About this episode
This episode explores the humorous and strategic ways people feign helplessness to avoid responsibility.
In this episode of T.K.’s Chronicles of a Black Sheep, we’re unpacking the subtle, strategic, and sometimes downright comical ways people pretend to be helpless so you will carry the load. From partners who “can’t” clean right, to coworkers who magically forget tasks, to family members who suddenly lose all motor skills when responsibility shows up — we’re calling it out with honesty, humor, and a little side‑eye.
