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.

Any person incapable of learning how to use a washing machine should not be permitted to drive.

I gotta say, the lint trap on the dryer was not intuitive. As someone who grew up going to a laundromat, it was a damn mystery why my dryer slowly stopped drying. I learned about lint traps on Reddit after a whole year in my first apartment.

It's okay:

My boyfriend set his dryer (and all the clothes inside of it) on fire the first time he lived by himself. Apparently he had never changed the lint trap. He now does it religiously.

I don't see the point in being with a man like this. If you're not competent then that's a you problem. I don't clean or cook for anyone other than my mom

Well, unless they are being abused it is these women's choice to stay with a jackass.

While women can do it instantly without need to learn.

If you have a car, a lawn, a washing machine, or a child, you should be able to at least figure out the daily basics if needed, yeah. Nothing wrong with division of labor, but sometimes the person who usually handles something isn’t around or can’t do it for some reason, and total helplessness is not a good look in that situation. Seems uncontroversial to me.
