This is exactly it Oldude. Everyone is, to a certain extent, blaming things that are their own fault on others.
A little of this is to be expected in my opinion just because of the odd situation. Many a time have I been at fault because I didn't communicate something clearly enough and something else got screwed up. My initial response is always, "If it was unclear you should've asked me again," but it's also my fault for not clearly communicating the situation in the first place
The problem lies in the fact that so many people in today's society blame everything they possibly can on someone else. I had a boy come into work late for the third time this month this very morning and his response was "Well, you know, my friends made me stay out late last night and It's really their fault I didn't wake up." Fired. On the spot. I've no patience for anyone consistently unwilling to accept something is their fault.
