TPB X thread

The Dad didn’t clog the toilet in the basement bathroom and then not tell his son for 3 days.



Or maybe that’s just me with a Dad from Valentine
I'm just planning on walking around and randomly breaking things with no rhyme or reason. And they know it's coming because I've been promising them I'd do it for over a decade. Even my daughter agrees.

my parents were here 2 weeks ago and my Dad watched all the NFL games without his hearing aids to quote "give them a vacation"


volume on the TV was on like 75, you could clearly hear it throughout the house so it felt like I was at a real game with the PA announcer announcing a 3 yard carry while I went to the bathroom




PS: now my 2 year old son asks to "watch TV like Grandpa" (AKA loud as shit) my wife and I are never gonna recover from this

I "hear" ya. My Dad is also really hard of hearing (thanks, US Army, as he was an artillery Sergeant) and he also watches TV at deafening volume levels. Normally, we can "mute" things or lower it down to a reasonable volume and just go with closed caption so he can follow along with the programming when he forgets his hearing aids or "the damn things aren't working again" (Dad - did you charge them? Him: I think so ... maybe not), but cc just sucks bigly on live sporting events due to the 10 second latency for the text-to-speech transcription.

Also, I'm not super-critical of this stuff when it happens any more because ... my hearing ain't what it used to be. Lots of machinery, gunfire and rock music to blame, but really it's my fault for not taking better precautions or using better judgment (thanks again, booze) during my younger daze.
