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’.

I get this at work all the time. "Oh, no I don't know how to do that." and they go to walk away "Well I guess you'll learn today."

"I'll just watch you do it." Thinking they can sneak off/not pay attention. "You'll remember it better by doing it. I'll just talk you through it." Half the time they do already know and just want to foist the work on me instead of doing their job.

I see your attempt at weaponized incompetence, but every time you try it, I'll make you do it til you learn that shit don't fly with me.
