Blame shifter: (definition) Uses accusatory manner or actually states to anyone they can find, that their (accuser) forgetfulness, lack of planning, mistake or screwup is someone elses fault; i.e., missing the garbage men by not putting out the garbage the night before, not returning a phone message because "someone" did not remind them, almost being late to work because same said person turned the alarm clock off days ago, etc., etc., etc. Example: "Thanks for checking to see that I got up for work; it's 9:30 a.m.!!!"(This person has to be 30 minutes away by 10:00 a.m. and I should have technically been gone by 8:30 a.m. and would not have been here to check on him anyway, but decided to stay home!) Ciao!
