The Wheels on the Bus Go Round and Round

It's happened to everyone....we've all been thrown under the bus. The euphemism brings to mind an intentional act. Someone puts you out there like a sacrificial goat, to deflect blame from themselves. It bites, but, truthfully, there are worse things that could happen in life.

So what happens when YOU throw someone under the bus? I always thought that it was a way to sneak out of the blame game, but what happens when something you inadvertently fail to do, puts someone else firmly in the under the wheels of the bus?

Speaking from recent experience, it feels like shit. No one should ever have to take the blame for my lack of action. No one should be responsible for that but me. It didn't turn out that way today. He was justifiably irritated? angry? I couldn't really tell. I know he was upset.

Now I am trying to find ways to accept the consequences/take responsibility for what I didn't do.

I'm not looking forward to that conversation.
