22 Things Your Dad Can Do Better Than You

    Dads come equipped with a range of useful abilities. Sadly not all of these are hereditary.

    1. Putting up shelves. It looks easy.

    But somehow it isn't.

    2. In fact, anything involving a drill.

    3. Fixing any kind of car-related problem.

    4. Skimming stones so they bounce more than twice on the water.

    5. Fixing bikes.

    6. Fixing toilets.

    7. Inhabiting a shed / garage and filling it with "dad stuff".

    8. Sleeping on the sofa.

    9. Shouting at the TV.

    10. Re-wiring a plug.

    11. Parking. This is you:

    This is your dad.

    12. Haggling in shops.

    13. Telling dad jokes.

    14. Complaining in restaurants.

    15. Doing accounting properly, like an adult. Because your paperwork still looks like this.

    16. Navigating to any part of the world using a map (without using a satnav).

    17. And knowing how to fold up the map afterwards.

    18. Putting up a tent.

    19. Putting up a tent AND not watching it fly away.

    20. Decorating, including all wallpaper-related activity, which for some reason is harder than it looks.

    21. Gardening. You think: "Oh those flowers look nice." He thinks: "I'll just do some pruning."

    22. Dad dancing.
