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?

grebo
West Midlands slang word for rockers, bikers, greasers etc. In the late 1980s it was used by the UK music press to refer to a specific scene centered around the bands Pop Will Eat Itself and Crazyhead. The term never found favour with readers of 'the inkies' (Sounds, Melody Maker and the still extant NME) and was soon dropped. Now often used in predominantly working-class areas of the midlands and the north to mean someone who listens to rock-derived music and/or dresses in a manner that suggests they affiliate themselves with rock music of some kind.
