I remember the Car Talk guys Click and Clack talking about their tongue-in-cheek (or maybe not) advice for being married. It was something like:

"The very first time that they ask you to do the laundry, say 'Yes, honey! I'd love to!'. Then, do it so horribly bad. Turn everything pink or whatever. Shrink, ruin some clothes. Then, they'll never ask you to do the laundry again."



I really miss Car Talk.

I wish there were a good comprehensive catalog of all their old episodes online...


This is often called "strategic incompetence" (or feigned incompetence).
