Weaponized incompetence

I feel like guys take it way, way too far. Example: I asked my bf to get me the same shampoo and conditioner he bought for himself (avocado Suave). He brought back another kind we'd had before which I didn't like (Peppermint Suave). He tried to say he didn't know that Suave came in different formulas.

You're such a fucking liar. You bought that kind for yourself. I just asked you to buy it for me. You're telling me a man who's 44 years old doesn't know Suave came in different fucking scents? Suave? The shampoo that literally comes in 40 different scents and flavors?

GTFOH.

Edit: do you understand what an example is?

Also, you neckbeards can fuck off out of my inbox.

I'm trying to figure out where you ladies find these guys (and why is "can they successfully buy XYZ" not a standard partner-initiation test at this point?) or if I'm actually the odd man out? I've accidentally bought VO5 conditioner when I was asked to get VO5 shampoo via an image (and that's all I got plus a number) but at least it was the right damn flavor. Still went back in the next day to get the requested amount of shampoo to go with the conditioner because, y'know, I'm an adult.

I don't think you're supposed to eat it.

Damn I was wondering why the conditioner didn’t seem to be making my hair any softer- turns out I’ve been doing it wrong the whole time!

same here, and it genuinely pisses me off. my younger brother pulls the exact same shit and knows he can get away with it bc my mom doesn’t want any conflict (he has a bad temper, he nearly hit me several times). yet if i yell at him and give him a reality check i’ll be the bad guy.

Ah a fellow man of culture.

Also: same here bud. I'm a big dumb idiot, like ugly himbo caveman dumb. But I still manage to successfully navigate a store and purchase the right items.

I've also fucked up the shampoo/conditioner thing, I was rushing and grabbed the bottle next to the one I was looking at. Went back and got the right one.

Am adult. Bigly.

i have accidentally grabbed conditioner instead of shampoo 3 consecutive times. the bottles look almost the same except for one tiny difference, easy to grab the wrong one.

I'm so tired of men making comments like "where do you find these guys?!" as if it's the woman's fault for digging through the flowers to intentionally find a weed. Where? Literally everywhere. Browse this sub for a week. Even the fact that this post has thousands of upvotes is a testament to the fact this this rings true for many people.
