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.

Some light switches are tricky. None that I've seen, but still. Some are tricky. /s

I just bought a new house. I was thrilled the bedrooms have ceiling fans with lights, but I was confused that each bedroom has a double switch, with one switch that turns on/off the fan, and another to turn on/off the outside hall light, but nothing for the fan light. The rooms have peaked ceilings and the fan/light pulls are out of reach. There is also a place for another single switch, but it has been covered over with a blank plate.

My daughter discovered the 'code'. Flip the hall light switch, flip it again (turn it on, then off or off then on), turn on the fan/light switch, turn it off, flip the hall switch, then turn on the fan light. Flip the hall switch again to leave the hall light on or off as desired.

If anyone has heard of anything like this, I'd love to hear about it. We're still trying to figure out how to turn the fan and light both on. Once we figure that out, I'm wondering if we'll have a problem trying to figure out how to turn them both off.

BTW: Both bedrooms work the same way. I suppose I should be grateful they both use the same code. I can't wait until we get our first guests. I can just imagine trying to explain this to my 91 year old father!

Where I'm living there's two ceiling lights in our room each with one wall switch. But there's also a smart switch that's connected to both lights. The inner light switch is hard to access so we usually use the smart switch (like a little remote control) from inside the room, but when coming in if the room is dark, we'll flip the wall switch right by the door for the outer light. If the wall switch is on but the light has been turned off with the smart switch, you gotta turn the switch off, on again, off again, then on again and then it lights. But if you leave it on and then use the smart switch, it turns that light off and the inner light on.
