The reason I can't have a car. Urban Dictionary

The most misdefined word in the urban dictionary. It is simply the "BLAME" Teaching responsibility is easy if you do not complicate it. Taking responsibility is taking the "BLAME". Jesus was not responsible for all of our mistakes and yet he took the BLAME. Stop treating this word as a good trait because it is only good for those predestined to be the "SCAPEGOAT" Responsibility is something we can only accept not force on others without evidence that they are guilty. If the boss notices something good has been done and wishes to know who did it. He/She would ask "who gets the CREDIT". It is only after mistakes are discovered that we ask "who is RESPONSIBLE"? I pray that the editors recognize the logic and truth in this definition and give it the "CREDIT" it deserves. Urban Dictionary

Usualy it is because they are self-absorbed and don't have their own shit together, so they use your feelings as an excuse. Urban Dictionary
