TikToker @adamxmelinda's video of her detailed list for when she has to send her husband to the store, including cut out images of what she wants him to buy, sparked a debate about 'weaponized incompetence.'

A woman on TikTok sparked a heated debate after sharing an incredibly detailed grocery shopping list—complete with a map of the grocery store—for her husband.

In her video, @adamxmelinda added the text:


"When I have to send my husband to the store."

The 14-second video shows the creator not only writing out the items in physical order from the entrance of the store, but also including the price and the aisle in which the item is located.

But that's not all!

The TikToker also included images of each item on the list and marked where every single item could be found in the store by creating and marking up a hand-drawn map.

She captioned the video:

"Who can relate? 🤣"

A few viewers of the video responded that they could actually relate to the TikToker's need for going through so much trouble.

And while the creator noted the video was meant to be entertaining, many viewers did not find any humor in it.

In fact, several noted that the woman's need to create such an insanely detailed shopping list is a result of "weaponized incompetence."

They expressed that her husband is displaying an extremely low level of competence in performing a simple task so that he either isn't asked to go grocery shopping or he is praised for completing a mediocre task.

TikToker @notwildin stitched the original video and explained what others in the comments were observing.

#stitch with @adamxmelinda this is kind of a ramble but hold it

He shared:

"What this husband is doing is exaggerating his own incompetence and exaggerating his own incapability to force the labor that they don't want to do onto their partner."

He also noted:

"That performance of incompetence is an investment that the husband is making for his future self."

Basically, "You don't have to do the thing you don't want to do."

The TikToker also likened weaponized incompetence to the privilege of mediocrity in regards to race.

"We accept the performance of incompetence and the performance of mediocrity and then accept the bare minimum."

Well said 👏 👏 👏

AOC Saves The Day By Giving Bronx Middle School Group A Tour Of The Capitol Amid Shutdown

New York Democratic Representative Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez had people cheering after she stepped in to act as tour guide after a group of middle schoolers from the Bronx pulled up to the Capitol hours after the U.S. government officially shut down.

The federal government shut down early Wednesday after the White House and Congress failed to reach an agreement on federal spending. While Senate Democrats are in the minority, they hold enough seats to filibuster and are insisting that Republicans agree to extend federal subsidies for people insured under the Affordable Care Act.

GOP Lawmaker Sparks Outrage After Calling For Dem Rep. To Be Executed For Urging People To Protest Trump

On Wednesday, September 25, an Arizona MAGA Republican state Representative publicly called for the execution of Washington Democratic Congresswoman Pramila Jayapal because she urged anyone displeased with MAGA Republican President Donald Trump's job performance to exercise their First Amendment right to free speech and to protest.

Apparently, urging citizens to make their voices heard was a step too far for Arizona state GOP Representative John Gillette, who responded to a clip edited out of a longer video by right-wing account The Patriot Oasis (TPO). A quick scan through Gillette's X account media posts will reveal his political leanings.

Liberal TikToker Mortified After Discovering That Her Therapist Is Hardcore MAGA

There used to be a time where politics did not have to come into every room or be a part of every conversation. But in a world with President Trump and MAGA, it's not as simple as being Red, Blue, or Green anymore.

Now, the sociopolitical climate is dangerous for many people and still very stress-inducing for others. It's important to surround ourselves with people who make us feel safe and seen—and unfortunately, that might mean cutting out people who have "different beliefs" than we do.
