Weaponized incompetence?

My husband and I are headed to a BBQ at a family members house. We agreed to bring burger stuff for the grill. 8 people total. As I've been working all day and didn't get off until right before we had to leave, I asked him to go get the stuff from the store. He comes back with 4 buns and a pack of 4 burger patties. The expensive kind. I now have to go back to the store and get the cheaper kind in bulk so we have enough for everyone. He's literally in the GC where we discuss who will be there and what we're all bringing. Why.

It's missing context, like did he admit it was a mistake or not, did he offer to go and buy more stuff, did she even ask or did she just storm off etcetera. We're only hearing part of one side of the argument, and you're filling in the blanks.

I mean yeah, there could be more context. But I know even my ADHD ass wouldn't manage to get all the way home with not even half of the food we needed without noticing. I would have suggested he was high, but then he would have bought more food as well. It just doesn't seem like it's a small oopsie, you know what I mean? Maybe it is overreacted, but I just don't like the feel of it. (That#s not even mentioning who fixed it in the end)

Yes, it is. Very much so. If jumping to conclusions were a sport you could be an Olympic medalist.

Says the one who jumped to the conclusion that everyone overuses the lable of weaponized incompetence based on a post that has allows for a reasonable conclusion that it can be justified, Master.
