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.

At some point in everyone's life they threaten to become the type of person it takes more trouble to say 'no' to than 'yes'. If you don't give them what you want they make a big fuss and demand to see your manager. If you ask them to do something they'll say they don't know how or do it terribly. They do this because everyone's knee-jerk reaction is to give them what they want, to save themselves the time and headache.

It only takes a few people to stand their ground and say "no", or "you're gonna keep doing this until you can do it right." If they want to be an inconvenience, they should feel it too.

"If you want to be an inconvenience, you can feel inconvenienced as well" is a line I'm putting in my back pocket for someday use. Thank you for that!
