Anyone else have a Dad who makes everything a pissing contest?

[HEyHEY]

Don't get me wrong I love my Dad and he's a great guy, but I'm in the door for like ten minutes and he's pushing my buttons.

Anyone else?

1. Actually the other way around for me...

I have a habit of pushing my Dad's buttons because it's way too easy. He usually takes it in stride though.

2. My dad's

a Rush-listening dick who I've given up trying to talk to on any intellectual level--does that count?

3. Yes it could

My dad's just a real high strung guy, like if we wait more than five minutes for a bill in a restaurant he's all wired about it, what gets me the most pissed is that I used to be like him, but now I've mellowed, and I hate it cause he gets me in that mood again with his picking.

5. Another Type A... just what the world needs

Make sure he gets his BP checked often.

Seriously

"but now I've mellowed" you've just added years to your life

I'm taliking quality & quantity.

Cheers..:)

4. My Dad used to drive me crazy

He had to outdo you medically in everything. I would say something just innocently, like "Do you know where the asprin is? I have a headache." His answer would be something like "If your head hurts anything like my back, I feel sorry for you." Never an answer, just a comparison to how he could outdo me pain wise. Grrrr... I laugh at it now though. He died 14 years ago.

6. My 16 year old does it to me...

Or he tries to.

It pisses him off when he doesn't succeed.
