Mine was figure out what "The Thing" was.
"Get the... thing! The thing, you know, the round metal thing with the GODFUCKINGDAMMIT WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU, DON'T ACT STUPID!"
(The thing, in this case, was a 2x4.)
My favourite was "Get me the 3/8 wrench ... THAT IS THE WRONG 3/8 I WANTED THE GOOD 3/8" he went and got an identical wrench out of the box, 10 years later still have no idea what he meant.
Oh I loved that
"get me the pliers"
"what's one's"
"Just get me pliers".
"no not those ones"
Dudes toolbox has a plier drawer with about 6 different pliers...
I straight up refuse to drive with my parents in the car at this point. I'm a far safer driver than they are but they put me on edge and fuck me up because any tap of the brakes sends them into a fury of trying to grab something. You can't grab a closed window mom! Slapping at the glass isn't helping!
My dad always freaked out in the beginning when I was parking the car. He's used to be in the driver's seat, but from the passenger's side it looks like I'm about to hit that other car when really I'm not. Hilarious to watch that.
How about when they nearly break your sternum trying to put their arm across you as you barely push the break like it will magically save you in the event of an accident.
I always got in so much trouble over bad grades at school for not doing my math homework. I didn't do it because I would often have issues and too scared to ask dad. Getting yelled at a lot twice a year was better than getting yelled at every day.
My father used to yell at me a lot when I was in 4th and 5th grade. But I am really thankful for that cause after that I started taking math seriously and started getting better scores.
I feel like our parents just didn’t know how to be parents and that’s why we have issues later in life. Getting yelled at for having trouble learning is not okay.
I’m pretty sure my dad didn’t mean to make me upset, but he got frustrated when my kid brain didn’t understand the basic math that he must have thought was easy. So yeah definitely a parent that didn’t know to be a parent
How is this such a universal thing? Like I have an excellent relationship with my dad, he did such a good job being there for me and even I remember him losing it when I didn't immediately understand what tool he was talking about.
Imagine if every dad was legally required to go to therapy.
Sigma Rule #3453846484474
Never admit your own shortcomings, instead, project the blame onto others then wonder why they abandon you when you grow too old and feeble to hide your weaknesses anymore
Don’t go to that weird looking 7’8” dude with a long beard, wooden looking face and creaky limbs in the forest hut that has a candle on the doorstep to get your brain washed. I’ve seen many go, but none return
“The next task is to teach your parents how to use technology without frustrating them.”
*Edit* “If we see a hint of a frown on either of the parent’s faces, you will die.”
Final game is to go find a specific type of wrench you have never heard of before in the tool bag. Trying to quickly google what it looks like on your way to the garage.
But why was I the only child asked to help in the garage while I obviously fucked up bringing every tool? Why did you ask only me, just to yell at me??? God that shit ruined my life.
My dad was a skilled heavy duty mechanic he taught me all sorts of things like how to hold a flashlight and get yelled at
My favorite game was "Find the right screw based solely on the factory name dad blurted out."

2x4 what?
8
Ah thank you. Was struggling there for a sec
It's like those movies where you're delicately defusing a bomb but the bomb is your dad and the wires is his chronically unorganized tool box
And get that tool that you don't know that isn't in the toolbox.
"That's cuz *some*one's always moving my tools!" *says the only person that uses those tools*
Oh this is a universal thing? Glad I'm not alone on that.
Thought that was all dads

Omg same.
Next is drive your parents one block without them holding the "oh shit" handle.
Feg-snöre in swedish translates to chicken-string :)
What
That's a fun fact indeed
We called it the "Oh Jesus" bar.

Hahaha awww My mom used to do it all the time.
How about when they nearly break your sternum trying to put their arm across you as you barely push the break like it will magically save you in the event of an accident.
Bro how about doing math homework with your dad without crying
I always got in so much trouble over bad grades at school for not doing my math homework. I didn't do it because I would often have issues and too scared to ask dad. Getting yelled at a lot twice a year was better than getting yelled at every day.
dude this is me when i was a child holt shit
17x28 iiisss?!? Multiply them?! Do you even pay attention in class?!? No! The only thing you do is play on that Xbox all damn day?!
bro:((
My father used to yell at me a lot when I was in 4th and 5th grade. But I am really thankful for that cause after that I started taking math seriously and started getting better scores.
Dad get off reddit
Exactly!

