Talking Wog dads - you gotta love them!

I was working with my father this morning. There were a few plastic bottles in the rain gutter some tenants kids threw on the roof. As we did not bring a ladder and the property is only one storey, I improvised by using one of the rubbish bins. Positioned it and ensured that it was on firm ground. Climbed on top of the bin and removed the rubbish. Then as I was coming down, the bin rotated on the wheels and I went down like a bag of spuds. As I lay groaning on the ground my father says to me "at least you didn't break the window".

WTF! Seriously? Where is the "are you OK son"?



Anybody else have similar experiences?

Retire the bin. Fill it with grapes and jump in and stomp them.

Yep my old man is the same (I pay cash).

I fell off the garage roof when young, right onto the tomato garden and had a timber stake puncture my lower chin, he ran to picked up the damaged tomatoes.

A new one. My father ended up in hospital this week and was diagnosed with atrial fibrillation. Thursday morning he looked very unwell and we measured a resting heart rate of 150 beats per minute. Apparently he was up all night struggling to breath and collapsed a few times when he tried to walk around the house. I asked him "why didn't you call 000"? To which he responded "what will the neighbours think"? WTF? You're health is more important than the local gossip! But to the wogs reputation is everything and you don't show your frailties or vulnerabilities as these as regarded as signs of weakness.

Thankfully he is still with us.

Classic wog dad, you got lucky there.

Mine won't see a Dr until he is on his death bed.

We got lucky when the blood test method for checking the prostate came in effect. He was willing to die rather than having a Dr's finger up there.

My best friend growing up was from Spanish background and his dad was a top bloke. Always felt at home there.

My grandparents came here from Hungary on mum's side. My mum and her sister lived in a shed until our pop built a double brick house in Queanbeyan.

So I will always have that part of me but I think I'm more bogan. I don't really know my dad's history but it would be definitely one of the home nations.

Always use a ladder.

There are many crippled and dead people that didn’t.

Geeze... where do I start.....

"3rd gear in the automatico is for the freeway only, if you get to 3rd you are driving too fast".

"Jason, find me a goats for the backyard to eating the grass down. What? They want $170, they used to be $30".

"Hello Mr Jason's dad says the NRMA person (after attending due to flat battery) - your car battery is 14 years old!" He replies "Very good, it cost me $59, sell me anothawon the exactly same as my old one".

"Dad, your rear tyres are almost bald". His reply "Whadayatalkingabout - they still have rubber! Will new ones make the car go faster?"

"What the bloodyhell you doing!! Minkya, you were meant to give away to the right at the round a bowt".

The fuzz pull my dad over "Hello mr Jason's dad, it appears your tow ball is covering your number plate, I will need to give you a warning". He smartly replies "Whats wrong with you - I been driving like that 20 ears... no pr1k eva stopped me before.. how old you are anyway"?

Police officer proceeds to write up a ticked for several hundred dollars for bald tyres, frayed seat belt, blown headlight, obstructed plate....

Dad arranged to buy a ride on lawn mower from a place that opens at 7:30am. Apparently told the shop owner to "Come early because I gottooa taken the kids to school afta".
We get there 6:30am... wait in the car till 7:25 when the guy shows up. Dad blows his stack that he didn't come early - guy replies - yes I did, 5 min early! Of course, do you think dad ever bloody specified a time frame as to what early is?

25 years ago he pulled my old pair of Colorado boots out of the bin. Still wears them to this day in the garden...

Dad was cutting up some steel with the grinder - (guard removed of course). Slices his finger to the bone - blood going everywhere. "Hey Jason, get me a tissue and a bandaid, and don't tel your blo0dymudda".

God more will come to me....

My grandpa (not a wog) had similar traits i remember when i was a young kid. He died 20 years ago. He was red green colourblind so a salad made from things from his garden often consisted of green tomatoes. He would get up us grandkids for not eating his tomatoes. Because red arrows at traffic lights werent a thing when he learnt to drive, he refused to acknowledge them. My dad, as a child, found out a day after his pet chicken went missing, the night before his family invited guests over for a roast chicken dinner, turns out my grandpa accidentally reversed over the chicken in the kingswood. Although the best story is one my aunty tells. I know the laws are different these days, but in the 80s you could drink whilst driving provided you didnt get drunk whilst driving. My grandpa was driving, my brother who was 4 at the time sitting in the middle (bench seated kingswood) and my aunty in the passengers seat. Grandpa cracks a beer and my aunty gets up him. True form, my grandpa looks to my brother and says 'hold this for me'.

My father,75 years of age,and of southern Italian origin,(although, unlike my late grandfather not a member of the Calabrian Mafia) was out in the back yard shed/ammo factory at around midnight cleaning and polishing his latest shotgun purchase(he now owns 5 shotguns and one rifle in total) when a possum made the mistake of heading for my fathers veggie patch for a bit of a late night snack.I dont need to tell you what happened next,but i will tell you that the possum went away hungry at a very rapid rate,and was very very lucky that my father's night vision is not what it used to be!

My mum is a Danish wog and after I got married at times my wife would say what is that word and I was like hey ! and have to explain what it meant, I did not know that it was not English.

My mum would always hold it flat taking off and drive fast, my wife never let her drive with our kids in the car ever.
Mum wanted to drive my HG 253 Premier up to the shop one day, she took off flat out and then must of said how well my car went to dad and my dad was adamant that I was never to let her drive my car again. I never seen her drive his 1971 LTD Galaxie ever and all his other cars were all manuals. she never smashed any of her cars but we were run off the highway once with my deputy school principle overtaking 3 cars, she avoided that head on with that moron and missed guide post and all. I knew his car and seen his stupid face.

I let mum ride my motor bike back in 1975 just around the vacant blocks she took off and the front wheel went straight into a old lobby hole that I had dug, and over she went bark off her everywhere and claimed it was my fault and she was just talking about that about 3 months ago. and my dad warned me to never let her ride my bike again back then.

You are looking for the "I wish I didn't do that" thread as you clearly missed the point.

No. Money was invented so I could pay other people to leave the ground for me.

And ladders were invented for a purpose.

I had a wog stepfather (Worldly Oriental Gentleman - to all you's!)

Fed me rabbit - he said it was chicken. I stopped at one bite, said it was off and walked off.

He did care when I hurt myself though.

I used my sturdy ladder only yesterday too. He's been gone for some years now.
