    I have a friend who constantly frames problems by blaming someone … anyone

    The concept of accidents, unfortunate events, chance or unplanned events is a foreign concept to them. They constantly believe that any and every problem in the universe is caused by someone doing something intentionally or ignorantly.

    I can always count on them when there’s a problem … that they’ll automatically blame someone.
