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.

My Boyfriend's Job Title Is Actually "Solutions Engineer." This Was His Solution
Avoids the issue of which direction to insert the roll--each user can easily change it to fit their preference.
My Boyfriend : *Does The Dishes* The Sink :
Ugh. My pet hate apart from a sink piled high with dishes is people leaving actual FOOD on them.
Same, partner puts basically full plates of food in the sink of water 😬 raging
Load More Replies...Is that a bandaid wrapper too? My partner also doesn't wash out or wipe down the sink if they do dishes. They are also really awful at stacking dirty dishes so the counter space stays clean and clear. Nope. Anywhere on the counter that's adjacent to the sink is "good enough", and never mind that we've a tray for all the dirty cutlery together.
Yep. Those need to be washed with soap and clean water after every use. I only use one for dishes for a month, then it gets thrown in the washing machine and becomes a house cleaning sponge.

I can find a context/justification for just about everything other than the red pencil.
You knew to bring it there. I'm telling you, you are totally capable of taking all that away
if he cares so little about the minor things, how could you trust him with important tasks, say, taking care of a child?
Dirty socks on the floor, unwashed dishes in the sink, dust balls forming in the corners of the room—these are just a few examples of things that tend to pile up if a person fails to tidy up after themselves or do a regular clean up. And while it’s clear that not everyone is equally eager to clean their home, most would agree that the majority of adults are at least capable of taking care of such mundane tasks.
Yet some people don’t, and not because they don’t know how to, but because they don’t feel like it; and that’s when weaponized incompetence comes into play. Also known as strategic incompetence, the term refers to the deliberate feigning of incompetence in order to avoid certain tasks or responsibilities, typically resulting in situations like the ones depicted on this list.
How My Boyfriend Packed Up A Moving Box With Kitchen Stuff While I Was At Work
And it could make a mess. I mean what if a knife punctures one of the bottles
Load More Replies...He can unpack and repack that box properly, or if not now, then write his name on this box, and he can unpack and put those contents away at your new place.
seen this one. I had desperate moving situation that ended like this. mishandled title transfer back in 1993. The only box I had was for the BLINDS! And I had to empty the fridge and get out. So comical me driving around with clanking jars in a 4 inch wide, 3 foot long box. On top of that. trying to call people on a Saturday with no cell phone. Drove to my office, then new place,then back to office, etc. Still live there, so happy ending, but lucky to have an assertive wife.
I'll bet those who dared to get in the way between her and the kitchen did not leave unscathed

