Beware of incompetent people
Comments: 15
They have fewer options for self-preservation than the rest of us and will fight like shithouse rats when cornered and expected to perform. Their cunning is often inversely proportional to their talent, and it is this, sycophantically applied, upon which they rely.

I’ll buy you a beer next time I see you, if you tell me who it is you’re talking about.

Maybe you can seek out the strengths in your incompetent crowd and nurture them; use their cunning and fighting skills to your advantage. Or at the very least, sic them on one another so you can go on your competent way in peace.

The problem is that incompetence is so common in the human population that mere competence is regarded as genius.

“The problem is that incompetence is so common in the human population that mere competence is regarded as genius.”
OH MY GOD that was the finest, most insightful post ever. All spelled correctly! ;-)

Incompetence may be temporary, not so when a closed-up attitude is attached.

Esther —- well said, and you’re perfectly right. I was thinking of the chronic kind.

Armed this insight, I will never be able to deal with another checkout clerk or politician the same way ever again.

I have only just discovered myself that incompetance is the same the world over… the difference is now I can actually understand the excuses ;-)
