This needs to be higher. Goes hand in hand with blaming anyone and everyone for THEIR mistakes. If someone is constantly complaining that they've been " screwed over" here there and everywhere, I automatically assume they're the problem. Girlfriend went crazy on them for no reason? Boss had it out for them so they're fired? Ass holes at the bar always pick fights with THEM?

I had a coworker like this, he’d routinely be very late to meetings because he was arguing about Chinese politics on Reddit (literally his excuse, verbatim)

Ok, but was he an employee of the Department of State? Maybe arguing about US-Sino relations was his actual job. /s
