And we also had no system for handling the work that people didn’t want to do (I didn’t buy groceries because it was my job; I went to the store because the fridge was empty and I wanted to help) or how to handle people saying that they were going to do something and then not following through.
I feel vaguely frustrated that this is such a common problem.
I find this ironic to compare to the first part you quoted.
People don’t recycle, keep the fridge door open, don’t register to vote… but, you know, from certain perspective this is actually great, because it shows their determination to do the actually important stuff.
The same people then also don’t buy groceries, don’t keep their promises...
Both of these examples signal the lack of Hufflepuff virtues. The first one is easy to rationalize; the second one has a personal impact on the author.
Yeah, it seems like … the rationalization might be sort of a cover-story for certain bad habits or patterns that they don’t want to fix in themselves. shrug. I’m not a huge fan.

Lack of Hufflepuff virtues. Shakes head.
