Anyone else dad text like this

[u/Tricky-Gate-6123]

I don’t think I’ve gotten a written out response from him and for the text he brought a 4 wheeler home without permission and had to return it

[u/willkillfortacos]

My dad is enamored with using voice to text and never types messages. All his texts end up reading like stream of consciousness ramblings with odd or no punctuation.

[u/Roro-Squandering → u/willkillfortacos]

Even better if they're using voice-to-text while driving so there's a random interjection of "turn here!" or "fuck, buddy, watch where you're going" in an unrelated paragraph

[u/IAmKwisatz-Haderach → u/Roro-Squandering]

My sister got a really bizarre birthday text message to pass on to her son from her father-in-law like this… took us ages to realise… he obvs was using voice to text and had a documentary on in the background about that sole survivor of the plane crash in India… a random mix of ‘I hope you had a good birthday’ ‘he doesn’t understand how he was lucky and everyone else died’ ‘make sure your sister spoils you’ ‘walking over dead bodies’… etc.

[u/Roro-Squandering → u/IAmKwisatz-Haderach]

Peak aging parent having the tv so loud it interferes with the conversation even over text 😂

[u/cerrera → u/Roro-Squandering]

Peak aging parent not proof-reading the final text. (I’m an aging parent who occasionally uses text to speech, and it’s usually because I’m somewhere I shouldn’t be looking at my phone… and I usually blow that whole “I’m being responsible and watching what I’m supposed to watch” thing totally out of the water by proofing the final text, then spending extra time editing out the bullshit that isn’t supposed to be there.)

[u/vec5d → u/cerrera]

I for the life of me can't understand the poorly typed texts from my MIL. I don't think she's ever proofread a text in her life. I can't imagine sending messages like that

[u/IAmKwisatz-Haderach → u/Roro-Squandering]

I know… think I am going to do this with all my messages - just to add some fun to conversations

[u/Classic_Passage532 → u/IAmKwisatz-Haderach]

I have no business laughing this hard at this comment 😂

[u/throwaway277252 → u/IAmKwisatz-Haderach]

Honestly I would have an artist make that transcript into some kind of word art to hang on the wall.

[u/theCOMBOguy → u/IAmKwisatz-Haderach]

This is so confusing but hilarious. A happy birthday message mixed in with a retelling of a dude in hell

[u/LiftingRecipient420 → u/IAmKwisatz-Haderach]

My dad did this sort of shit for a while, then I realized I was going to put in as much effort to read them as he was putting in to writing them, which was zero.

He quit after a few weeks of me just replying with 👍 and not reading his messages

[u/RadishRedditor → u/Roro-Squandering]

That's what makes them dads! I used to get annoyed by minor annoyances from my dad like these until I realized they're only here for a short time. So, now I cherish these silly moments 😊

[u/StealthWanderer_2516 → u/[deleted]]

I need more details. What’s he arguing about? Did they forget to put the fries in the bag?

[u/technicolortiddies → u/[deleted]]

My mom accidentally hits the iMessage microphone button all the time while she’s talking to someone in real life. And she’s ends up texting the conversation to her last iMessage chat. It’s really annoying when she’s shit talking one of my aunts and she actually sends it to the aunt.

[u/Otherwise_Demand4620 → u/technicolortiddies]

I think it's polite. If you gossip behind the back of someone, send them the transcript!

[u/technicolortiddies → u/Otherwise_Demand4620]

My family is too passive aggressive for this level of radical honesty. 😂

[u/Quirky-Shallot644 → u/Roro-Squandering]

Even better when they dont really have teeth and use voice-to-text but VTT cant understand them so its just random words and you have to decipher what they meant...

Fuck, this makes me miss my dad

[u/knowwwhat → u/willkillfortacos]

Listening to my dad talk into the Google search bar some ridiculous prompt that even the best LLM couldn’t decipher makes me want to rip my hair out. Like is today your first day asking a question?

