I forget the name of the phenomenon but essentially when you do a questionable act, you had a perfectly valid reason. If someone else does the exact same act, they're a selfish asshole with no respect for other people.
This leads to people doing things that upset others because those other people then think, "well that's a selfish asshole..."
