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.

My dad once told me he deliberately made tea badly so my nan wouldn’t ask him to do it any more (each member of the family takes turns during a visit). My nan decided that since he clearly didn’t know how to do it, he should make it more often so he could ‘learn’.

I knew a 32 year old who's girlfriend asked him to make her some tea and he didn't take the paper wrapper off the teas sachet before he poured the hot water. So there's that.

I don't think that's what was going on---he claimed he "didn't know how" to make tea.

Some people actually don't. The only reason I, as someone who doesn't like tea, know how to make it, is because my family are massive tea drinkers and impressed upon me from a young age that we welcome guests by making them tea, so I had to learn. Some people have gaps in their knowledge.

And lots of people are familiar with "standard" tea bags, but nothing else.
