Why does my dad always blame me for everything?

I hate my dad, and I believe my reasons are justifiable.

Take today for instance. He enters my room and asks if I have any dishes and I say yes and then he asks me if I want him to take my dishes and put them in the dishwasher to which I say no. Then, for some inexplicable reason he insults me by saying that I have a tendency to put my dishes on the kitchen counter instead of inside the dishwasher, it was so uncalled for and in my view I did nothing wrong, he's just an asshole towards me in general.

About two months ago he blamed me for using up all the remaining car shampoo even though he had no evidence to support his claim. He had already made up his mind and there was no changing it and thus I got the blame, in reality I had used some car shampoo but I did certainly not use up the remainder of the bottle.


I don't know what his deal is. He always finds things to blame me for and they're almost always things that he cannot prove or support and it drives me insane. I hate him with a passion, he's a horrible father. Why does he behave like this towards me? He's always been like this, even when I was a kid he would find ways to either insult me indirectly or other ways of passive-aggressively taunting or humiliating me.
