I LOVED this one! Very funny. I'll have to tell my dad about this one. He'll get a kick out of it. Thanks for sharing.

My dad was an infamous cheapskate...and in towing 5 + children around running errands all day, his patience never got the better of him.

whining little kid : "dadddddd, I'm hunnnngry!"
smartass dad sticks out his hand : "Hi Hungry! Nice to meet ya! My name's thirsty!"

What's really bad is when you find yourself repeating dad's quotes to your own kids, i've caught myself several times saying

"you think money grows on trees"

"oh for cryin out loud"

and a famous one from mother: "wait til your father gets home"

My Dad had already passed away, I was at my brothers funeral when I was 15 years old, my Mother said to me "most of the tears at a funeral are for things left unsaid and things left undone".I've always remembered this

One my my Dad's was to remind me that "90% of the people you tell your problems to don't care no matter how much they fake caring, 9% are glad you have your problems, and 1% care. Don't confuse who your friends really are"

On understanding people's motivations, he often repeated Hanlon's Razor: "Never attribute to malice that which can be adequately explained by stupidity." I'll tell you, truer words were rarely spoken.

On marriage, his advice was "never marry a girl who takes more than double your time to get ready to go somewhere, or you'll resent here when you're older".

And this one I think much of his generation said to their kids...when we'd ask for something outlandish, he'd say "do you want a pony with that too?". We knew it was a lost cause once he said that.

Thought of another one: NRA, as in "Never Refuse Anything." Dad liked getting anything for free. And when I was well into my 30s, and he was still sneaking $20 bills into my duffel bag when I came for a visit, I'd get all mature and independent and say "But Dad ..." and he'd say "Come on, now, NRA ..."
