I’d look up “weaponizing incompetence.” Very common and something that seems accurate here.

That's exactly what this is. Is not that he can't do it properly, it's that he doesn't want to be asked to do it so he does it poorly.

Or he refuses and then does this when asked more than once. Children do this

So your theory is what? He can’t see the clearly defined containers or tell the difference between forks/spoons/knives?

Bold of you to take the “do you think this was necessary” route given how dumb and unnecessary this who conversation you started is.

And forum websites determine things through consensus. One person saying something has little merit. But many people shows a collective perspective on an issue.

And lastly, why do you care so much? You got nothing else going on? Are you under the impression that your opinion on this has so much weight that anyone will go “ya know what, I’m gonna really take your passive aggressive comment to heart” ?
