Just like every human being, all dads are different. They have a unique appearance, behavior, opinion, attitude, style, and so on. Yet somehow, they seem to do the same funny and odd things. Itโs almost as though once a man becomes a father; heโs required to follow in line with the rest of them.
People online have become curious as to why this is. So, to unravel the mystery, theyโve started tweeting to see if they can come up with viable answers. While they mightโve uncovered a few things, the bottom line is that thereโs still no reasoning behind it. As you read over these tweets, youโll understand that sometimes, thereโs just no explanation as to why all dads do certain things.
1. Busted
Probably every kid has heard this at one point or another. You know theyโre sleeping just by the heavy breathing and snoring. We think it comes down to the fact that dads donโt like to admit when theyโre busted.

2. Seeking attention
Isnโt that the truth. Even if they feel the slightest sneeze coming on, itโs as though they have to let the entire world know. To themโฆthe louder the better. Someone needs to explain to them that itโs not very attractive.

3. Shaking things up
Oh, my gosh. I thought my dad was the only one who did this. Do they think thatโll make them taste better? Are they practicing for the roulette table at a casino? Weโll probably never know and that might be a good thing.

4. Keep it short
If this pertained only to older dads, you could blame it on them not being very tech-savvy. But considering even young dads do this, itโs a mystery. They need to just say what they want but keep it short and to the point.

5. Time for a style change
In all fairness, Hard Rock Cafรฉ does have some pretty cool tee shirt designs. On the other hand, so do a lot of other brands. Kids need to take their fathers on a shopping trip to enlighten them.

6. Role reversal
If one of their kids did this, theyโd have a fit. After all, there could be some kind of emergency or perhaps they need something picked up from the store. Not only are they setting a bad example but theyโre making people wonder what theyโre up to.

7. Not so smart
There are a lot of jokes pertaining to men who hate to follow directions while driving. But itโs particularly true when it involves dads. For whatever reason, they think they donโt need a sophisticated device to tell them how to reach their destinationโฆtheyโve got itโฆnot.

8. Out cold in 3, 2, 1
Now, thatโs an excellent question. And the amazing thing is that it usually only takes a matter of seconds. Itโs as though the couch puts some kind of spell on them that they simply canโt resist.

9. Take a seat
This is too funny because itโs spot-on. Youโd think sitting down to watch the news would be far more comfortable. But noโฆthis is the way dads do it and theyโre not going to change.

10. Heโs got you covered
If you ever need a breath mint, just ask your dad for one. After all, his pocket is full of them. You know, the free ones that restaurants give away. In their mind, getting something that doesnโt cost anything, even a mint, is almost as good as winning the lottery.

11. A little picky, are we?
Every dad, regardless of age, does this. Shoot, someone could hand them a $100 pen but no, theyโd much rather use the $2 one they bought at the dollar store. Perhaps theyโre afraid of cooties.

Twitter@sirakttoille
12. Interesting
Come to think of it, they do. What makes this even funnier is when they already have an accent. Maybe they know something we donโt โ like dogs only understand Irish. Itโs just a thought.

Twitter@ShaunSully
13. Practical thinking
We might have to give dads some credit on this one. While this poster is right, at least they ask for things they need. In comparison, moms usually request what they want. Perhaps they could take a lesson from dads.

14. Thatโs no joke
As soon as dads hear the word โgrillingโ or โbarbecue,โ some kind of change comes over them. And when theyโre standing there watching the food cook, itโs best for everyone to stay out of their way. They mean business.

Twitter@misss_jaye
15. So true
You canโt help but laugh at this one because itโs so true. If they just finished a large meal, you could understand. But it happens all the time. Is it a ritual that all fathers do? Who knows, if they fail to grunt, maybe something bad might happen.

Twitter@safesexishosex
16. Why is that?
Okay, we know that men and womenโs bodies are different. But there comes a time when dads need to think of others first. When everyone else in the house is wearing parkas, earmuffs, and gloves, they should take a hint.

17. Thatโs why it takes so long
So, we donโt have an answer as to why dads to this. But now we know why moving their kidโs car to the street or other side of the driveway takes 15 minutes. One mystery solved and 1,000 more to go.

18. Itโs exhausting
Dad jokes are almost always lame. But when they use the same ones in situations that have nothing to do with their jokes, things quickly go from bad to worse. Thatโs the time when you need to look away and pretend you donโt know him.

Twitter@ItsaMeema
19. Stop yelling
Yep, every dad does this. Do they know that means theyโre yelling? Probably not. But even if they did, thereโs a good chance theyโd keep doing it. Come on dads, show some respect when communicating with others.

Twitter@spicy_emma
20. We mean EVERYWHERE
No, thatโs not a giant black spider in the bathtubโฆitโs just one of dadโs socks. The thing is, itโs only the socks. They can get all their other clothes in the hamper (most of the time) yet somehow, the socks are a different story.