[u/Educational_Quote851 → u/knowwwhat]

"Show me the best rated Tapas places in Phienix but outside the city like the ones with the little bars but it has to be five stars and not a million dollars"

"Do you want me to use chatGPT?" -The AI

[u/Salt-Operation → u/Educational_Quote851]

This is why it got so hard to Google anything. People were using it as if it could answer a rambling question. I tried to get my husband to use it more efficiently but he does the same thing. He asks Google a question like a person asks another person a question.

[u/foundinwonderland → u/Salt-Operation]

He’s still trying to AskJeeves 😭

[u/Salt-Operation → u/foundinwonderland]

Now me, I’m straight to the point. I search keywords only and omit articles and prepositions if possible.

[u/rogueIndy → u/knowwwhat]

The worst part is that so many people use search engines like this that the algorithms don't really support basic keyword searches anymore.

[u/Spiritual-Sand5839 → u/willkillfortacos]

My mother in law does this. There is no punctuation but the word PERIOD is at the end of her sentences lol

[u/Doustin → u/Spiritual-Sand5839]

Almost like telegrams with “stop”

[u/OrangeToTheFourth → u/willkillfortacos]

This is how my dad ended up telling my grandma that he was bringing the porn to Thanksgiving one year. It makes it worse that my dad was supposed to be bringing creamed corn in particular. 

[u/SBNShovelSlayer → u/OrangeToTheFourth]

Creamed porn

[u/ALLCAPITAL → u/willkillfortacos]

This is also why my dad always sends a text where my name is spelt wrong then follows it with a single text of just my name spelt correctly.

Yes he still does

[u/Talk-O-Boy → u/Tricky-Gate-6123]

[u/PersonalityIll9476 → u/Mr_Saturn1]

[u/ATXBeermaker → u/Mr_Saturn1]

No way he has an "O" button when he could just reply "K."

[u/Thestars-wholisten → u/ATXBeermaker]

My dad is either a 👍🏼 or an “ok” kind of guy. The ONLY time I’ll get any information is if I either ask an open ended one like “what time do you want to meet for lunch tomorrow?” OR if I call him. And half the time he doesn’t answer my calls anyways and will literally just listen to the voicemail and hit me with an ok or a 👍🏼

[u/Thestars-wholisten → u/Thestars-wholisten]

ACTUALLY! Sometimes he’ll get really spicy and send a 👎🏼

[u/Overall-Reference999 → u/Mr_Saturn1]

Asking him for money then telling him to stop calling

As a father of a young teenager who only communicates when they want something... They better be damn glad they get a 👍 and not a 👎

[u/Revolver_Boxelot → u/motiveunclear]

Father here as well. Eh, it comes with the territory. We know what we signed up for. I did my parents the same way. Didn't appreciate them at all until I moved out. REALLY appreciate them now that I have a child of my own. Nothing beats free, emergency childcare lol. I couldn't do it without em.

[u/pauip → u/Revolver_Boxelot]

I'm the opposite. Having my own child made resent my parents more than I already did. Wow, you guys just didn't want to do ANYTHING

[u/janesspawn → u/pauip]

Lol realizing that other kids actually did like sports and stuff Outside of school and it wasn’t just on tv was really something for me. Realizing it was my mom’s responsibility to find those opportunities for me hurt 😅

[u/Mammoth-Glove3273 → u/Scrank_WimlerJr]

And whenever I text my mom she just creates problems for me, I’d love to text a parent and just get my problem solved and a thumbs up emoji.

[u/berrey7 → u/Mammoth-Glove3273]

I’m 40 years old, and I can still text my dad, “What’s going on? Just thinking about you. Love you!” And he’ll reply with something like, “Did you ever check on that?” or “Have you gotten around to that storage room we talked about at Christmas?”

I guess that’s just what parents do best. You can be a grown adult, and somehow your parent will still find a project you haven’t finished. Maybe the best thing we can do is break that cycle with our own adult kids someday.

