21 Everyday Situations That Are Guaranteed To Infuriate Every Irish Dad

Father's Day is coming up this Sunday so now is the perfect time to reflect on how much our auld boys do for us.

It's also as good a time as any to laugh at the everyday, run of the mill situations which cause them to completely lose their chill. 

How many is your Da guilty of?

1. Driving too fast

"Slow down..."

2. Driving too slow

"Speed up..."

3. Whenever he loses something 

Glasses/pen/garden shears. Always in the last place he looks.

4. When the TV remote doesn't work

"This shaggin' thing."

"Not now..."

6. Not asking for help

"You should have asked..."
