Word 13: Inept

inept
(adj.) not suitable or capable, unqualified (She proved how inept she was when she forgot two orders and spilled a pint of cider in a customer’s lap.)
UPDATE!
Thanks for everyone who has been submitting their examples, they're really great! 
I just thought I should post a quick update and, of course, another word to add to your forever expanding vocabulary brain bank.
I've been awfully busy with work and college recently, and regretfully, haven't been able to find time to spend here.
I'll be posting the best of the examples from the previous competition in a poll soon, but for now I'll leave the submission open for those who haven't yet submitted an example and would still like to.
Here's a link to my previous competition for those who may not have seen it;
Feel free to post your example in this blog or the previous one. Examples from both will be submitted.
Thanks for being patient! 
I'll try my best to keep from becoming an inept vocabulary blogger.

    Little Timmy's ability to care for his new dog Spike was so inept that after one too many pulls on the tail Spike lunged at Timmy and mauled his face to shreds.

    The Example Competition is just for 'Repudiate' btw. Although I appreciate the effort gone into this, albeit a bit melancholic. Why are the unfortunate mauling victims always called Timmy?
