I hate men so much they literally are like this. Purposeful incompetence to avoid responsibilities they don’t want …………… the comments on this post on fb were So bad
Save the leftovers. Throw the whole man out.
Imagine being this fucking petty over a reasonable request to do even a fraction of the share of housework, and thinking you’re a good partner.
Makes you understand how so many dudes can be clueless and full of shit on so many other topics, too.
I hope his wife poured a glass of spaghetti and gulped it slowly while making steady eye contact with him as her lawyer presented the divorce papers.
“Haha, that’ll TEACH my wife!!”
Dude, you’re supposed to LOVE her. I hope she sees this and dumps your worthless ass. While she has that glass of spaghetti.

Don’t put up with stupid. If your husband or boyfriend does this may I suggest… well… treating him like the idiot he pretends to be? Use it as a “teaching moment.”
“Honey come here. I’m sorry. I didn’t realize you didn’t know what Tupperware you have to use. Here, let me explain every container we have. That way the next time you have to put food away you know which container to use.”
And then proceed, in excruciating detail, which containers are which, what they are used for, the correct lids, and how to put on the lids. Do it in as condescending voice as possible.
If he tries to say that he knows, or tries to stop you in any way, just calmly say, “no, you shouldn’t be embarrassed by this. It’s okay to admit you don’t know how to do something. Next time just ask, sweetie.” And continue in as much inane detail as possible.
If he tries this bullshit again, pat him on the head, and say “good try, but let’s review” and then do it all over again.
or maybe just, you know, dump the whole husband???
yes, the entire man
“How dare Woman ask me, A Man, to Do Things To Help Around The House!”
– Literally the mentality of the person who did this
I mean, I’m an absolutely terrible housekeeper even discounting my fucked up body and my depression and ADHD
But even before I became cognizant of my bullshit I wasn’t THIS asshole
Plus this wasn’t a case of them either not being able to help or else meaning well but making a mistake here…the asshole who did this literally just did it to try and get their wife to not ask them to help out again
Like its totally fair to have trouble with housekeeping and stuff if some tasks are hard to do for one reason or another either physically or because of things like depression and ADHD but this guy literally just got offended at their wife asking them to put some spaghetti in the fridge in a container and decided to be a dick and do the Worst Possible Job At It just to be a jerk to someone who loves them…
My ex husband was a master at this. At 7 months pregnant and STILL puking into ziplocs 15 times a day, he claimed not to know how to make egg salad and wheedled until I got out of bed and made a batch. He then grinned and confessed he knew how, he just hadn’t wanted to expend the effort.
So my next vomit party (like maybe 3 minutes later, it was extreme when I wasn’t medicated) I aimed for his sandwich, because fuck that.
Don’t ever try to manipulate me through feigned incompetence. I will make you pay through the nose for it.
Ok. So. A few years ago a really popular meme on anonymous married women’s sex blogs to say “there’s nothing sexier than a man who does housework.”
Extensive research and followups say this isn’t actually true.
Women are turned on by basic worthiness.
This isn’t the same thing as the stupid misogynist/incel meme that women only “give” sex as a reward. Boy, it’s not that she’s going to “reward” you for putting away the goddamn spaghetti right. It’s that nobody wants to fuck a contemptible loser. And that shit right there? Putting spaghetti in a goddamn knockoff Rubbermaid juice container? Ahahaha, what a fucking toolbag! Nobody wants to fuck a toolbag, champ. That’s just not gonna start.