Please talk to your husband. Also, if you are a serve at the table family, have him set the table. If you bring him any food that requires cutlery, don't bring him any cutlery. He can get it himself. These kind of people aren't bothered by this kind of stuff until it affects them personally. He knows better. Don't let him get away with this.
I live by myself and I am not the best house keeper but even this is unacceptable to me. I keep my silverware cabinet neat.
According to Forbes, weaponized incompetence might seem benign, but in reality, it can accentuate the often unequal division of chores between partners even more and lead to long-term negative effects on their relationship.
Finding themselves in such a situation, those exposed to their partner’s strategic incompetence might say that when they ask for help, they often have to explain things in great detail or eventually (re)do it themselves. Situations like these are likely to strain the relationship, as shifting nearly all the responsibility onto one set of shoulders tends to lead to stress and other detrimental consequences.
Husband Put His Pants Right Beside The Laundry Basket Instead Of Just In It
And that is where they will stay until he puts them either in the basket or washing machine.
Every. Damn. Day. We even talked about it. I asked if having a hamper in their corner of the room would help, they agreed. I bought a second hamper that sits directly beside their nightstand. They now claim they can't see it in the dark. It's the corner of the room. There's a window right there. You can make a pretty educated guess, and just toss it in that direction. The clothes pile up directly where my partner lets them fall, and always at least a foot away from the hamper. No closer. Our KID doesn't even need their own hamper! They toss their dirty laundry right in the hamper as soon as they change out of it! Floor laundry does not get washed in this house; I'm not picking up after a whole grown adult.
Just let him do his own laundry. As you said, he's a grown a*s man and you're his partner, not a maid. I'd bet his clothes would start hitting the hamper.
Load More Replies...I have to say, I would bung them in the bedroom trash basket (so he had a chance to see and rescue them). No comment, just anything left on the floor goes in the bin.
At our house any clothes on the floor stay there to collect dust and pet fur until the owner takes responsibility.
Load More Replies...This was my Late Hubby. But he was an awesome, caring, loving man who treated me like a Goddess, so in the long run, it was a minor irritation. I miss him so much.
And he still wears batman undies? Illustrates the level of maturity involved here...
My Husband Carries Doughnuts Vertically
Ok but what is that horrendous fruit loop looking thing in the bottom?
This Is How My Husband Opens The Bread If I Don’t Get To It First. Just Rips A Hole In The Bag And Leaves It Open Like This Too
Nooooooo! Buy your own loaf and keep it tucked away. He can use the green crouton bread. Another suggestion? I also hate those stupid bread clips (though that doesn't cause me to tear into the bag like a starved animal...) it might MAYBE help to get a pinch clip to keep the bag closed. If not, then buy bread for yourself.
Licensed marriage and family therapist Claudia de Llano seconds the idea that weaponized incompetence creates an imbalance in a romantic relationship, as one of the partners is forced to carry the majority of the load.
“An imbalance of responsibilities can lead to conflicting feelings about the relationship,” she told VeryWell Mind. “While you may love your partner and care about them, you may also grow frustrated and start to resent them for not helping out more.”
Lacking support from your partner, even if in regards to something as mundane as taking care of the dishes, might lead to bigger problems over time, such as trust and communication issues or emotional disconnection.
My Adult Boyfriend Thinks This Counts As Clean (No That's Not Rust)
These totally look like when my husband washes dishes and pans. So I wash them all again, every time
Which is their goal. Get you to do it from now on, instead of staying strong and making him do them over and over until he gets it right.
Load More Replies...Wait. Where's Paul??? What shall we do without his witty banter on this post? How shall the world continue turning without his illiterate incel rantings?
Even Paul seems to have limitations. He didn't comment on the one where they were putting all their garbage back in the pantry, either. You know it's BAD when Paul says nothing 😆
Load More Replies...He knows that they're not clean - typical weaponized incompetence from a lazy man
Mine cleans the inside just fine. Never washes the outside and still stacks them together.
Came To The Kitchen To Find Out That My Boyfriend Hung The Towel Like This
That's silly. It's good he at least hung it instead of leaving it wadded on the counter lol
Found My Husband's Stash Of Empty Wrappers
I did this once under the couch when I was having bad anxiety and depression, check if he ok
So the bottled water makes up for the M&Ms, Toffee, Smarties, Maltesers, etc....is he fat? If not, he soon will be!
Be it picking up socks, doing the dishes, or any other seemingly mundane task, some people might take frustratingly long taking care of it; sometimes purposefully so. According to the relationship coach John Kenny, also known as the Relationship Guy, when it comes to weaponized incompetence, doing something in a way that aggravates, irritates, or upsets one’s partner and eventually gets them to step in is the end goal. “It is a passive-aggressive way of getting someone to do something that you just, well, really don’t want to do.”
My Husband Put This Much Milk Back In The Fridge
As a mother of 2 sons, I believe that's a male thing. Along with holding the fridge door open while staring deeply into it.
I do it. I'm female. That is enough milk for me to have two cups of tea
Load More Replies...That's so he doesn't have to go get more...,.he didn't finish it !! So my house !
my son does this all the time - i just let it go now....i think i've got upset about this over a hundred times. I've learned to copy his actions by eating all the chips and snacks and just leaving 1 of it left ;) It brings me joy ;)
What does Paul's comment mean? How does it relate to the small puddle of milk?
How My Husband Wrote The Date That He Opened This Orange Juice
If you wrote “expires tomorrow” your would be able to store it for an infinite amount of time :Þ
Today is the greatest Day I've ever known Can't live for tomorrow Tomorrow's much too long I'll burn my eyes out Before I get out
Thanks for the earworm hawaiian (which is the best pizza ever, BTW).
