Yep, I don't remember the exact phrasing, but in these situations, I assume incompetence before I assume evil intent.

Maybe it is intentional but the incompetence is in how obvious they are.

    Never attribute to malice what can be explained by incompetentance

    Is the saying, but it's definitely not always true.

    It's more like some of the best evil can be hidden behind incompetence for quite a while

    I mean, the phrase is for associates and random people you run into for one specific interaction

    Basically:

    Give em the benefit of doubt

    It doesn't mean if your neighbor kicks you in the balls everyone morning, you still try to shake his hand tomorrow.
