I spent much of my childhood cowering in the garage.
My dad would be working on something.

He would say something like "Go in the garage and get me the #4 Cornscrub wrench with the Beezil handle".

I would say "where is it"?

He would say "Next to the grease copitulator blah blah blah"

So I would go in the garage and wait for him to come back and yell at me because I had no fucking idea what he was talking about.

When he makes a successful catch, all his little rat bastard friends go into a fucking frenzy ooook! oooook!

13. Hey, your dad sounds like both of my parents
I spent many weekends as a child having my stupid ass mom scream at my while she checked to see if the toilets had any operational problems.
"IS IT (downstairs toilet) RUNNING!?!?"
(What should've been said)"I don't know you stupid fuckin' bitch, I'm 9."

When I became a teen my dad thought that behaving like R. Lee Ermey in Full Metal Jacket was a proper way to rear and teach his sons.
"HEY YOU HAND MY A FUCKING RATCHET!"
"WHAT'S THAT"
"YOU DON'T KNOW WHAT A FUCKING RATCHET IS?!?!"
(What should've been said)"No, they don't exactly teach that stuff in the 7th grade."
