Blame games are inevitable. So does taking credit for something they didn't do. And when it happens in your work environment, it's a lot worse. The work relationship between you and whoever that person may be becomes toxic, you just dread every single day you go to work. When something goes wrong with your project or proposal or whatever, the blame goes to you. When something good happens, it's all him/her. Applaud the superficiality.
Another incredibly bad thing is when someone else's responsibilities fall on you. I was raised to own up on your responsibilities. When they're not yours, assist. But whatever happens, you are not to take responsibility for anything that wasn't yours to begin with. In work, there will always be people who will push their responsibilities to other people so they won't have to work a sweat and carry on with other activities. I made the mistake of letting someone push their responsibilities to me. I was new in work and I had little to no idea how everything works. But I learned. Safe to say, the relationship I have with the person is non-existent now.
But what pisses me off more is when people deliberately do things to possess things that are not even theirs. They would literally sacrifice their dignities for materialistic sake. I pity these people and they disgust me all the same. I pity them because they literally would lay down their dignity for something as materialistic as a phone or a tablet. It's mad what they do to be with the "in" crowd. And it's disgusting at the same time because you would rather own a smartphone or tablet that would fade in a couple of years (a couple of months, give or take) than dignity. It might look good now, but the road is bleak in the long run.
Everyone has faults. I know I'm not perfect and I have faults all the same. I tend to lose focus easily, I have a really sharp tongue and I tend to get aggressive when situation calls it. But I think I'd rather have these faults than have to sell my soul to the devil and let go of whatever dignity I have left.
