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.

    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.

    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.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    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.

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.

    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.

    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.

    ADVERTISEMENT

    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.

    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.

    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.

    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.”

    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.

    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.

    So what? I don't do that but if I did it would work just fine. The stupid s**t people get upset about makes me tell everyone to just f**k off. Get a real problem like not being able to pay your rent or something.

    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.

    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).

    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.

    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.

    On the other hand, doing it the way on the right stretches the elastic while stored, which decreases its life. Just fold them in half & stack.

    "Should be" is a personal opinion. If they're actually doing the work but it's not up to your standards, how do you think it makes him feel when he's ridiculed for it?

    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.

    Do people really tie their socks together? Granted, I don't tuck my socks in because it wears out the elastic, but I do fold my socks. I've been folding my own laundry since I was, like, five years old.

    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.

    Or.... let it sit out and get rancid. I put stuff in the fridge that's gone and dirty until I get to doing dishes just so it's not getting rotten and stinking up the house. For example, I was going to work, ate some fried shrimp I made before I left the house. I could have put empty container in the sink which would have made the home smell bad and then washed it when I got home or put it in the fridge and washed it when I got home but without the home stink.

    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.

    I do this, tbh - to prevent bugs in the inside garbage if I can't be bothered to take it outside (it's raining, etc). For me, any container that's touched food (or food remnants) needs to go directly outside if it can't be put in the dishwasher.

    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.

    And they don't spoil that way. When garbage day comes, you toss those empty shells in the garbage and put them down by the curb. Then you don't smell rancid eggs in your home between the time you cracked them open and garbage day. Fridges are great ways to store garbage so it doesn't turn rancid.

    That's smart. Sometimes a guy knows that his next dump is gonna be messier than the nearly-depleted roll of TP can handle so they bring in another roll.

    If the bottom is fine, I see no issue with this.

    I'd eat it. My oven tends to make it that way no matter the temp.

    It's slightly burnt and still edible. Too cooked for me. I'd just peal off the part I want and toss the rest.

    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.

    My girlfriend does this which leads to my kid doing it too, I'm forever finding their socks and other clothes under the coffee table or sofa.

    I'm very guilty of that! Usually pick them up in the morning/next day though

    So what? My husband leaves most of his socks on his side of the bed and when it's time for me to make a wash I ask him to look around, see if he wants to add something in the basket. Nothing wrong here. He leaves them there, just 1-2 pairs, because he might wear them again.

    This one could be worse. It’s in the fridge with other condiments, & hey, at least it won’t leak if it’s not closed properly.

    It actually balances better in the fridge that way

    Not his fault! You did not specify EQUAL halves.

    Halves must be equal, anything else is not a half but some other equation.

    Even if they're not equal, he still attempted a diagonal cut. Still way better than the middle cut.

    Halves are equal. But sometimes some halves are more equal.
