Women have been watching in mild horror for generations as the men in their lives transform the simplest tasks into massive fails. And the men do it intentionally — a not-so-subtle tactic to ensure that women will eventually stop asking them to do anything at all.
Whether it’s leaving socks next to the hamper, misloading the laundry, or somehow turning dinner prep into a disaster zone, these guys have mastered the art of doin’ it wrong — all in the name of laziness. But watch out, boys — women are onto our little game. They’ve dubbed the practice “weaponized incompetence.” And they’re sharing photos of these everyday tasks gone intentionally awry as a warning to other women.
So prepare to be mildly infuriated as you scroll through some of the most blatant examples of weaponized incompetence.
