I have to blame someone. If you were a millennial you would have blamed your folks for not raising you as a responsible, fully functioning human being. If you were a hipster you would say there is nothing cool or impressive about dropping off tires. If you were one of my kids you would point out what a terrible failure I was as a parent and it's all my fault (see millennial above). I could try Jewish guilt but only my wife knows how to do that.
Clearly you carry terrible guilt on this matter, as you should, just ask your wife.