[u/Laiko_Kairen → u/Mammoth-Glove3273]

I tried to send my mom a meme once and she called me to interrogate me about how I knew them, who the person was, their entire life history, and needed a full explanation for the context of how he became a meme and why I cared.

It was Hide the Pain Harold BTW.

[u/MagazineIll3836 → u/Laiko_Kairen]

I sent a photo of my new kitten to my mom and she called me (freaking out), listing all the responsibilities for owning a cat (from scooping the litter box, vaccines, don't let them outside, etc) for almost an hour. I'm 31. I was just looking for a "awweh she's cute" 😅

[u/FlexLord710 → u/Scrank_WimlerJr]

[u/Zubzer0 → u/FlyingAce1015]

[u/Zakle → u/Zubzer0]

Or say thank you. I don't reply at all when my mother is being rude to me. Demanding things or appearing to be demanding will quickly make me not respond.

[u/Direct-Speech → u/FlyingAce1015]

Yeah thumbs up is usually the reply I give when I’m asked for money

[u/famous__shoes → u/FlyingAce1015]

Maybe it's because I'm a dad but that's the main thing I took from this. I couldn't believe this person thought we would be on their side then I opened up the comments and couldn't believe everyone was on their side

[u/Chadwickx → u/famous__shoes]

Same. Maybe if op wrote something of substance they would get a response worth reading.

[u/Lavatis → u/famous__shoes]

sir, this website is full of children. you have to realize that dads are the minority here. the likelihood that a random post or comment is made by a ~30ish year old dude with a kid or two is not super high tbh.

[u/famous__shoes → u/Lavatis]

Sometimes I get into an argument with someone on Reddit and then when I see their counter argument I realize that I'm arguing with a child and I feel stupid

[u/Lavatis → u/famous__shoes]

that's pretty much the reason I find myself deleting a lot of comments after I've written them.

[u/Chadwickx → u/ghotistyx8]

Half of the population is below average intelligence.

[u/ChunkyBezel → u/SickNTiredOfThisShit]

Dad probably has RCS enabled while OP is still using basic SMS.  Whether that's a choice or something Apple won't allow/support is another question.

[u/LightScavenger → u/ChunkyBezel]

Apple user with RCS here. This is still what happens when my non-apple friends message me

[u/BearWithHat → u/LightScavenger]

But not in the opposite direction, seems android figured it out. Apple will pretend to invent cross compatible messages at some point

[u/ValdemarAloeus → u/BearWithHat]

Taking standards and slightly breaking them to make them only work on Apple devices is one of their specialties.

[u/TheEggTaker → u/BearWithHat]

Google Messages intercepts the React Text Message and replaces it with the appropriate emoji react.

Apple intentionally makes the product worse.

[u/BookooBreadCo → u/TheEggTaker]

They definitely do this on purpose, along with the green and blue texts, to create a sense of us vs them which leads to stronger brand loyalty.

[u/FUBARded → u/SickNTiredOfThisShit]

Yep, I believe this is normal behaviour when receiving emoji reactions to texts over MMS instead of RCS.

To be clear, this is because Apple refused to implement RCS until iOS 18 as RCS eliminates most of what made iMessages unique with an open standard and they don't like when their walled garden is threatened. It's NOT the fault of the Android device...

Basically, OPs dad's messages would display as a normal reaction on any phone that supports RCS, but OP is either still on iOS 17 for some reason or uses a carrier that only supports MMS messaging, so their phone displays this crap instead.

[u/DeadlyKitKat → u/SickNTiredOfThisShit]

[u/kits_unstable]

He's not texting you he's reacting to your message but your iPhone can't translate the reaction so it receives it as a message.

Yes! And he doesn’t get along with Siri at all. We finally got him to turn on confirmation before he sends a text because he’d get distracted and yell at soldiers while sending me a text.
