“I hope you just turned around and went home because that was it for dad, I can promise you that,” one user commented. Others chimed in with what their own dads would do in the scenario.

“My dad would greet him by pumping his shotgun,” one user commented.

Another said their dad would purposefully make the man feel more awkward by refusing to talk to him. “He loves making awkward situations more awkward,” the user commented.

Some women shared that if they saw their partners speaking about their father in the same way, they would leave. 

“He ain’t the one sis!!” one user commented.

Others shared that they also talked in a similar way and it was just part of “being a guy.”
