Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire What did you do to really Piss off Dad....

Which time?

I would count you as one of the few people in this world that I could sit down at a table laden with raw onions, eat for hours and come away saying I enjoyed the experience.

Either wrecking his pickup or screwing up something on the farm. Both had explosive results. I have an amazing father. I now appreciate the tough love moments from my youth.
I'm sorry to hear of some of the bad fathers that some of you endured. Good fathers is the missing ingredient in our society right now.

When I was around 13 I shot a fox with a NIB pre-'64 Winchester 70 in 257 Roberts. It was the only rifle that I could find ammo for, so it was the rifle that I used. He was very pissed, but the following saturday we went to The Green Store in North Haverhill, NH, and left with a Remington 788 in 22-250 with a 6x Redfield scope and mounts. I shot that rifle for a couple years, then traded it toward a more practical Remington 660 in 222.

Had a great upbringing from 2 fine parents.

That's not to say, we 3 boys didn't get into trouble & face the fair consequences.

I think, the angriest I made him, was when I was about 14 & we were camping for the holidays.

He was sitting in a lawn chair, on the beach drinking a cold beer, as I came up from the boat, feeling cocky about the 2 nice spotted mackeral (I thing you guys call them spanish macks) I'd caught.

When he asked me, how the fishing was, I slapped him in the side of the head, with 1 of the fish & said, "how'd you think" !!

That didn't end well !

But I'm smilin like heck, reliving the story.

My thoughts exactly, especially the bastard dads.

All kids, especially boys, do stupid shít, but I’m amazed by some of the dad responses.

Damn.




P

It made me a better person I think. I done everything I can not to be him. I never spanked/whipped my daughter or two step sons. I never borrowed money from anyone, well my buddy did spot $20 bucks one time. Never been on government assistance, never had eviction notices. Always had money for food, gas etc. I had a very successful career in the Army etc. I strived not to be my dad, I think I done an ok job. One step-son is an engineer the other step-son works as a drafter. My daughter just got accepted into UAA/ISU pharmacy program. I owe majority of this to my very patient wife helping me along the way.

The older I get the smarter my dad gets.

It's funny - I was always very close to my grandfather, my dad's dad. Now that my dad's getting to the age I remember my grand father being - I've noticed similarities. I'll often call my dad by his dad's name. He gets agitated but it's a huge compliment - he's learning that....

That should be a fortune cookie:)

Did that happen in August in the north end of the Central Valley?

I might be pissed too

I'd give him a pass for putting some leather belt stripes on you for that one.

My first car was a lifted bronco II on bald mud tires. Had a drivers license for all of 2 months. Summer was over and it had just rained for the first time. I got a big talk about how the roads are goona be slick...yadayada whatever. 5 miles later I try an turn off the highway at 60mph and slide through a ditch and into a field. Call dad up and he had some opinions, thats for sure. While waiting for him to come pull me out, the cops showed up. Seen I was just a dumb kid and didnt wreck anything but my own crap so they left. I woulda paid money for them to hang out until dad got there. He was so mad he couldnt even talk

When I was about 13 I got sent to my room for a belting. I stuffed c9mic books down my pants before he got there. He came in and gave me three or four whacks and stopped and asked me wth? That pissed him off even more, and I had erroneosly thought he'd have a sense of humor about it. Boy, was I wrong! Got it without pants, and got it good.

My stepdad was a religious azzhole snd thumped on me often. I was also a small sized kid. He was mad about something and came at me and i figured a 35 yard field goal attempt with his nuts was a good idea.

Mom finally got off her azz to do something, got between us. He never touched me again.

Hes been gone a decade. Good riddance hypoc
rite fuggin dweeb.

Told my grandma when I was 6 i didnt like the bastard. Proly used that word too.

Me and grammy were cool. She did switch me for catching a humming bird in butterfly net when i was in kindergarten. That about it from her.

I didn't get in a lot of trouble but I learned early on via one of the old style military belts that when my dad said you can do anything you want if you don't get caught. He meant you better not get caught.

Ballsy, lol.

You deserved what you got and you deserve the right to look back on it and laugh.

Nothing.
Why would anyone deliberately do something to make their Dad or Mom for that sake mad at you?
Always wanted them to be proud not pissed but that's just me I guess.

I think the most intense beating I ever got was when we were at a camper dealership outside of town and I stuck my tongue out at the owner. I don't remember who told my dad but when I got home I got the belt.

Dad was very strict and never swore. I've been swearing since 2nd grade of Catholic school. He was a much better man than I.

LOL

My dad would say "every time you turn the lights on, it costs a nickle!". So I'd go over to a light switch and flick it on and off saying "5, 10, 15, 20, 25..." lol! The sound of his belt going through the belt loops on his jeans got my attention!
