institutionalized incompetence

When a dysfunctional institution teaches and embraces incompetence as though it is the pinnacle of competence because it is so embedded in its culture.

How does one truthfully explain something like the post office or the prison industrial system to a child without in some way making a reference to institutionalized incompetence?

Buffer of Incompetence

The person that is worse at their job than you. The person that will be fired if there are layoffs.

Crap... Steven got let go; he was my buffer of incompetence. I'll have to step it up.

Incomperstandable

Someone whom is so unbelievably incoherent and incompetent, that you are simply unable to withstand them. This usually occurs with someone you have to work with or be with for a long period of time.

Guy: “ughh I can’t work with Mike anymore he’s an idiot.”
Girl: “Okay let’s try to get him fired.”
Guy: “Should be easy he’s freaking incomperstandable.”

incomputerado

without a computer or computer access, as incommunicado is without communication

I went on vacation without any of my high tech toys, being virtually incomputerado until my return.

Infomercial Fail

To fail amazingly badly at a basic or simple task. Infomercials use this kind of exaggerated, highly unlikely failure to demonstrate the nonexistent or dubious "problem" the product in question supposedly solves (i.e. trying to crack an egg into a bowl and instead splattering egg and crushed shell pieces all over everything within three feet, hammering a nail into drywall and sending the hammer right through the wall, eating a sandwich and having its entire contents fall directly into your lap, etc.).

Just full-on infomercial failed at cracking an egg. Twice.

Institutional Incompetence

How ever much money, time & training, large government departments and publicly run local bodies etc cannot get anything right.

For two weeks bad weather is forecast, 4 inches of snow falls, the country is ground to a halt, closed airports, railways, roads & schools, caused by institutional incompetence.
