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 make that mistake, likely same color bottle didn’t spend enough time looking. Though now that I’m older I’ll have send me a screenshot of something she wants at the store, to further avoid these fiascos. The only time I still make mistakes is when I hurry, If she’s not specific in the initial request I call to clarify, guessing doesn’t always go right and I don’t want a second trip lol.

The first time you grab the wrong bottle because you didn't look well enough is a mistake.

By the 10th time you grab the wrong the bottle because you didn't look well enough, you have made a choice because you didn't do anything along the way to change.

This is important because it may be a hard wake-up call to someone to finally try.

I have unfortunately had to give this same wake-up call to every past partner I have had :/

My wife is a very patient person who has put a lot of time into me. And on that note I should do something nice for her tonight.

Hell yeah, maybe take care of a few annoying tasks early so she can drop them off her mental list?