Load More Replies...When Your Husband Does The Laundry
Per OP, this wasn't him adding detergent this way. He had already added the detergent but the pack fell in and he wasn't paying any attention at all, which kind of his default setting.
Load More Replies...This looks like an accident. They or the cat probably knocked the bag in, and they didn't see it.
Mine throws the empty box for the dryer sheets in the dryer..... instead of telling me we're out or going and buying more lol How do they think this works !!!????
Are all these husbands/boyfriends morons. I am in my mid sixties. Even when I was a young person starting out, I would know better than that.
The relationship expert emphasized that sometimes people are genuinely incapable of doing certain things for one reason or another, no matter how seemingly primitive they are; that’s when it’s important to be patient and show empathy. However, if these scenarios continue to repeat themselves, such behavior can become a manipulative tool used to get (out of) what they want, tolerating which might not be a good idea.
My Husband Bought Memory Foam For “His Side Of The Bed”
Like that's going to work? But really, I think there might be a deeper issue here.
Yeah that bed is too small for two normal sized adults to collect sufficient hours of rest.
Load More Replies...I would seriously put aside an hour of my life to grab a Sharpie, draw a jigsaw pattern on this (after cutting it to fit exactly on his side of the bed) then chopping it into pieces for him to put together. Then every day until he bought a real memory foam topper to fit the entire bed I would take it apart, throw the pieces in a duvet cover and shake it all up. And I would tell him I didn’t have time to make his evening meal because I was having too much fun. Every day.
this isn't incomptence or laziness...this is disdain...i don't think you can fix this...but if you want to, start now with w/ a professional so you don't waste too much of your life on him
But his wife will have no trouble recalling this. Ever.
Load More Replies...His side is more than half the width. What piece of c**p treats a spouse this way, and don't you allow it!
The Way My Husband Unpacked The Book Boxes
Meh. The box is gone and you're going to rearrange the books to your satisfaction anyway. It can sit this way until you get the time.
Load More Replies...meh. I understand unpacking like this when you're just moving in somewhere. Get them organized later. Totally get it. It takes me forever to organize a new bookshelf so working on them in the moment might be a bit overwhelming.
It doesn't even matter how we unpack them since they are gonna get rearranged anyway.
I would be asking him to re-do it the right way, no way to treat books.
How My Husband Stacks Plates And Platters
I do live with an intelligent man called 'husband' who does this and yes, it does drive me mad!
Load More Replies...My land I feel such an urge to downvote every one of these until I remember the vote isn't the reaction to the half-assery, but in commiseration with the victims of the half-assery.
According to a survey of over a thousand married Americans, not contributing enough to household chores is one of the things that annoy people about their spouses the most, followed closely by being a slob; both of which can become problems of way larger proportions if the spouse also engages in strategic incompetence.
Things that seemingly frustrate people about their significant others even more, though, are the latter having selective hearing, snoring, being too controlling or not financially responsible enough.
The Way My Husband Wraps Gifts
Worked at a store that offered free gift wrapping in the cosmetics department. Guys would ask me if the wrapping was really free and I would say “Yes, it is free. Unless you want me to make it look like you wrapped it, and then I charge.” Guys would laugh out loud. Women never “got” it.
I wrap gifts like a butcher wraps pork chops so hey! At least I wash, cook, clean sew and iron correctly!
I must admit, I enjoy gifts for what's inside the wrapping paper. If that messy clump contains a new meat thermometer or several different types of seasoning, I'm coming away happy!
The Only Thing I Asked For Was Hamburger Buns. Husband Comes Back With This And This Only
Yes, of course, but that’s not the point. OP asked for one item in specificity. OP’s husband brought back the wrong item. Can OP make it work? Yes. Is that the point? No XD (personally, I prefer patty melts on bread vs buns, but that’s just me.)
Load More Replies...I see Paul K Johnson just out there being all cunty and showing us what type of man he is.
I wanted blocks of cream cheese once, he brought me tubs of sour cream instead. TWICE! I told him eff off, no cheesecake this weekend. My car is in the shop you jerk, I can't go to the store myself, just get me what I need! It's actually funny though. He's the one looking forward to the cheesecake that never got made because of his tantrum over grocery shopping for me.
That would make excellent hamburger buns for adults. Make square patties and you have gourmet burgers.
My Husband Puts This Much Food Back In The Fridge To Avoid Doing The Dish
According to Gallup’s data, women tend to take care of a larger chunk of household chores, especially in regards to cooking, cleaning, taking care of the house and the children. (Though yard work and car maintenance remain primarily the men’s responsibilities.)
That might be one of the reasons why married and cohabiting men seem to be more satisfied with the way household chores are divided between them and their partner. Back in 2020, as much as 55% of men were very satisfied with this aspect of their relationship, compared with 38% of their female counterparts, Pew Research Center reports (marking an increase from 49% for the former and a decrease of 1% for the latter compared to 2019).
The Way My Husband Stacks Up His Used Coffee Spoons In Our Spoon Rest, And Won’t Put Them In The Dishwasher!
Time to get your own spoon that you use for everything and hand wash when you're done. He'll run out of spoons eventually.
That's what I ended up doing for drinking glasses. My partner and my kid use a different glass for every drink they go get. I bought a tumbler for my water. I don't wash the glasses unless company is coming. If they need a glass, they can damn well wash one.
Load More Replies...My husband will rinse the spoon and put it on the dish mat, gets grumpy when he can't find it cause I put in the sink to put in the dishwasher after supper. I mean we have a dishwasher and it's not like he has to wash the dishes by hand, and it's me doing the dishes anyway..
Is there any social avoidance? If so, this could be early phase gomi-yashik.

I Tore My Rotator Cuff So My Husband Told Me He’d Finish The Interior Painting On Our Downstairs. He Says He’s Done
I’d hope so. My hubby would remove the coat hanger completely, paint the wall and then rehang the coat hanger. Why would anyone do otherwise? Myself included. 🙂
Load More Replies...you need to put an 'ex' in front of that boyfriend...imagine having kids with this "man"
There are sexy time strategies that will really get an anaolgy stuck in his head to remember the comparison...if ya know you know ;)
You know how it used to be so easy to stick women in asylums this is asylum worthy behavior for him and you know if he had hired someone to do it he would have a vein popping out of his forehead at this quality of effort.
Very artistic! Plus, where would you put the jackets & hats while the paint dries? Would you tolerate having them dumped on the sofa?
Needless to say, not all male partners engage in weaponized incompetence; not only that, women are equally as capable of doing a bad job with certain chores, too, seeking to never have to do them ever again. But no matter who is behind this kind of behavior, chances are that in the long run, it won’t make the relationship any better for either of the people involved.
Husband Put Up The Groceries Today…
What's the bet that Paul lives in his mums basement. He is currently jacking off to all his amusing comments on here.🤡
Why so hostile, Paul. It's getting beyond tedious now and you're asking for a ban.
What is this "Pastaroni" thing? It says "Garlic and Olive Oil Vermicelli". In Italy this is often called "Midnight Pasta" because everyone has some long pasta, some garlic and some olive Oil handy to feed friends after a night out. I fail to see what could be in the box, since the "...roni" thing is usually an add-on of some kind to add to something you already have. Is it a box of pasta? The whole point of Garlic and oil pasta is that anyone that can boil water can make it.=====EDIT: I looked it up. They say to cook it with butter and then add the "special sauce". Butter? The box says "Olive Oil". I am so confused. You end up spending $1.50 for a dish that has been a meme in Italy for generations as a bachelor dish anyone can cook.
There is a packet of flavorings you add to the water. I have used these, and they're not half bad if you're in a hurry. Had one tonight, The Angel Hair and Herbs flavor. I added sun dried tomatoes and cream. Delicious.

