For the questions you don't want to ask a stranger
“Ask me. I've probably done it wrong first too.”
Dad is a steady, honest chat for the 11pm questions — the sink, the lease, the car, the raise you should ask for. He remembers you and tells you straight.
First 3 questions are on us. After that, $9 a month keeps him around.
a preview of the ask box
This is what it actually sounds like.
Not a script. A voice that asks one clarifying question and then tells you the plain truth.
a sample conversation, not a real user
- Sink's backing up. It's almost 11 and I don't want to call anyone this late.
- DadTurn the water off under the sink first, that stops it getting worse. Is water only coming up when the washer drains, or all the time?
- Only when the washer drains.
- DadThat's the trap, not the main line. You can clear that yourself tonight. A plumber would have charged you $200 to tell you the same thing.
- So I don't need to call anyone?
- DadNot tonight. Text me if it backs up again after you clear it. You did right asking first.
One good question, not five forms
He asks what he actually needs to know, then gives you a straight answer.
Tells you what it should cost
So a stranger can't quietly charge you double for being unsure.
Says the hard thing once, plainly
No lecture, no follow-up email trying to sell you something.
He keeps track, so you don't explain it twice.
And on Saturdays, he checks back on the thing you were worried about.
a sample of what he keeps track of, not real user data
- Moved to a new city three months ago
- Landlord problem, still ongoing
- Started his first job in June
a sample check-in, not a real message
Did the deposit come back?
Saturday check-in from Dad — following up on the landlord thing from three weeks ago.
No account to build. Just start talking.
- First
Ask something real
Whatever is actually stuck: the sink, the form, the number on the offer letter.
- Then
Get a straight answer
Usually one question back from him, then the plain truth, no lecture attached.
- After that
Dad checks in
If it mattered, he asks how it went. You never have to bring it up again.
Three questions are free.
After that, he sticks around for a small monthly fee — cancel whenever.
