I don't get how someone is unable to call a taxi for themselves...

I have a sneaking suspicion this is not a real text exchange but was created merely for our entertainment.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 10 months ago

I wouldn't complain

Im assuming the assumption is dad would pay for the taxi.

Or the son/daughter is actually very responsible and already knows they're gonna be blackout drunk, unable to call anything.

That's a fairly normal time for parties, especially with friends. Even though I mostly do this in my home village (so ~500m from home), it's common to party til 6 am, or rather until someone complains to the police, for many festivals.

Because he wouldn't have said "I'm a taxi", and there wouldn't have been any joke

I guess you’re just not very imaginative then

If this was my child I'd definitely feel like I failed somewhere.

There could be many reasons. Maybe he‘s mute, deaf or something similar

Dad's inbox the following Monday: "Hello, and thank you for reserving your future room at the Green Acres Retirement Home..."

I'm a taxi, Hi random guy on the internet

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

I've always found dad jokes funny, there's just something about them that matches my humor lol

The real question is - why is this a gif???

[–] [email protected] 19 points 10 months ago

It's a WEBP file, not a GIF.

[–] [email protected] 6 points 10 months ago

Gif is an image format. It helps convey visual media much easier.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 10 months ago

I never asked that question, I asked why are people doing like serious analysis over a dumb joke
