Being filled with childlike wonder at small technological advances that happened years ago and going “Oh wow” and talking loads about it afterwards (today’s one was e-passport gates at airports).

Has anyone mentioned dad reversing?

Seatbelt off, arm round the back of the passenger seat and eyes out the back window. No mirrors required.

Makes you feel like you’re in Z Cars (also a dad thing, referencing old cultural touchstones like they were still in common usage).

only sets of traffic lights but every set of traffic lights. Eg, go through 3 sets of traffic lights then take the next right, then go left at the 2nd set etc etc

Mentioned it before, but I love listening to the drivers at work giving directions to each other. Dad directions with the extra hassle of weight limits and low bridges.

‘Left at the first set of lights and down the high street, straight on at the roundabout and then right at the next set, past the station and then you’ll come to a Honda garage – Oh, you’ve only got a single deck trailer? Just go straight on at the first set of lights and it’s about a mile and a half down there. There’s a 15’ bridge along there, but you’ll be fine in a single’

Making you help them take things to the tip. Can’t believe how many times I had to do this.

Forgetting how old you are/what year of school you’re in/when your birthday is. My da was once in a mad panic because he thought I didn’t have a place at uni. I was 16 at the time.

My mate’s dad is particularly bad for this. It doesn’t seem so bad once you find out that he has to work out his own age in his head every time he’s asked.
