30 Women Infuriated The Internet By Sharing Pics Of Their Partners’ Weaponized Incompetence
No one’s immune to annoying habits; and by that, I mean both having them or finding them frustrating when others exhibit theirs. That’s likely one of the reasons people find weaponized incompetence so bothersome. It might not be a habit per se, but it does often entail people leaving empty cartons of milk in the fridge or failing to clean up after themselves, for instance.
These are just a couple of examples of such incompetence, often also referred to as strategic, when people pretend they are unable to perform a certain task—not well enough, at least—in order to avoid unwanted responsibility. Seeking to paint a clearer picture of what that is, we have gathered more examples on the list below, this time depicting boyfriends and husbands engaging in weaponized incompetence. Scroll down to view the images, but beware, some of them might make you quite annoyed just by looking at them.

He says he’s “saving it for later.” there are now ten bags with little or next to nothing in them. The problem is he never eats them, buys new ones, and after a few weeks I have to throw them away

So, you pick up his socks, get them wet under the tap, put them in a freezer bag, and then put them in the freezer. When he asks 'where are all my socks?', you can tell him.

This just baffles me, but maybe it's because when I was growing up, housekeeping was EVERYBODY'S job. I started cleaning my own room when I was about 4. I was folding laundry at about 5. I remember when I was 4 or 5, I could get my own cereal. I was helping pick up around the house at 8. When I was 8, I remember when my Mom came home with groceries, we all pitched in to carry and put away. By ten, I was cleaning house, doing laundry, scrubbing garbage cans, doing dishes, mowing the lawn, and doing home repairs. My brother taught me to sew when I was 10. Another brother taught me to iron when I was 13. Another brother taught me to cook around the same time. Basically, by the time I was 13, my parents could leave me home alone for weeks at a time and I could take care of myself as long as I had money for food. Maybe the lesson here is that if kids are raised doing chores, as adults they know what to do.

Same, friend XD I was adopted into a Mexican family. In a traditional Hispanic family, the children help out around the house and start doing (light) cleaning and chores at a very early age (I vaguely remember starting to help with dusting and sweeping at age 4 or so.) Laundry folding by age 5. My dad taught me all the “traditionally done by a man” duties/chores too; he wanted me to be able to take care of things myself when I was an adult. I can’t say I’m perfect at everything now, at age 41 (almost 42, lol), but I know how to do a lot of tasks decently well, at least. And I can do basic mechanic work on cars, too XD

The most entertaining part of this post is Paul k. Johnson's comments think he is mad at the world because he can't get a girlfriend.
