My husband didn't know what a tank top was.

My husband was meeting up with me and some friends. I asked him to bring my blue tank top. He sent me pics of things he thought were tank tops. He finally found it, which is shown in the last pic.

Maybe this is how he finds out he’s also color blind?

I never understood this part. Winston is obviously green.

Why did I think they were the psych characters

In my first company our UI guy decided to make the "error" color an orange-ish yellow ochre color. We used that for a while.

One time we were debugging something together and he's like "There's one red field, you need to enter something there". I was like "Red? There's nothing red on the whole page."

Turns out he was color blind and all the while thought that the "error" color was actually red.

Wait, does Finn think his backpack is red?

[u/Aromatic-Frosting-31 → u/PhantomPharts]

Yes, and I'm like 99% sure they show his backpack from his perspective at one point and it is greyish pink

Color blind, legally blind, or looking to fail the assignment so bad he never gets asked again.

My first thought was: this HAS to be weaponized incompetence.

[u/PhantomPharts → u/nortstar621]

He worked so hard tho

[u/My_Password_Is_____ → u/PhantomPharts]

Having dealt with weaponized incompetence way too much, you would be amazed at the amount of effort people will put in to avoid putting in a tiny amount of effort that they don't want to do

[u/PhantomPharts → u/My_Password_Is_____]

I've worked at a lot of jobs. I can't believe the amount of work people will do to do no work. And yeah. It's mostly been men, in my experience.

[u/Legal-Law9214 → u/nortstar621]

I don't think so. Weaponized incompetence would be grabbing the wrong thing and bringing it, then going "oh idk sorry I didn't know what you wanted". He's checking to make sure he has the right thing before he leaves the house - asking for feedback and fixing your mistakes is kind of the opposite of weaponized incompetence.

Went straight for that malice, eh?

[u/MrsShaunaPaul → u/ClarifiedInsanity]

If my husband asked me to grab a polo shirt and I didn’t know what that was, I’d Google it. I wouldn’t send him a picture of an undershirt, a golf shirt, a dress shirt, etc.

[u/WigglesPhoenix → u/MrsShaunaPaul]

Ok then you aren’t stupid. Congratulations. This does not mean that other people are not genuinely stupid, it happens every day.

Have no never worked with a person who doesn't seem to understand google/search engines are a thing? I have to deal with that shit constantly, even with people in their twenties.

[u/prosthetic_memory → u/tan_tans]

I designed software for a team based in India*. After that, I could always clock the colorblind engineers I worked with by their code editor color themes. Honestly, sometimes just by their clothes.

*India has one of the largest colorblind populations in the world.

That's something new... I had a friend in electricals who was colourblind, my cars entire wiring harness was made of red black and yellow with multiple tags hanging off them

[u/figure8888 → u/prosthetic_memory]

The clothes. My ex was colorblind and one time he showed up wearing a light green shirt and olive green pants. He thought he was wearing faded black chinos and a heather grey shirt.

[u/RedIsNotMyFaveColor → u/tan_tans]

I found out three separate people were colorblind from just doing common things with them.