Used clothes onto clean ones? That's how you breed vermin, some accidental insect or arachnid creeps from there and settles down.
Load More Replies...I understand the system, you hang the clean clothes, but the jean are not clean and not dirty enough to need washing. He needs a not yet shelf to replace the floor.
My ex-husband hated the dedicated chair for clothes that could be worn again. He felt leaving them crumpled on the floor next to the bed was a much more aesthetic solution.
His poor mother - bet she spent years trying to hang up his clothes.....
My Husband Leaving Car Like That Every Single Time I'm About To Use It
As a child my mom taught me to make sure you always have at least enough gas to make it to the hospital, unfortunately she learned that during an event where my older brother required stitches.
That seems very inconvenient to him --- has to drive dozens of hours just to empty it.
this isn't different cleaning standards....he is telling you that his time and money are more valuable to him than your time (and possibly safety)...that's unlikely to change for the better with time....time to value your time more than him
Just deduct the gas cost from his money.I've never really minded filling up the car, It's just a relief to be able to do so without having to time your squeeze to the penny.
Put only in gas in there for you to use it and the next he wants to use it he will have to put gas in the car.

My Husband Keeps Opening New Jars Of Jam Before He's Even Finished The Last One
It's possible - unlikely, but possible - that the husband is the one who keeps buying more.
Load More Replies...I would hide them or refuse to buy more until he finishes the old one. Seriously, how is this possible for adult?
I had a vice where I refused to eat any jam that anybody else used when I was younger. I had a real germ phobia.
Take them all out and get a big tupperware container to combine all the non moldy ones, then don't buy any new ones, and no you should not have to do this.
My Husband Throws Away Trash Directly Into The Pantry
Dear Mr. Paul didn't have a comeback for this one. Looks like even HE has limits lol.
I would not want to be the man whose WORSE than paul
Load More Replies...At this point throw the whole husband out with the trash, If he thinks of it like a holding space for trash he's going to throw away later, just reason with him that there's no need to keep trash. I say this as someone whose father once giftwrapped trash as a present for my mom at their 25th anniversary party.

The Way My Boyfriend Sliced This Avocado
Looking at the slice on the far right, it appears he does intend to remove the pit.
I'm more impressed with the sharpness of that knife
Load More Replies...Two things: one. if the knife is quality and/or sharp enough to do this, it's a crime to use it this way. Two. That guy is gonna have the knife slip off the avocado pit at some point, and slicey-dicey his own hand instead.
Gonna blunt that good knife. Otherwise, this is a way simpler way of getting the pit out.
My Husband Leaves A Tiny Bit In The Bottom Of Snack Bags And Puts Them Back In The Cabinet
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
Empty them all into a bowl and make a Munchies mix. I do this with cereal and find it much more enjoyable.
Husband did this until I said I didn’t pick up new bag because when I looked I saw bags in there , figured he still had some. Now he finishes them and finds the trash can.
just add them all together and make like a cool mix bag of whatevers
You wouldn't have to worry about me, I don't like food eing wasted. I try to get every crumb out of a bag I can.
I'm guilty of this one myself. I intend to transfer what's left into the new bag when I get it, but frequently forget to, and there they sit until I have no room left on the shelf and have to go through the stuff and toss out the old ones.
Instead Of Putting A Bag In The Trash My Husband Puts It On The Counter For Me
Gross. Tell him to stop, that's disgusting. If he won't then move it to his computer desk or favorite spot on the couch.
My six years old can put a bag without even me telling them...
How My Boyfriend Folds Socks Versus How They Should Be Folded
Yip as long I as I don't have to wear them,I couldn't care less how my husband would fold his socks
No one needs to waste time folding socks. If anyone in my house wants neatly paired and folded socks after I've washed, dried, sorted and put it all away, they can take care of it themselves.
I'm surprised how this is a complaint. He's folding his own clothes. Just take the win on this and release your perfectionist vision of how life "should" be.
I buy all the same socks so any two you grab match. No sorting, no folding.
I can't fold my husband's socks because if I did I'd throw out all the ones with holes in them and then he'd have no socks.
I buy a monster pack of the socks my husband likes then just stack them in the drawer. Doesn't matter if they're in pairs because they're all the same. When one develops a hole, just throw it away. Yes, sometimes there is an odd number of socks for a short time until another develops a hole. No folding, no worrying about missing socks, just a stack of the same socks he can wear, two at a time.

