Is your ego cashing cheques your body can't cash, by any chance?

writing cheques

What would happen if the cheque bounces :P

You'll also know what cretin means, OP?

People are strange, just laugh it off. Or move / stay away from your dad ? It doesn't sound like an easy relationship.

Aah I remember when I knew everything, and thought euphemism was a big word.

Moraliser. The best you can do is say the things you're expected to say. As usual, I can predict every word out of your mouth.

You wouldn't understand the relationship me and my dad have. I'll call him out on bull****. I'm not just going to let him win because he's old. Yes, many would let him win - but would they're thoughts actually be influenced by what he said? At least he knows where he stands with me.

You can come by to moralise, or you can put your ego aside & admit that you've learned something from me. After all, it's all anonymous here.

You seem to think that labelling someone a moraliser gives you license to forgo morals yourself... How exactly?

As for predicting what i am going to say, well that would be more believable if you actually did it before the fact.. But it may come as a surprise that you are in fact the most predictable poster on the thread.

Also what do you think you have taught me?

I get the impression that neither you nor your sister are the sharpest tools in the shed, and rather prone to being a proper pain in the hole. My educated and experienced guess here would be that your father just wants the two of ye to shut up, and isn't particularly interested in whether you're right or not.

It's good that you understand what appeasement means. I suggest checking out the definitions of "respect" and "submission". It may surprise you to learn that they are not the same thing.

He looked at me as if he didn't know what I meant, and said "what?" I felt like saying "I know you know what appeasement means!" Perhaps he just wasn't expecting me to say that at that moment, but he certainly acted like he didn't get the point I made.

You've probably misinterpreted his reaction. He really doesn't know or give a s.hite about what you were fighting over. At this hour of his life he has two listen to you two squabbling.

I'd say he has an awful pain in the b0llix, tbf.

I can imagine the father's parallel plea to the sister:
"I don't want that kind of stuff happening in future - look you know your brother is a blowhard and always needs to be right, it's really not a big deal now is it?"

Everyone has respect for their elders by default. It doesn't t take courage to submit. That sort of attitude played a part in why the priests abused so many children.

And you wouldn't understand the relationship me and my dad have. I'll call him out on bull****. I'm not just going to let him win because he's old. Yes, many would let him win - but would they're thoughts actually be influenced by what he said? At least he knows where he stands with me.

Now you can come by to moralise & enjoy the likes your post will get, or you can put your ego aside & admit that you've learned something from me. After all, it's all anonymous here.

Well, I read the whole post (it's a sh.itty boring thursday), and the crux of it is that the teenage OP and his sister were squabbling over fcuk knows what. Dad hates this s.hite and sort of sided with his daughter, probably because she squawks louder than the OP if she feels wronged. So OP used the word 'appease' and thinks his dad acted like he didn't understand the word. OP also feels he has out smarted his father, I think.

I apologize if my interpretation was worse than trying to get through the original post. I thought I could slim down the story a bit, but fcuk me... It's like listening to my teenagers fighting. You just mentally leave the room.

You weren't meant to take it literally! I mean I know the things your kind say. I'd probably end up saying the exact same type of stuff if I were to try take you off. And yet u act as if I haven't heard it before by saying something a "life lesson"! So what is it you think u've taught me?

Nothing in their I really disagree with. But if look deep enough beneath the bull****, you'll find the gold.

We're actually not teenagers. We're in out 20s and we never got along. The story is merely an example, which people kind of got distracted by.

He only found out about it because she told him. During our brief argument, I ended up having the last word, so she had to take her frustration with someone.

Some day you will stop thinking you're smart and no longer be a smart arse.

Sorry, but that's even worse. If you could try to see this from your Father's perspective.. you two should have grown out of all of that by now. He probably fears he will still have you both in the house as forty year olds, still fighting at this rate.

"You better fix that fcuking dry-wall" :pac:

Maybe your father wasn't playing dumb. I don't know the poor man, maybe he was just dumbfounded.

I, and everyone else here for that matter, have taught you nothing, and that is the crux of your issue.
See all these derisory responses to what you say? Get used to those.

something very trivial. And to be honest, I didn't even realise it was a fight.

What happened was, the milk was on the table as she and mom were having tea. It was about to go sour. I realised she'd forget to put it back (as she always does), so I went to take it. I took the cork off to sniff it as I was putting it in the fridge. She then stopped me saying "you've a thing about the milk". I said "u've a thing about leaving it out"! She then said "we're using that for the tea now, come on now" even though they no longer needed it! She thought I'd have to put it back, but instead I got a jug and put some milk in the jug instead.

She didn't see that one coming!