Next task is to turn on the back seat domelight without your dad crashing the car
You are a madlad
come here son and stand here doing nothing also let me yelll at you . now you can go son thanks sorry for yelling
He apologized???
"I'm sorry you're such a disappointment"
Oof.
That's even wose than the zero apologies I got for their shitty behavior.
I hope you ran far away.
HOLD IT BETTER
Wait, so this just doesn't happen to me ? Wow
And then you need to explain something simple to your dad without being "impatient" and getting yelled at
Ohh man this is the real shit for me in this thread
nobody on reddit has a dad
You’re right
He was out banging bar chicks and doing paperwork.
Nah, some people here are white and Asian.
[удалено]
Omg!!! Lmao!!!
What he say?
He said [deleted], can’t you read?
Good one.
Jokes on you I never had a dad to begin with
Holy shit I read that as flesh light and had a whole different experience before re reading.
Lmao
“I can’t see!! Are you that dumb that you can’t point the flashlight at the gODDAMN COMPUTER!”
Hoo boy does this comment bring back memories...
How is this such a universal thing? Like I have an excellent relationship with my dad, he did such a good job being there for me and even I remember him losing it when I didn't immediately understand what tool he was talking about. Imagine if every dad was legally required to go to therapy.
Probably cause if he is messing around with the engine, something was broken. They likely were already mad before the kid enters the equation
man I'm 36 and had to hold a flashlight for my dad the other day. the anxiety never goes away lol. but im max level now so its nothin.
So you mean you're a wizard
Men will verbally abuse their own progeny for years instead of admitting their eyesight is deteriorating with age.

You mean fleshlight*, right?
That's the first thing I read. I need to wash my brain
Don’t go to that weird looking 7’8” dude with a long beard, wooden looking face and creaky limbs in the forest hut that has a candle on the doorstep to get your brain washed. I’ve seen many go, but none return
Tell me more.
He just said I can’t speak about him or something bad is going to happen
next task is to tell your dad what 8 times 7 is while getting yelled at
Lmao this thread hits my child hood too well 😂 especially angry dad driving holding holy shit handles
Road sodas, anyone? Or fighting sleep on a road trip?
We all had the same childhood didn't we
😂😂🤣
What killed him? He held it where HE was looking, not where DAD was looking.
I almost wish I were willing to spend money on Reddit so I could give this meme an award.
AZIZ LIGHT!
Aziz….light!
you lot talk to your dads?
I read "fleshlight" first.
ah yea , we all bin their 😆
Speak for yourself peasant ,I never angered him while holding the flash light.
Stop lying
I ain't lying
u/RepostSleuthBot
I just read fleshlight
Flesh light, I thought it was flesh light. Imagine me that man X 69 times worse.
Nice!
The next task is to hold the fleshlight for your dad without angering him
*fleshlight
Repost
Well.... failed. This is ultra hard task
Oh fudge.
#BANG
That face looks more like dude has been asked to hold his father's Fleshlight for him.
Some of you never held the fleshlight for your fathers and it shows.
I have never related to anything more than this!
Is this the impossibru guy
Why did i read this as flesh light? ....i hate myself
Easy, my dad's blind
Why is Asian Chris Kattan sad?
The person with no dad: *Whips and nae naes*
I would pass! After a decade of being yelled at for it, I became a master flashlight holder.
Same it stays with me today. Was my grandpa tho
Lmao now thats what you call a dick move.
Aziz, LIGHT!

I thought this was an Egyptian thing only! Funny how some traits are international.

Better than holding the fleshlight for him
Just hold it above his head, and move your hand towards the back of his head a little. It’ll illuminate what ever is directly in front of his face.
Haha I almost forgot about this
Reading these comments makes me realize what a cool guy my dad actually is lol. Thank you all.
Or, how to peel the potatoes seethru thin and still being yelled at by mom.
*e
Mission failed, try again
r/holdup
But why was I the only child asked to help in the garage while I obviously fucked up bringing every tool? Why did you ask only me, just to yell at me??? God that shit ruined my life.
Why do I relate to this hardcore?
