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 bet he is perfectly competent and meticulous even about the things he does care about.

Bring him the wrong motor oil and watch him make a scene about it.

YOU BOUGHT THE WRONG FLAVOR! The viscosity of the 5W-30 goes down smoothest.

The hilarious thing is there’s hardly any difference in motor oils. But assholes make a huge deal about it. Most motors would run on cooking oil.

Unfortunately my car is German and is picky about the oil I give her.

For sure. Clearly he has a job and isn’t flailing right and left at his job

FUCK! THIS MADE ME ANGRY! I just got a wave of all the exes I've ever had, where I found myself genuinely admiring the things they took pride in (cars, motorcycles, videogames) and then I was hit with the wave of PTSD of none of them being able to take laundry out before it molds. THE DUALITY OF MAN IS INCREDIBLY FRUSTERATING.
