Philosophy 101
I hate getting bitched out when I deserve it. Really.
At least when you get bitched out for something that's not really your fault, you can fall back on rightous indignation. There's a shred of self respect between you and the unfairness of the world.
But when you get bitched out for something you really shouldn't have done, there's nothing standing between you and the bald truth. The hard facts. The ugly reality. You are not infallible. You are not always the good guy. You are sometimes the pain in the @$$ - the broken cog in the wheel.
You can't even honestly rag on the person who bitched you out, 'cause you had it coming. And if that person is a jerk, it's even worse because you just handed them validation on a silver platter. Gift wrapped.
Oh well. Some days you're the dog. Some days you're the fire hydrant.
