"Strategic Incompetence — The best way to to make sure that you are never asked to do something again is to royally screw it up the first time you are asked to do it."
I haven't read the full article thoroughly, but this is a good "life hack" thing to keep in your back pocket. Use with care.
A flip side to it: if you want to get someone else to do things for you, tell them they're really good at it, even if they're not especially (only works with certain personalities :)
I feel like at some point you need to come clean about these things, though. Otherwise, you start stringing yourself up with a web of lies.