He's mad because his ex complained about this stuff too.
Load More Replies...It's tricky to pour that last bit of unfragmented cereal out from the box without spilling crumbs and dust into your bowl. You can either throw them away with the box (it's usually just a single spoonful's worth), or you can take the time to scoop them out with a fork (or with your fingers, in a pinch). But, please, don't put the box back into the cabinet, fooling the person who comes after you into thinking there's still a decent portion of cereal remaining.

Husband Keeps Putting His Shoes On Top Of My Shoes
It's less equal, but high ankle boots need to go on the top shelf because they don't fit properly in the middle sections. Move your low-tops to the middle section and leave the top for the boots. Edit: OP followed up w/ husband after this was pointed out in the comments and agreed she hadn't thought about that. She has since agreed to let the boots use the top.
Tom puts his shoes on the designated place for his shoes, I don't see the problem.
Well you are putting your shoes on the top row, which should be reserved for boots. The rest of the racks are too narrow.
Actually boots fit fine and should be at the bottom so all the crud on the bottom of the boots doesn't fall on and In everyone else's.

My Husband Always Puts The Empty Nasty Egg Shells Back In The Egg Holder Instead Of In The Garbage. 🤢
They can be used in the garden as compost and they better dry out first. I have a small container for that, but it's not that awful for me.
This Paul K Johnson comments are more entertaining than the posts themself. Obviously trolling and/or is a single Incel... or both
I put them back in the egg holder while I'm cracking them, but then take the egg holder to the bin to throw them away afterwards. Maybe he forgot? I've absent-mindedly done that before.

Husband Puts His Coffee Mug Next To 2 Empty Coasters
I always forget to use the coasters. Even the one I made with my name on it. I don't really care that much, I'm the one who owns and cleans the coffee table.
Coasters are stupid when you have a tall cup with a narrow bottom. It just makes the cup even taller, and way easier to spill, especially when your coasters are as ridiculously thick as these ones are.

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

Could have done a thread about 'weaponized incompetence', without the misandry. Or what's actually more likely laziness, carelessness and messiness, which is found in both men and women. Could have also done a thread on 'harboring resentment vs problem-solving', and 'people who need to find their voices'.
But that would not be nearly as good as clickbait.

He speaks for immature little baby man children. Although, my bet is that he still lives in mommy's basement, so never has ever told him what a douche he is, except for online, which doesn't count, as that is where he is an alpha male. LOL.
Spoken like a true simp. Somewhere Phil Donahue is applauding you.

It's my theory that every "incompetence" done by these men is done strategically. You see, if they do the task incorrectly or badly enough times the women - who are asking for it to be done and have an expectation of it being done to a certain level - will do it themselves. This is what these men want, for the women to not only do the task but keep it as their job long-term, because they know the men can't do it properly.
Correct. Definition explanation of weaponized incompetence.
