Technique 2: The Art of Faking Responsibility

Step 1: Pretend you're not the one who ate the last donut in the break room.

Step 2: When questioned, stare intensely at the floor, as if the donut was a mere mirage.

Step 3: When the evidence mounts, feign outrage, "Who, me? Never! I swear on my honor as a human being!"

Step 4: If confronted by a witness, feign deafness. Repeat the phrase, "I didn't see nothin', ain't nobody seen nothin'."

Step 5: If all else fails, claim you're allergic to responsibility. "I'm afraid I'm not well-equipped to deal with such adult responsibilities."

And voila! You're faking responsibility like a pro!
