My bad, your fault
by edw007 on Jun 28, 2022 01:54:37
When one person makes a mistake, but admits fault while placing the blame and/or
responsibility on someone else, mostly to avoid responsibility while often putting the
scapegoat in an
awkward situation.
Example:
Derek: Damn, man. Not only did Alan forgot to tell me that a specifications changed and all the work that I did this week is now useless, he asked me to do
mandatory overtime this weekend since apparently it’s his turn to have his daughter, and he threatened to fire me if I told management
what really happened.
John: So a "
my bad, your fault" situation. What a jackass!
