Pointing fingers of blame. It's so and so's fault! Man, I'd hate to work with some of these folks. They'd be the ones smiling in your face and stabbing you in the back. Or blaming you for their missing iPad that they accidentally left at home.

What's that expression? When you're pointing a finger there's four pointing back atcha? Something like that.
