[@antthomas7916]

Same. The funny part is that I hated going to Lowes/Home Depot with my dad, but now it's my favorite store. Now i get to torture my kid by going there and spending hours looking at things I don't need ha.

You know, this video really inspired me a "Gen Z" to be more like this dad. I have now relearned how to change oil, remembered how to change a flat, learned how to make my bed military style which I have and just cleaned my bathroom which only took 10 minutes. Thank you for inspiring me midwestern dad!

I saw him in person, he is funnier in his videos. I did a plumbing job for my mom, my brother did a different job on the same kitchen sink. I did the new faucet, my brother removed an old water softener, and she blames me for the water damage. Turned out it was my brother's fault, and he was a jack of all trades carpenter. I have been working on my own cars for almost 30 years, doing oil changes in easy, and messy.

[@alecshockley536]

The dad standing in the aisle at the store talking to the random guy and taking forever is so unbelievably accurate. When I'd go to the store with my dad and he'd start a conversation with someone, I knew we were going to be there for an eternity. And as I get older, I find myself doing the exact same thing.

[@roaringlaughter3812]

The talk with a stranger has no expectations and baggage

[@camobranson09]

​@@roaringlaughter3812there's a part of it too that, as we get older, old contacts die (sometimes literally) and making new ones is difficult but a 30 minute conversation with some stranger at a store can make you feel a bit more grounded.

Live in the Midwest myself,I’m retired now and I finally called the plumber to installed a new faucet in one bathroom. He was there at my house for two days, had him replace all the faucets. He also corrected every plumbing job I had did over 30 years. Everything works correctly!!!! Next month I’m calling the electrician👍

[@theMightyWhytey]

Good to know that is an option. Sometimes I am scared to start a new project, because I am worried it will be just a little off. Fix that mistake 20 years later when I am more financially secure… genius

[@kennethv5250]

lol we're doing the same thing with the plumbing. all that hard work i did, undone

[@camobranson09]

​@@kennethv5250 Hard work =/= good work. I've learned that the hard way too many times.

[@molonlabe2645]

I’ve learned that the previous owners of my house half-assed repairs, and when I think I’m only in for a couple hour project, it ends up taking way more time than that and sometimes I have to call in a professional because the additional issues are outside my expertise.

[@OriginalMegamanX]

​@molonlabe2645 don't feel bad. I live in the deep south and I'm encountering these exact things you guys in the Midwest are. I did a plumbing job at the family farm a few years ago that looked exactly like that 3D pipes screensaver from windows '98 thanks to my uncle playing plumber. Dear God, I wish I was exaggerating about what it was like.

[@lindam9618]

My Dad owned an independent paint, wallpaper & hardware store in Chicago. When he got older, he worked at JC Licht. All the contractors followed him because he knew everything about paint (he could mix color without the computerized system) and hardware, and he was a no bs kind of guy with a sarcastic sense of humor. When he decided to retire, corporate called to try to convince him not to retire. "Why are you retiring?" My dad: "Because I'm old!" In his older years, we'd go to various Ace Hardware stores all the time (he'd point out which ones were better than others) or Menards. To this day, I love finding old hardware stores - the ones with narrow aisles that still sell nails and screws individually from large barrels - just to hang out. I miss my totally midwest Dad, who knew how to fix everything. 😢

He sounds like an awesome guy.

If your times tables are a little weak (mine ends at 12 personally) you can break things down to more manageable values. 7*18 is too hard to do in my head, so you can reach the same answer by doing 7*10+7*8=126.
