Best Price! Your Room Looks like a Bombs Gone Off! and Other Dad Rants

If you’ve ever lived in the same house as a dad, you’ll know he views his main role as a cross-between an efficiency consultant and a whinging old man.

No subject is too trivial to trigger a grumpy rant, because there’s Dad’s way or the highway. He’ll sarcastically nit-pick everything from neglected light bulbs and the carefree use of toilet paper to dishwasher abuse and untidiness in all its forms.

He likes to keep a tight ship, he hates wastefulness, he’s a massive pain in the butt. The house may be sinking, but it isn’t a ship and it certainly shouldn’t be tight and he may be petty, but he’s no officer. In fact, the only thing he can run is everybody ragged.
