22 of the Funniest Things Fathers Did That Were ‘Peak Dad’

Dads are truly the epitome of “guys being dudes.” 

Whether it’s stocking up on a week’s worth of frozen dinners because mom’s out of town or traveling well over 2,000 miles for a free hat, the fathers of these Redditors have displayed some “peak dad” behavior.
