So this is my first post and I'm making it about something spooky but I wouldn't have it any other way. If you couldn't guess from where this story is being posted, its about something strange. Our story begins 10 years ago in the Galway woods of western Ireland. In which I was camping with the rest of my scout troop. To provide background there were 3 leaders two guys one girl and the rest of my scout troop was a fairly even mix of boys and girls the youngest being 9 and the oldest being 13. The camp was going terrible. If anyone is at all familir with irish weather youll know that it doesn't care what time of the year it is its gonna rain,and boy did it. By the third day of our camp everyone was kinda miserable from it , myself included. Apart from the events that took place on the fourth night of our camp one of the only other thing I remember about the camp is the constant grey sky bordered by the spiny trees. Night four started as usual we were sent to bed and we all gathered in our tent. If I can remember right we were all pretty miserable. The previous night our tent had started flooding causing us to have to run to the spare one in the dead of night. I have vivid memories of being scooped up and quite literrlly tossed into the spare one. Things started to look up however when we started telling ghost stories. I know right cliché and all that but cmon we were wet and misreble . to be honest I don't remember what stories were being told all I remember is that after id told mine one of the other girls had started to cry. Feeling bad I offered to do what my dad always did for me open up the tent and show that there was nothing out there. Important thing to note about the tents we were staying in they were OLD. They didn't have zippers instead you had to plait the doors closed with string. I vividly remember untreading it opening the door... and freezing, freezing because there was something on the edge of the treeline and its eyes were red. I don't remember what it looked like whenever I try and bring it into focus all I get is black and red and claws. Next thing I knew one of the older girls grabbed me by my sleeve and pulled me back in the process of calling me something. I can understand how I looked. I was blocking the entrance of the tent so to everyone else me opening the door and then freezing would have just seemed like another cheap trick to scare them even more. But when I was puleed away from the door it fell open and everyone saw it. I reme

Anyone have any idea why they laid waste to a huge number of trees in Portumna Forest Park over the fall/winter 2015-2016? The park looks like a war zone.
I don't want to step on anybody's toes here, but the amount of non-dad jokes here in this subreddit really annoys me. First of all, dad jokes CAN be NSFW, it clearly says so in the sub rules. Secondly, it doesn't automatically make it a dad joke if it's from a conversation between you and your child. Most importantly, the jokes that your CHILDREN tell YOU are not dad jokes. The point of a dad joke is that it's so cheesy only a dad who's trying to be funny would make such a joke. That's it. They are stupid plays on words, lame puns and so on. There has to be a clever pun or wordplay for it to be considered a dad joke.
Again, to all the fellow dads, I apologise if I'm sounding too harsh. But I just needed to get it off my chest.
Do your worst!
I'm surprised it hasn't decade.
For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.
I said "hey look, an escaPEA"
No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!
Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂
It really does, I swear!
They’re on standbi
Pilot on me!!
Nothing, he was gladiator.
Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.
This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.
If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.
Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.
When I got home, they were still there.

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.
Daughter: I'm hungry
Me: nerves building, smile widening
Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.
She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.
Thank you all for listening.
