** ''Series/PowerRangersWildForce'': Master Org delivers his backstory in an attempt to paint himself as a victim, but it's all a SelfServingMemory. [[spoiler:He was once Victor Adler, a friend to the Red Ranger Cole's parents. He had feelings for his mother and was about to propose to her, only for her to reveal his father had already did so before he could say anything. That, coupled with a reporter showing more interest in talking to them and the birth of their son caused him to regard them as traitors who used him, causing him to become the new Master Org and murder them. He refuses to believe he misinterpreted his relationship with Cole's mother, whom he never had any interactions with outside of their work, or that he let his petty thoughts get the better of him.]]

* ''Series/MidsomerMurders'': The killer in "The Stitcher's Society" really takes the cake, blaming everything on the man she was attempting to [[FrameUp frame]]. When Barnaby arrests her, she says that if her fall guy had just been found guilty and gone to prison like she planned, then she wouldn't have had to [[MurderIsTheBestSolution murder all of those other people]], so the whole thing is really his fault if you think about it.

* ''Series/StarTrekTheNextGeneration'': In "Too Short a Season", a guy named Karnas once took a bunch of people hostage and demanded advanced Federation weapons in exchange for them. Mark Jameson, then a Starfleet commander, got the hostages released by providing the weapons, then giving the same weapons to Karnas' enemies to make it a wash. For this, Karnas wants revenge, never pausing to consider that taking hostages means any negotiations are inherently in bad faith, and you should expect the other side to screw you over if they can.

** "Tin Man" features Tam Elbrun, a Betazoid and first contact specialist who was involved in "the [[NoodleIncident Ghorusda Disaster]]", which led to the deaths of 47 Starfleet officers. Tam initially blames the captain involved in that mission for what happened, claiming that Captain Darson didn't listen to his recommendations. Tam later admits that he may have been so caught up in the Ghorusdan race's minds and wanted everyone to get along so much that he neglected to warn Darson more forcefully about what precautions to take.

* ''Series/TheTwilightZone1959'': In "[[Recap/TheTwilightZoneS5E141SpurOfTheMoment Spur of the Moment]]", Anne Mitchell blames her late father John Henderson for spoiling her when she was growing up and giving her everything that she wanted instead of making her earn it. She then accuses him of failing to teach her things such as judgement and discrimination. Anne believes that this led directly to her marriage to David, who proved to be a terrible businessman and an even worse husband. By blaming her father, Anne is ignoring the fact that both he and her mother had wanted her to marry the far more responsible and reliable Robert Blake. Her father had always hated David as he could tell what kind of person he was.

*** In Ross' case his issues don't just come from the fact that he was spoiled. He was the GoldenChild to his sister Monica's TheUnfavourite. Monica couldn't do anything right in their parents' eyes and was treated badly. With her example in mind, it makes sense that Ross would desperately claim nothing was every his fault because he knew exactly what it would mean if he became his parents' TheUnfavourite, too.
