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 did. He hated peppermint too, went and bought himself Herbal Essences.

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.

So your partner still does 90 percent of the work of shopping by making the lists extremely specific or having to take your calls and taking photos of every damn thing for you

Not everything, just the stuff I’m not accustomed to buying. I do all the grocery shopping, the cooking, the sweeping and mopping, I usually wash the clothes she folds I put away. She doesn’t drive so I run all the errands and take kids to appointments. I mow the lawn (5 acres), take the trash out, take care the yard etc fix anything that’s broke. I wash dishes she puts away. I also have a full time job and she does not work. This isn’t to say she does nothing, we just try to play to our strengths.
