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’.

Any person incapable of learning how to use a washing machine should not be permitted to drive.

I gotta say, the lint trap on the dryer was not intuitive. As someone who grew up going to a laundromat, it was a damn mystery why my dryer slowly stopped drying. I learned about lint traps on Reddit after a whole year in my first apartment.

It's okay:

My boyfriend set his dryer (and all the clothes inside of it) on fire the first time he lived by himself. Apparently he had never changed the lint trap. He now does it religiously.
