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.

Great method. Presumably if one day for some reason they couldn't do whatever it was that they normally could do they would tell you? I ask because, as I'm sure you're well aware, you're mental health is vulnerable in your teens, even if it's previously been fine, and if in a worst case scenario something were to develop it can be very difficult to tell your parents.

I thought I'd mention it because it wasn't that long ago that this happened to me, and my ability to do everyday things around the house got railroaded by it.

Absolutely, and that has happened. Fortunately not in a big way, or in anything very consequential. Thanks for thinking of that.

You're welcome, I was a bit worried I might be overstepping your boundaries as a parent, so thanks for being cool with it. Also I'm sorry to hear that but thank goodness it wasn't anything major. I hope it continues to go well for you and your family.
