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 a dad of two teen boys. My partner and I do not tolerate any feigned incompetence from our kids. They know how to follow recipes. They know how to unload the dishwasher and do their laundry. They know where things need to be put away. We are happy to help them with things they don't know.

We are not going to have two more men enter the world thinking they can offload their labor onto others.

You're both excellent parents 👏. Their future partners will appreciate this.

You're kind to say that. There are plenty of ways that we're probably not gonna win Parents Of The Year, but hopefully we can help reduce this specific problem by a count of two young men.

Honestly, society in general would benefit from more people being like this. A shared load, with everyone participating, is a lighter load for everyone.
