I agree 100% with the bold section. You could also add, "It's not my fault it's his" in there as well. (lack of personal responsibility)

The lack of responsibility may also be why tickets don't get written. people always blame the "cops" for the tickets and not themselves. people try to get out of the tickets instead of just paying them and correcting the behavior/equipment. "cops" have to live near where they work and they may not want to deal with a waiter at a restaurant spitting in their food because some jerk "cop" gave him a ticket for going 40mph over the limit last week.

If people would just admit that they screwed up, and deal with the consequences of their actions, the world would be a better place.

(not to mention parents who think that their children can do no wrong and refuse to discipline their children when it is needed)
