This One Time My Dad Was A Tool...

This morning The KC Show asked listeners for their stories of times when their dads were tools as part of a Frank Clark Ltd giveaway ahead of Father's Day. We got a great response and couldn't read them all out on-air so here are just some of the texts we received.

This is my funny story about my dad my older brother had a shower came out put his dirty underwear and socks on the counter top above the wash machine mydad came into the kitchen and started roaring and shouting about shitty underwear little did we know there had been a tea bag where he had put his jockshe was chasing Jason all over the house!

My dad who we love to bits was the biggest tool the ultimate top of the range tool when he left my mum and us (4 kids)29 years ago for another woman fecking us all up lol but now he is making up for all that lost time he is now the best granddad and best dad he could do with some new tools to.help my mumout as they are now age 70 best friends do everything together - Michelle

We were in France. My dad loves machinery. It's what he lives and breathes. Anyway as we were on the way to a big water park dad saw a huge pea picking machine. He made mom stop the car in the middle of nowhere so he could walk around. Worst part being he was dressed in a blue polo shirt, sandals, a straw hat and a pair of swimming shorts with the crack of his ass showing. As he walked around the field all he got very weird looks from farmers and all we could do was pray he did get on the machine with the French man. It was so embarrassing ᖟᘳ - Sarah 

Years ago when my mum was young my grandad came home Xmas eve from the pub. When my nan opened the door my grandad was standing there with a swan under his arm that he took from the Lough. All my mam heard was my nan shouting at my grandad Bring that swan back to the Lough right now! Needless to say itwas a memorable Xmas for them! Emma in carrigaline

When my dad first had taytos he thought they were like corn flakes and poured milk on them.. He was as sick as a dog. Still eats them but tells that story regularly when he sees a bag of tayto!!

Good morning lads just a thought what did parents do to pass away boredom before the Internet I was asking my 26 brothers and sisters last night and they didn t know either

This story is more about me being a tool than my dad but watching him laugh when he talks about it makes him a tool lol. I was 5 months pregnant and my dad was teaching me to drive. He made me drive to ringaskiddy so being pregnant and nervous I cut out twice coming down a hill (I know how is it possible)of course I drew the attention of two gardai who pulled us over. My dad and the garda spent about 10 mins laughing at me before they drove off - Dani

Years ago my dad had been out at the pub. He came back to his house & was knocking for his girlfriend to open the door. When she didn't answer he checked the window. He managed to open it & fall into the room. Once he stood up he realized why his girlfriend hadn't opened the door, he was in the wrong house!!! - Emma

Many years ago, I ' say it was 2000, it was Christmas and my dad had had a few drinks. At the time we were doing some work on the garden and we had one of those small JCBs. My brother who was about 5 had been asking my dad all week for a drive on the JCB and obviously the best time to do this was after a few hot ones! Out they went and they weren't gone 10 minutes when we felt the house shake and heard all the crashing and banging! Dad had raised the bucket and put it straight through the dining room window! My brother ran in fear of my mother but dad just sat there breaking his sides laughing!!!! Best part was, the bucket did absolutely no damage to the window frame just the glass...and there wasn't even an inch either side of the bucket! That was the coldest Christmas I remember hahaha P.S. My brother showed up about 2 hours later terrified  - Denise
