We’ve all seen it. Generations of women have been shaking their heads and rolling their eyes as the men in their lives somehow manage to transform the simplest of tasks into colossal fails. And let’s be real, they’re doing it on purpose — a sneaky little strategy to make sure they’re never asked to do anything again.
Whether it’s leaving dirty socks next to the hamper, loading the dishwasher all wrong, or turning a simple dinner prep into a kitchen nightmare, these guys have perfected the art of “doing it wrong.” And why? All in the name of laziness. But guess what, fellas? We’re onto you. The term for this phenomenon? “Weaponized incompetence.” Women everywhere are sharing photos of these hilariously botched tasks to warn others about this not-so-subtle tactic. Get ready to laugh (and maybe rage a little) as you scroll through these examples of weaponized incompetence.
