Generally, I sort of hate it that dads are usually portrayed as stupid, NASCAR loving, beer swilling idiots who can't do anything aside scratch their ass and burp.

However, this stereotype does come in handy at any medical office when you're there for your kid. The receptionist is generally a woman, and when they ask those tough questions like "Do you have a co-pay", or "did you insurance change?" I can shrug and say "I don't know, I'm just the dad". I usually get back a knowing look, and am sent on my way.

So, although I am pretty far from the stereotypical "guy", I guess I can try taking advantage of it in certain cases. I just need to figure out what other ways to take advantage of it. Maybe, whenever dealing with a woman, just shrug, have deer-in-headlight eyes and see what happens.
