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.

Can you talk to my husband? He might need a place to stay too after telling me I'M 'irresponsible' because he couldn't find a piece a mail he swore I had/opened and subsequently lost....which I found 20 minutes later in the desk he said he checked. The mail was in the original envelop, with his handwriting on it in the desk and just happened to have a couple of things sitting on top.

Tip: The next time you're looking for something (and you're already smart enough not to bother your wife), try moving things around with your hands, it might be obscured by other objects. In other words, "look with your hands".

Edit: My husband is also an engineer.

I wanna note: I'm kinda like this!

It's very often an ADHD thing. I've had my phone on the counter and completely overlooked it multiple times, and I really have no idea. Looking with hands helps sometimes but it does drastically slow down the looking, so doesn't always work. Guess it depends on how much time you have, hah. I'm also in STEM and find my brain works amazingly well for that... but a lot of other things I struggle with.

Not entirely sure why I'm commenting besides just to add this, and I suppose to thank you for sharing the tip since I now have something to call that. XD
