“Weaponized incompetence,” also known as strategic or manipulative incompetence, is a tactic where someone deliberately performs poorly or feigns inability to avoid responsibility, shifting the burden onto others.

Me: “Jon the Tinker I would like you to stay on the furnace to keep me warm and the lights on.”
Jon: “Nah bruh, that brazier on the corner needs me.”
Me: “Ok buddy, if I didn’t need to you to make bricks, I would turn you into a rug.” Locks the door
Jon: “Pfft, i got this.” Runs out the door soon as I open it to leave
Me: Runs around the entire claim disabling anything and everything interactable “Fine.” Proceeds to wander around the claim area farming a bit of materials and decides to check on Jon.
Jon: Laughs in Funcom Meanwhile on a different brazier or a chair or some random other thing and perhaps for no reason at all decides o.f.o. is a better choice than following orders.
Me: Le sigh “Oubliette has a nice ring” Creates a nice prison with a chair
Jon: Deadfaced “You are not the boss of me!” Decides he doesn’t like his new arrangements and magically ports himself out, in doing so teaches all the other goomba’s to do the same.
Me: Looks in the storage box for another smelter and a spot for a new rug
