>need to replace ceiling fan in bathroom>dad won't let me do anything to help even though he's 70>pulls the whole housing out of the ceiling without wearing a mask and inhales insulation when he has lung disease>getting out of breath just walking across the house to the breaker and back>buys the cheapest piece of shit fan he can get that doesn't even fit the old hole>finally gets it in while I just stand there watching him kill himself because he won't let me do any actual work>giant gap straight into the attic with the new grate on>just rubs caulk over the gap straight on the drywall>fan isn't venting to anything, just blows moisture into the insulation >after he does all that he says there's a part number right on the fucking housing that he somehow didn't see>readily available fan replacements online that would take no effort to replace and not mangle the ceiling>well at least I saved $10why are boomers like this
>>3008983>own father refuses help (knows you are useless)>go online talk shit about himWhy are u like this?
>>3008988 yeah OP be more useful
It's a sign that he wants you to sign him up for MAID buy he's too proud to say it
>>3008983Some people are just stubborn retards. Sorry anon.
>>3008988>>3009001It doesn't necessarily mean OP's useless, some people are just control freaks who are used to do everything themselves and hate seeing other people get involved because it means they failed or something. My mom is like that.There's nothing to be done except neg them with questions like "why are you doing x instead of y" and "I see you didn't do x, can I do x". It's not very kind but sometimes it's all you can do if you don't want to go back without doing anything.
>>3009116Lmao at Canada.
>>3009202if op knew the fan needed replacing then get on with it. if his dad beat him to it then he gets to call the shots on how its done.
>>3008983move outproblem solved
>>3008983Why would you let your dad fuck up your own house?
>>3008988To be fair you can get stuck in a cycle of uselessness if everybody thinks you're too useless to do anything. That happens to younger siblings a lot since parents find it easier to let the kids they've already taught do everything. Combine that with the fact that plenty of old people want to be young, independent, and the rulers of their domain at ANY cost, and this scenario doesn't sound too unrealistic.
>>3008983"investors" fucking up the inventory
