Strategic Incompetence

Purposely performing a task so poorly as to discourage being assigned this task again, but not poorly enough to be fired

Cube Dweller1: Dude, writing the weekly report is a sucky job; how do I get out of it?

Cube Dweller2: Just screw up some people's names and swap some people's tasks, nobody will want you to do it again

Cube Dweller1: Ahh....Strategic Incompetence....a fine idea....my inner slacker is jumping for joy!

Selective incompetence

Something you "can't" do because you don't want to do it. Something you can get others to do by making believe you can't do it.

When asked to do laundry they put all the white clothes in on hot and then put a brand new red sweatshirt in too. The result was all the white laundry was pink and they were banned from touching the laundry ever again...they could wash laundry but didn't want to so they applied "selective incompetence " to get out of ever being asked again.

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.
