Gave me my first shotgun, a Winchester model 42 .410 and wouldn't let me use anything else to bird hunt with. Took me 3 years to learn how to hunt properly with it.

We were moving houses and my dad had a mattress in the bed of the truck that blew out the bed a couple times. So after the second time, he looked at me and said, “you’re gonna have to lay on it.” Keep in mind I was about 10 years old and maybe 65-70 lbs soaking wet. I looked at him and said, “it’s gonna blow me away too!”That’s when my dad just looked at me with a straight face and said, “Son, you can’t be a p***y all your life.” I feel like I became a man that day.

I did.
There aren't many good ones left to choose from though. They are all spoiled emotional assholes.

On way home when I was about 5 yrs old I got mad at my dad over something and yelled I’ll just walk home. (Had no idea how to get home). He said ok and pulled over and I got out started walking like I knew where I was going. I think it shocked him so he decided to “scare” me and drove off a few hundred yards but it didn’t phase me I just kept waking. He finally came back told me to get my arse in the truck

My dad never let me make any "special orders" at restaurants. Particularly fast food places. You either ate it how it came on the menu, or scraped off whatever condiment, sauce, topping, side, etc you did not like.

Dad: "What do you want?"
Me: "Cheesburger, but tell them no mayo and no pickles"
Dad: "I don't have time for all that shite. Just take it off if you don't like it."

Moral of the story: I learned to like a lot of foods I otherwise probably would not have tried.

My father fixed all our cars but would never pay for a tow truck when one of our cars broke down. His van was the tow truck and I'd always be in the car being pulled by a rope with about 10-15 feet of slack. I'd basically grab the steering wheel with a death grip, stare at the van tailights and make the whole drive with slight pressure on the brake praying that he didn't have to stop unexpectedly or I'd run into the back of the van.

That van was pretty handy for other crazy stuff. We also used it to get the A/C condenser unit on to the flat roof over the garage. Somehow we muscled it from the ground to get it on top of the van, then we'd get it from the van onto the roof.

That was my Dad. Now he always does special orders and I always give him crap for it.

ETA: I usually give him the George Carlin line, "Fussy eater. Euphemism for big pain in the arse"

He was an avid outdoorsman and we made many freezing duck hunts/fishing trips with terrible clothing and no doubt someone would fall in the lake.


To this day cold weather doesn’t bother me because my dad would make me sit in freezing weather for 2 hours after I fell in the water because he wasn’t gonna have a good hunt ruined. Had some great hunts though, still remember an extremely cold one where all rice fields were frozen solid and we found an open hole full of ducks. He had just gotten me my first shotgun, a single shot .410. They only had bismuth shells for ducks in .410 which were about 35 dollars a box which was very expensive in the mid 90s. He got me one box, said you better make the shots count. We laid in 2 separate pirogues covered in wet rice stalks and murdered them that day. I killed 2 limits with that one box

My dad used to send me into Dorignacs to buy a case of beer. I started doing this around 11yrs old.

He also fell into the pool once while blowing the backyard. Somehow it was my fault for not trimming the trees.

I was working full time in the summer once I turned 13.
