Women Recall Personal Stories of Times When Their Husbands Weaponized Incompetence

If there's one thing we can't stand as women, it's weaponized incompetence. Ironic, too, since we're the ones that enable it to happen. Let us paint a picture for you. We grew up in a household with just as many boys as there are girls. But for some apparent reason, it were the girls who were always helping with chores, taking care of the household, and so on. 

Why would that be, you may ask? Well, whenever our brothers were forced to help out, they would coincidentally do everything half a$$ or even worse, break and ruin things instead. So at one point or another, they'd just be asked to stop because it would be easier for the girls to do it rather than having to rely on our brothers. And that, friends, is the story of how we grew up in a s*xist household… but that's a story for another time lol. 

Today we're bringing you a Reddit thread filled with women sharing their personal experiences of witnessing weaponized incompetence firsthand. And, well, let's just say that almost all of these made our eyeballs twitch. We hope you enjoy this cringey ride!
