricker booked it with a quickness.

My dads rage cost him his freedom. He's been in prison almost 15 years and will never get out. It's taken me a long time but I have finally made peace with it.

My dad was awesome.
But, I told my mom to “shut up” once.
I never did that again.....

Everytime I ever held a flashlight

I was probably 5 years old and we lived in a very rural area near a bayou on a gravel dead end road. This teenager alway drove his car down there really fast and did donuts and ahit all the time.
I remember my dad laying in wait one day and threw a brick through his driver side window as he passed by. Dead shot.
The pussy just kept going.

You were supposed to shine it at what he was working on, not in his face.

You have taken a bad experience and turned it in to something very good. You should be very proud of yourself and I am happy for you. Very best of luck to you and enjoy those children!

I’m so glad you became a wonderful father. Life’s lessons can be brutal but you made it through magnificently. I hope you share your experiences with your kids so they know how fortunate they are to have you.

My dad, older brother and I were camped out on the lake bank one weekend when a couple guys pulled up to shoot the shite. One of the guys was drunk and pulled my dads cap off his head fricking with him and held it behind his back. My older brother who was 14 at the time snuck behind him and snatched my dads hat out of his hand. The guy just instantly backhanded my brother.
I was about 9 but I remember my dad looking like a blur as he crow hopped into the guy with a right that rolled him into the water of the lake. Dad followed him in and while holding him under in about knee deep water just punching nonstop into the water. I can still see the red/pink tinged water splashing up in the sunlight. Guys friend and my screaming crying brother got my dad to stop. I stood there petrified in shock.

My dad’s punishment was “Hickory Tea” i. e. a switch. If we were acting up he’d go get a switch and put it on the mantle, that was a good enough deterrent to start behaving.
One day the family was riding along an interstate when I started picking on my sister. Dad said something to the effect of “cut it out, or I’ll pull over and give you some hickory tea”. I responded by saying “you can’t stop, the sign back there said ‘Emergency Stopping Only” and he immediately slammed on the brakes, pulled the car over, and gave me a switching.
I was 15 or so riding shotgun with him on an urban freeway in a 1986 Ford Crown Vic. We were in the passing lane when an 18 wheeler came over in front of him. He flew into road rage mode and when he got around that 18 wheeler he cut over in front of it and said “Take the wheel.”
“What?”
“TAKE THE WHEEL GODDAMMIT!”
I guess he had the cruise control set, and I reach over and take the wheel. He leans over the seat so then trucker can see him through our rear window and gives him the double bird.
