This Is What Weaponized Incompetence Looks Like: 25 Photos Women Shared Of Their Boyfriends' Infuriatingly Inconsiderate Habits

If you've ever had a boyfriend, you know that *most* of them have annoying — if not outright infuriating — habits. Sometimes, however, these "habits" are actually weaponized incompetence (when one person in a relationship pretends to be "bad" at doing simple tasks to avoid responsibility), and sadly, these unfortunate partners know all about it. From refusing to wash dishes to leaving used dental floss around the house, here are 25 photos that prove boyfriends can be the WORST:
