This is petty and trivial, but I hate how hard it is to have a conversation with my dad about ANYTHING without him treating it like it's his problem to solve and here's a dozen dumb suggestions that won't work because he has no clue what he's talking about. I have to be careful about how I phrase my conversation and keep things very superficial and shallow because he'll seize upon anything and immediately begin lecturing me on how to handle this or that. For the record, I am NOT complaining about my problems. I can't, because he'll launch into mansplainer mode. It'll be like:

Dad: Didn't you buy a pair of pants off Amazon?
Me: Yeah, but I returned them because they didn't fit.
Dad: Well you should lose some weight and that will help [eats another fistful of chips from a bag that's resting on his protuberant gut] in fact I saw a commercial that said the local gym was discounting memberships for the holidays, you should buy a membership. But when you go to the gym you should use X and Y machines only, not Z because I read a health article that says Z machines can strain your back and blah blah blah blah and be sure to blah blah blah blah

His other annoying habit is that he's getting older, and his world is shrinking. That's just life, right? New stuff happens, changes occur, you no longer have your finger on the pulse of technology. To my dad, anything he hasn't heard of is suspicious in some way. Either it can't possibly exist, can't possibly work, is wrong somehow, you're mistaken, etc. because if it was real and legit, he would know about it. No he fucking wouldn't. This man doesn't keep up with anything outside of a very small circle of interests, but acts like he knows everything and what he doesn't know is sus. So you'd better stick to the 2-3 topics he's comfortable with if you don't want to be interrogated about whatever it you're trying to talk about.
