I get tired of people blaming bad behavior on drugs or alcohol. That explanation might work...once. After that, if you EVER use those substances again, you have CHOSEN to behave badly.

I'm also tired of people who blame their problems on their parents or lack thereof. One endlessly hears adults wine about how they were reared and wielding such deficiencies as crutches. When I hear the umpteenth person gripe about their childhood, I feel like shouting: Enough! You're an adult now. Stop blaming your deficiencies on your parents or their absence. Get on with your life already!
