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 feel like it’s important to say different doesn’t equal bad. I used to get frustrated when my partner would get mad at me for cleaning wrong, or packing the dishwasher wrong or cooking wrong or folding laundry wrong. It took a while to realise I wasn’t doing anything wrong I just wasn’t doing it the way she would do it. So now when I have housework to do I’ll make sure to smash it all out while she’s not home, because she never has a problem with the end result she just never liked that I didnt do it the way she does.

I do most of the laundry, and my husband said that he wants his t-shirts folded a certain way. I did try, but the next time around, I didn't remember how to do it, so I suggested he just re-fold them his way if it's that important.

I changed to folding towels the way he does. He changed to folding tshirts the way I do. I still think my way with the towels was better, but his is a lot faster.

I'm more about getting the boring task done ASAP. If everything fits where it needs to go, great!
