![<p>There is no shortage of gross incompetence around the world, and these pics showcase just a few dirty instances. For example, Argentina just elected Javier Milei to be their next president, and he has quite a history of... let's just say uniqueness?</p><p><br></p><p>Aside from having a superhero alter ego, AP stated that Milei "thinks [adult] education is a Marxist plot to destroy the family," and that "people should be allowed to sell their own vital organs." He also doesn't believe that the government should have any role in health, labor policy, education, or the banks. He seems quite a lot like a sleazeball and has been known to campaign with a chainsaw to metaphorically demonstrate just how many cuts to Argentinian policy he wants to make, but he's far from the only slime on this list. </p><p><br></p><p>Moving from global politics to household ones, a man is suing his neighbor for messing around with his wife.... and failing to consummate the deed. Yes, you read that right, after 72 "attempts," it turns out that the neighbor just didn't have what it takes in the baby-making department. I guess if you're going to mess around with somebody's wife, you should do it well. </p>](https://cdn.ebaumsworld.com/thumbs/2023/11/21/102054/87478307/fail-2.jpg "Trashy Tuesday: 20 Sleazy Fails and Facepalms")
