I don't get how someone is unable to call a taxi for themselves...

[–] ManosTheHandsOfFate@lemmy.world 116 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I have a sneaking suspicion this is not a real text exchange but was created merely for our entertainment.

[–] SubArcticTundra@lemmy.ml 22 points 1 year ago

I wouldn't complain

Im assuming the assumption is dad would pay for the taxi.

Or the son/daughter is actually very responsible and already knows they're gonna be blackout drunk, unable to call anything.

At 7am?

[–] 30p87@feddit.de 5 points 1 year ago

That's a fairly normal time for parties, especially with friends. Even though I mostly do this in my home village (so ~500m from home), it's common to party til 6 am, or rather until someone complains to the police, for many festivals.

I guess you’re just not very imaginative then

If this was my child I'd definitely feel like I failed somewhere.

There could be many reasons. Maybe he‘s mute, deaf or something similar

Dad's inbox the following Monday: "Hello, and thank you for reserving your future room at the Green Acres Retirement Home..."

Hi taxi, I'm Dad.

[–] ipkpjersi@lemmy.ml 11 points 1 year ago

I've always found dad jokes funny, there's just something about them that matches my humor lol

The real question is - why is this a gif???

[–] First@programming.dev 19 points 1 year ago

It's a WEBP file, not a GIF.
