Do you know what weaponized incompetence is?

[purplepoppy]

Is it where you destroy a countries skill base by discouraging education or promoting nonsense jobs? Here in the UK we've got kids who want to be influencers and gamers and think education is pointless. I reckon in a few years we won't be able to function

[ohsheeT]

I'm not really for sure but I think it's when your lazy partner can not see past his nose. And thinks the world revolves around them and thinks his partner became his partner to be his mother caregiver etc. And won't get off his lazy ass and do something good for his partner like help clean the house do the dishes do the laundry cook dinner you know be a human being I'm not really for sure but I think it's something like that

[lightbulb27]

i assume "I don't know how to do that", therefore, I can't do it, you have to... so let me get back to my TV show.

this is the opposite of me, wife has to pull me out of tasks... albeit, sometimes, I'm still incompetent.

[Blackcosmo]

I think it means at times you say you are incapable of doing certain tasks you don't want to do. I also got some of this information from the image you showed. It seems like the guy is refusing to help the woman with cleaning (or something).

[Lliam]

Is it like a person in a service position being deliberately unhelpful by feigning incompetence just to fuck you around. I think of some government bureaucrats.

[FilmGuy93]

I do know what it is! This is just my personal opinion, but it seems like 95% of what women consider weaponized incompetence is actually just women not clearly communicating what they actually want done.

[RavVid]

Other than deliberately stuffing things up I don't know. I can see an accident happening with that bucket...

[Birdlegs]

That’s what I would do with my mom if she made me angry with how she told me to do things I would do it so poorly that she would come and fix it

[Sixgunsound]

The war typical government employees wage on the people who pay their exorbitant salaries and benefit packages?

[NathanDavis]

I did not know that was/there was a the term for it... but I instantly figured it out with the picture... lol

[ODC2112]

Weaponized incompetence is a form of projection with which some people complain in others that they do not do because they declare they are not capable, when they are the first to fail because they declare that they are not capable.

[jshm2]

Yes.

But you've obviously a preconceived notion of it you want to make a drama about.

So you go right ahead with your myTake.

[AviatorTom]

From the picture, it sounds like the guy is a lazy SOB and is about to be weaponized by the woman dumping the wet contents of the bucket on his head.

[Paul_in_Indy]

I think it’s a phrase that doesn’t mean what you think it means.

[notwoke]

having the least productive members of society elect the least capable leaders because they check the right "diversty" boz or because they look like them?

[Agagagagaga]

Wasn’t that Joe Biden’s nickname during the Obama years?

[SeekingVirginWife]

The guy in the picture is a perfect example of weaponized incompetence.

[Redstang88]

Not sure but it sounds like the job description of most politicians

[ArtemisSilver]

Basically just passive aggression and malicious compliance.

[MrJMM]

I think it is this weaponized incompetence is when a partner exaggerates their inability to perform simple tasks like cleaning, cooking, or making plans, to shift the burden of responsibility back to the other partner.

[Snakeyes7]

I think of the Calvin and Hobbes joke when Calvin said that if you do a job poorly enough, you will not be asked to do it again.

[Creampiekarl420]

[Shy_Steve]

I think it's when you accidentally Kill or severely Injure someone while being Incompetent, But I have been wrong before.

[JohnK123]

How does that image represents weaponized incompetence?

That’s purely just asking Bc I’m curious
