My father is the worst handyman ever (rant)

Hello everyone,

I'm typing fast because I have to head out!
There's a leak in the house due to the rain we're getting from the storm heading our way. We have a skylight, which is where the drip is falling from. My father decides to climb onto the fridge by way of having me sit on a dining chair in which he puts all of his weight (he is quite fat) on the back side of it. I'm sitting there so it doesn't move (and result in his fall) as he uses it to climb up. What does he do?

He places a rag in between the opening of the skylight. In which I told him that wasn't going to fix anything and the leak would keep dripping. He insisted that it wouldn't, as he always brushes off people criticizing his work. What happens? the leak is back. And not only does he place an item to catch the water, but it's a tray that has holes on the side!!

I am so pissed off by this man because I don't know where his logic is. He could've easily placed a bucket on top of the fridge without having to do any of the extra sh*t that could've resulted in MY or HIS immediate death. He could've just asked me to climb up there as well???

We always end up in a yelling match. Why do men feel the need to be repairmen, especially if they're not good at it!? :eek:h:

My father's exactly the same way.
Which is funny because home repairs and renovation is the type of work he does(And has been doing for 30+ years)
So he knows how to fix things better than most people.
He's just a lazy ass when it comes to his own house.lol

doesn't he have any duct tape?

He used it for other quick solutions around the house.

:lol: I will be climbing on the fridge later to remove the towel he added on top of the tray. *smh*

My dad fixes toilet problems, faucet problems, wall holes, car problems, and lots of other stuff. He's great at home improvement. Guys in general love to solve problems, plus many have great analytical abilities so they make great handymen (in general, of course there are exceptions). I try to learn from them when I can.

I'm guessing you're a guy. ;)
