Can we make ‘Weaponized Incompetence’ a flair? A dangerous hurricane is on its way and hubby pretends he can’t do something as simple as buy nonperishables from the store for his family

The daughter sounds so done and I'm so proud of her. The mother is a 🤡

Pickmes are so pathetically desperate to convince everyone that their man’s worthlessness is somehow funny. Or not a big deal. Even the daughters don’t find this shit funny. But oh haha she used laughing emojis and wheezed on camera about a man who chose not to buy what his children need before a natural disaster. Heehee! So funny! 😒

Wow, tons of perishable food when the risk of electricity going out is high…

Awesome. Jfc.

I'm wondering..when did this weaponized incompetence become a thing?

I was raised by my grandparents, both born in the 1920s. Grampa was capable of cooking and cleaning and childcare competently.

The men I have dated from north Africa, southern Europe and the middle east could all do these traditionally feminine roles, usually better than me (my house was spotless and dinner was divine and frequent). They came from wildly macho cultures but their contributions were consistent. I didnt even have to ask. It was just done.They enjoyed doing those things in addition to the typically masculine household activities.

But my American boyfriends? Lawd, girl. Can't even wash a dish, do a load of laundry, maintain their own hygiene, clean up after themselves. Cooking? Forget it unless it is a frozen dinner or meat on a grill. Additionally, they never learned traditionally male roles either. Help me jump the battery in my car? Fix the clogged sink? Clean the gutters? They have no idea. Absolutely incompetent in all things except video games or playing the guitar.

How long does a hurricane last? That's a few salads...hope they have protein and cous cous in the cupboard...

tzijo · 2021-08-28T23:54:33+00:00

It's embarrassing how proud they are of stupidity.

BBQCoolRanchQueen · 2021-08-28T23:58:35+00:00

So he's basically starving his family for having the "audacity" to send him grocery shopping. A hurricane lasts a couple days. The aftermath can last anywhere from a week to a couple months, depending on the category and damage done. It took a long ass time to rebuild after Hurricane Katrina. All the shit he bought will last less than a week. She asked for non-perishable, he bought super perishable. No one can be that stupid. He truly hates his family. I'm glad his daughter is just done with his shit. Pickme mom needs to wise up and dump his useless ass.

spicyspa · 2021-08-29T01:06:38+00:00

And I bet it's the first time he bought fresh fruit and vegetables.

Thesseli · 2021-08-28T23:57:16+00:00

He is useless.

08__80 · 2021-08-29T06:40:46+00:00

hear me out - this woman and this man deserve each other, 100%. She deserves a clown that mocks her by buying bags of celery during a deadly emergency, and he deserves a clown that laughs like a chihuahua in heat and advertises his stupidity all over tiktok.

The only people who don't deserve this are those poor children. They deserve a father who cares about them and his #1 priority is to make sure they are safe and well-fed, and emotionally secure and un-stressed during this emergency, and a mother who's #1 priority is to make sure they are safe and prepared, rather than stopping everything to go eheheheheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee on a tiktok video.

I am so disgusted.

Kimpractical · 2021-08-28T21:47:04+00:00

They are doomed. Notice the pre teen daughter legit questioning her father’s choices while pickme mom cackles like banshee

kitnb · 2021-08-29T01:52:41+00:00

Throw the whole man out— along with all that celery. 🗑 🤡🙅‍♀️

Lumplebee · 2021-08-29T00:00:59+00:00

God this is cringe to watch, her “laughing” grates my ears and the daughters look pissed.

TERFSareawesome · 2021-08-29T02:08:32+00:00

I couldn't even watch this because this woman's high pitched, grating shrieking was too painful to listen to. THis is how pickmes justify their man's absolute contempt and poor treatment of them- pretending it's totally normal, hilarious, and ENDEARING. It's such a pathetic cope.

And the guy doesnt even give an F. He looks totally bored of it and just kind of shrugs and ducks out of frame. Even if you believe the obvious lie that he "didnt know what he was doing" he would have realized it when she told him, and he still didn't care. This is the reality of LVM- they care only about themselves, not the women in their lives and not their children either.

Bumble_bee_yourself · 2021-08-28T22:40:41+00:00

Incompetence is such a turn-off.

Novemberinthechair · 2021-08-29T12:46:58+00:00

He's a fucking idiot. They're playing it as cute, but it's not. Who wants to be stuck with such a fucking dummy? Why is this a thing? Her high pitched squealing is beyond annoying. The daughter is basically all, "My dad's a fucking moron."

ambgreen · 2021-08-29T16:29:20+00:00

Why is she laughing at her husband’s idiocy? Nothing about not preparing for a storm is funny, especially if they have kids.

There was a hurricane/tropical storm that hit here last weekend and I was so proud of how prepared my partner and I were. It ended up just being a bunch of rain (the weather stations had us freaking out) but it’s nice that we were prepared for the worst.

ApprehensiveGiftBox · 2021-08-29T15:15:19+00:00

Now I gotta vet if he knows how to prepare for natural disasters.

ItsFreezen · 2021-08-29T20:39:43+00:00

The laughing part is the Cope.