21. Change is never a problem
If you need a penny, ask your dad. If you need a nickel, ask your dad. If you need a dime, ask your dad. If you need a quarter, ask your dad. In other words, if you ever need change of any denomination, ask your dad.

22. Showing off
Why canโt dads just pull in forward as most people do? But noโฆthey have to prove to the world that they have a special talent. If they only knewโฆno one cares nor are they impressed. Sorry, Dad.

23. The number one asked question
Unfortunately, we donโt know why. It doesnโt matter what they eat or drink, they always seem to be full of hot air. But the worst part โ theyโre almost always super loud and stinky. You can always distinguish a dad fart from others.

Twitter@femkant
24. Deep in thought
Either this is just a habit among dads or this proves they canโt concentrate on more than one thing at a time. Then again, maybe theyโre onto something the rest of us donโt know about.

Twitter@cimafrancabea
25. Not funny
While we donโt have the answer to this, we can make a recommendation to help them change their ways. When this happens, just pee. You can bet the next time you tell your dad you need to use the restroom; heโll speed up instead of slow down.

Twitter@car0linehamm
26. Buddha belly
Even skinny dads do this and quite frankly, itโs kind of gross. What would dads think if moms went around and did the same thing? Okay, either they wouldnโt even notice or they wouldnโt care. Thatโs the way dads roll.
Source:
Twitter@EmilyKasson
27. Stop answering the phone
This is perhaps one of the strangest things that dads do. Werenโt they taught a simple โhelloโ would suffice? And what does โyelloโ even mean? They need to let someone else take calls. Thatโs all there is to it.
Source:
Twitter@samdeverell
28. Youโre not fooling anyone
Do you know one of the easiest ways to spot a dad? Look for back pockets that are worn or faded in the shape of a wallet. They probably want people to think they have a lot of money when in fact, itโs just filled with worthless paper.
Source:
Twitter@DaSardard
29. So embarrassing
They become giddy around young women, tell cringeworthy jokes, check themselves in mirrors, and more all because of this. Especially at a certain point in life, itโs time for dads to accept their true age and act it.

Twitter@fre5havo
30. Theyโre all so tough
If something tasted bad, theyโd pretend it was fine. We donโt know why but itโs as though they have to prove just how tough they are. Even while in the ER for food poisoning, theyโll blame it on something other than the cheese that expired a month prior.

Twitter@shannon_d_lee
31. Stop blinding the kids
Do dads think this is the best way to test the brightness of their new flashlight? Donโt they realize they could cause permanent damage to their kidโs eyes? We have so many questions on this one but not a single answer.

Twitter@mikapoppin
32. It tastes so good
Surely, all that pepper canโt make the food taste betterโฆcan it? Dads use so much that they donโt even know what dish theyโre eating. But rememberโฆtheyโre tough.

Twitter@Hailmaryfullof
33. Corny lines
Not only are dads the worst at telling jokes but also using corny lines. If youโve ever gone shopping with your dad while growing up, youโve probably heard this line at least 100 times. Maybe they should come up with something newโฆthis oneโs expired.
Source:
Twitter@thedad
34. Wrong perspective
Theyโll tell people this as long as theyโll listen. In their minds, itโs true. But one look at their high school yearbook and you know theyโre living in a fantasy world. This is when you just have to humor your dad.

Twitter@thedad
35. Canโt see you
When kids are little and their dads do this, itโs funny. But now as adults, they think their dads need to be on some kind of medication. Once a child reaches about six, itโs time to put this one to rest.
Source:
Twitter@thedad
36. Stop scaring the kids
Weโre not sure why dads think something like this is funny. In a childโs mind, they think theyโre in trouble. Way to goโฆteach the young ones to be afraid of the police. Stop itโฆjust stop it.
Source:
Twitter@thedad
37. Feeling accomplished
Dads do this. Itโs as though they just achieved something great. Now, they want to stand back and marvel at their work. The only problem is that no oneโs marveling with them.
Source:
Twitter@thedad
38. Not helpful
If thereโs one phrase that all dads say, this would be it. Either they think theyโre being funny or theyโre seriously trying to help. We hope itโs the first option because if itโs the second, thereโs a bigger issue going on.
Source:
Twitter@thedad
39. Not fooling anyone
Dads think this ploy works but as they say it, the kids sitting in the backseat are just rolling their eyes. It mightโve been effective the first few times but now, everyoneโs caught on. Okay dads, you need to give it up. Theyโre onto you.

Twitter@thedad
40. So thatโs what theyโre doing
The next time you see a guy driving next to you playing air drums and pounding on the steering wheel, you can assume itโs just a dad listening to Phil Collins. All these years people were confused. At least we have a second answer to all the crazy questions.
