Why I hate/strongly dislike/wish I had nothing to do with my dad:
1. Abuses my beagle that we adopted since the hunter in our community abandoned it. He literally hits the dog and threw him down the stairs last week.
2. Is too much of an arrogant, macho ashhole to apologize for anything. Even after the dog incident, he didn't apologize even though I stood up to him for the first time in my life and ran down the stairs cursing at the top of my lungs, giving him the verbal message that one more f-up with my dog and he'll be paying with his life. No apology after that. Then last night I got a haircut, and I hate haircuts, and he "jokingly" made fun of my haircut saying "oh, nice mullet. I mean rat tail, I mean..." blah blah blah. Darn old man pisses me off. Sound like random bs I have nothing to hate my dad over? It isn't.
3. Is so arrogant like I already said and full of himself that he'll talk to random people for literally 15 minutes about NOTHING. I am not exaggerating in the least. We'll be on vacation or something, or leaving a sports game, and he'll talk to random people that just want to go to work or leave to go home. They DON"T care what he has to say, nobody does!
4. Took about 17 years to get through his thick scull that I HATE green peppers on any food, and yet continued to put them on nearly everything we ate. And if it was red peppers, the moron would say, "Oh they're just tomatoes". Ummm, excuse me, I think I know what the f-ck tomatoes taste like you dumb piece of dog crap.
5. We annually take two weeks off in the summer for "vacation". I use the term vacation very loosely here in the fact that not once has anyone other than my dad chosent he location of our vacation, it is always in the most boring part of the U.S. We go to some cool place like Vermont/Maine/Colorado/California and he makes life miserable every time. How is that possible? The jerk drives on dirt roads (literally dirt, no pavement) for hours upon hours, and will drive through farmland/woodland, as if we don't have enough of it back at home. If you know me, you'd know I love the country and open land. But for vaction, is it too much to ask to go someplace fun and different? Money is not an issue, he is president of his business for pete's sake. So why can't we go to someplace like Europe for even just a week? Who knows, my dad has something wrong in his head.
6. We watched The Wicker Man with Nicholas Cage and it was about this guy who goes to this island to find his ex-wife and is instead stranded, and trapped by the locals who are all women, and men are used as their slaves. And he doesn't figure this out, and then it is clear that the women are going to kill him, and they do. It was very sadistic. But a movie nonetheless.
My sister is the one who picked this movie out since none of us had seen it before. Well my dad went beserk, literally, throwing stuff around, cursing at my sister, threatening her, etc. He had it in his danm conspiracy theory Rush Limbaugh mind that my sistesr was some sort of feminist and agreed with the movie and wanted to see all men turned into womens' slaves.
7. When I was 11 or 12, I played rec. basketball and my dad was the coach. Well after one game, my dad was pissed at me and I had no clue why. For God's sake it was just a game. Well he turns around in the car, in front of the rest of the family, and says, "So you are too much of a wimp to actually play hard against Tommy Sullivan? You know you just let him score on you all game don't you?" What the hell am I, an 11 year old supposed to say to something like that?
Then later that night he went on a rampage/rant to my mom about how he had come to raise two wimps and cowards (me and my sister). I never said this at the time, but right now my sports career through highschool was 100 times better than his ever was. I have a state record in track for the 800 meter relay, I made Varsity Lacrosse my sophmore year and Varsity Soccer my sophmore year as well. He would never compare to me athletically. But no I am a female reproductive organ becase I played soccer and not football. (Its not like he even "played" football, he rode the bench).
8. Doesn't want to face the reality that I don't want to be an engineer/logistician and work for him. Doesn't want to face the reality that I don't like geology/macrobiology. I like molecular bio and biochemistry. Is there anything wrong with that? To him there is...
9. Says nothing interesting ever. I'm not being "too harsh" or anything either. Literally everything he says is equally as boring as the "vacations" we go on every year. He'll rant about how some hot movie star that 99.99999% of the American population would LOVE to make love to is really butt ugly and wears the stupidest clothes. Never mind that everyone else thinks she's hot, he is always right.
10. Has one of the best computers at home that most computer geeks would kill for, except what does he use it for and only allow it to be used for?
Microsoft office things, Computer card games, and Medal of Honor Allied Assault. No online games, no internet, nothing fun at all. ALl he does is play solitare on a piece of equipment that costs about $3,000. Does that make sense at all?
11. Hates me to use the internet because just going on the internet will cause his precious computer to contract the latest megavirus. Imagine Paris Hilton lecturing you on this topic, that is what it is like. He doesn't know crap about them, yet tries to pose as an expert, and me with my one highschool computer class knows 1000 times more than him.
12. Fills our lawn with pesticides and fertilizer, never mind the ecological consequences of such actions, he's killing all the weeds!!!!!!!!!!!!! Anyone literally with a basic level biology course could tell you lawns require a natural soil, not one overloaded with fertilizer/pesticides that kill everything in the general area.
13. Bigoted and intolerant of anything slightly liberal. Narrowminded, etc.
14. Purposefully will watch some of his favorite shows such as Antique Roadshow, Law and Order, PBS when my ONE favorite show comes on. Family Guy. I only have one show I request that I can watch and it only comes on once during the week. But no, Mr. Alpha male of the pack always has it his way.
15. Buys Chevy Suburbans like they're bubble gum, but then won't pay for us to have decent internet service. And we have basic TV, ie 5 channel antenna TV.
This is just scratching the surface.
