    Not sure how old you are, but if you’re an adult I’d definitely cut them out. If you’re a kid I’m sorry you have to deal with it. Just know it will get better. My dad was like this ver-batim, and while it sucks not having a support system when you’re a young adult, it’s better than dealing with the toxicity

    I have said this many times in the past and I will say it again in the future I am sure. And I am saying this as a parent:

    You owe your parents nothing. You did not ask to be born. They made you. They owe you everything.

    Cut this asshole out of your life. Your life will be better for it.

    This looks like the text they show in the true murder shows to demonstrate why the child killed their parent.

    Make it a point to call everyone “sir”. Cashiers, Waiters, people providing you with services, pets, inanimate objects, digital assistants…

    Most importantly: your friends.

    When an honorific is used for everyone, it ceases to be an honorific.

      I have a cousin who has a knighthood and he hates it when I call him ‘sir,’ so I do it to annoy him. He’s a physicist. (He was much more honored by winning an Ig Nobel Prize.)

      To be fair, I would be too. He told me the queen asked him what he was there for and when he tried to explain it in brief, she just looked confused and moved on.

      I’ve lived in the southern US a good portion of my life, where a lot of parents go by “sir” and “ma’am” and you are expected to call others in public as “sir” and “ma’am” respectively. So, while I see what you’re saying, the father in this case may agree unironically.

        There are two types of people I call “Sir”: People I respect, and people I detest. I know the difference. I care not whether the detestable can figure out which category they occupy. That they false believe they have my respect serves me more than their belief I hold them in contempt.

    This is a good way to make certain that I only show up to your funeral to make sure you’re dead.

    I’ll take “Things that get your sperm donor’s favourite food items tainted” for $500, Alex.

    Fuck this asshole. Bide your time until you can GTFO, then GTFO and don’t look back. Sorry to hear the guy who contributed to your embryonic stage is a pencil dicked twat. “Sir” - fuck you.

    Sorry, people like this really rub me the wrong way, all the more so when the target of this crap isn’t someone strong enough to make them lose some teeth (no fault of your own, and it’s a hard thing to punch your biocontributor in the mouth anyway).
