Get the uncompetent mug.A persona exemplified by George W. Bush.
Incompetence is very hard to define, but you sure know it when you see it like in this quote from George W. Bush:
"What I'm suggesting to you is, if you can't name the foreign minister of Mexico, therefore, you know, you're not capable of what you do. But the truth of the matter is you are, whether you can or not.
--George w. Bush
11/06/1999
as quoted in the Seattle Post-Intelligencer"

Get the Incompetence mug.Incompetental describes the worst possible level of competence possible, specifically related to services.
This word originated from the extremely bad level of competence demonstrated by Continental Airlines. It was originally only used as a word to describe the level of competence of Continental Airlines, which is basically non-existent.
It doesn't matter that passengers of Continental Airlines get shown a video of the CEO speaking, telling them how important their customers are to them, and how they strive to provide the best service possible. Either non of Continental's employees have seen this video, or they best service they can provide is, kick your foot repeatedly while you are trying to sleep, because part of it is in the hallway.

Get the Strategic Incompetence mug.Making something that could be good but ends up being terrible, but people enjoy it anyway; ignoring hundreds and hundreds of helpful suggestions; generally being a giant assclown that is clearly only worried about selling the bridge that you are currently burning while standing on.
The world fades from black. You sit in a wooden cart, surrounded by bandits. One of the bandits has terribly broken textures, and two others are incorrectly labelled as housecats. You shout out to God almighty "I think there's a mistake here!!" Suddenly, a feral pig jumps out of a bush and explodes, killing you. This is some Bethesda-grade incompetence.
