Brits Confess to the Moments They Gained their Dad’s Disapproval

Ahead of Father’s Day, greetings card company thortful.com reveals the UK’s ultimate confession which led to receiving their dad’s disapproval
The number one confession is ‘I took my dad’s watch apart to find out how it works, I couldn’t put it back together again. It was a vintage Rolex’

Every child fears their dad’s disapproval, as no one wants to be scorned for their mistakes. But that doesn’t mean children don’t earn their dad’s disapproval every now and again.

Taking it upon themselves to find all of the hilarious moments where children have gotten themselves into a pickle with their dads, greetings card marketplace, thortful.com tasked the UK to confess their actions which have led to their dad’s disapproval, ahead of Father’s Day.

Having analysed the entries and votes, thortful can reveal that the ultimate confession, as voted for by the nation, is (queue the moment of awkward panic)… ‘I took my dad’s watch apart to find out how it works, I couldn’t put it back together again. It was a vintage Rolex.’

The top confessions are as followed:

I took my dad’s watch apart to find out how it works, I couldn’t put it back together again. It was a vintage Rolex
I recorded Teenage Mutant Hero Turtles over my parents’ wedding tape
I bet my brother he couldn’t drink four litres of milk. He did… then he projectile vomited all over the living room
I drove my dad’s brand-new Mercedes into the pond when I was four
I shaved my younger sister’s head. Badly
I drew a Weedol penis on our lawn
My dad caught me playing his Fender guitar – with a block of cheese
I quit uni to sell crystal skulls out the back of a van
I moved back in with them
Well, there was the time I crashed his car… and then tried to say he shouldn’t be cross because I owned up
I got banned from the school bus for mooning passing cards, dad had to give me a lift to school every day for two weeks
After my parents got divorced, my dad took me out to his posh friend’s big house for an annual NYE party – he was in search of some nice ladies. I headed for the whisky. I was sick across every inch of this man’s huge house before we even got to midnight. Up the walls, on sofas – the lot. He wasn’t invited back
I got a tattoo of a frog on my bum in Zante when I was 17
I smashed the new, large glass table that we had in our living room by doing a judo throw on my older sister. Father was not happy
Swapped his golf balls for weighted ones right before his weekly round
