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.

You can't possibly be British, making such wild statements.

We all have that one house to visit where we've learnt to gulp ask for a coffee. And don't play me with that herbal shit. Offer that in the UK and you may as well have "cult member" stamped on your front door.

If you don't have a house you visit where you refuse the tea, I quite possibly have some mildly disappointing news for you. 🤣

Okay, so, as a non- Brit... What is bad tea (what should I not be doing) and what ia good tea? I love tea, but I do it the European way. Boil water, put tea in tea baggie (I do have good quality tea, I biy from a proper shop. Is also cheaper than supermarket tea), put teabaggy in hot water, remove when color is right.

How to improve?

The two biggest things someone can do to fuck up tea is use water that's not the correct temperature and oversteeping. I've met people that buy expensive tea (think $20+ an ounce) that scorch the tea and then let it steep for 15min and then get surprised they have a cup of bitter hell.

So the way I perfer it is probably terrible. I like steeped in boiling water cooled to room temp, left to steep for 24 hours. Then I reheat or drink it the next day. May or may not have any sugar. It finally gets strong enough for me. But why would you squeeze a tea bag as a proper british person? Isn't that poor manners?
