pervocracy:

My dad just spent a few days visiting here.

Things my dad was confrontational and judgmental about:

• Microsoft products
• Hillary Clinton
• Music created after 1820
• Brutalist architecture
• Tourists
• Pilsners
• Large cars
• Small cars
• Advertising of any kind
• Sports other than football (”real football”)  (soccer)
• Flags
• Blu-Ray
• Americans with the temerity to speak American English
• (my dad very insistently says “petrol,” “advert,” “loo,”  etc.)  (he’s from Pennsylvania)  (he did live in Germany for several years) (but he is from Pennsylvania, still)

Things my dad was not confrontational or judgmental about:

• My career choices and path
• My physical and mental health
• My gender expression
• Me living with two people

My dad’s weird and grumpy and I love him.

your dad sounds a lot like my dad (minus the sports).
