The artwork, Eyes, is a vibrant and detailed composition featuring numerous eyes of various sizes and orientations, seemingly floating across the canvas. Each eye is unique, with different colors and expressions, set against a soft background. The color is subtle yet impactful, bringing a sense of life and emotion to the piece. The artist’s signature, “JS Pierpoint,” suggests a personal connection to the work, which explores themes of perception, observation, and the multitude of perspectives each pair of eyes represents.

“People who never want to own their sh**”
Welcome back, folks, to our Time-Less Voices/369.ENERGY blog—a place where life’s quirks meet a little dose of humor, some hard truths, and much reflection. This week, we’re diving into the world of folks who refuse to own their own houses. ** And let’s be honest—it’s a world we’ve all stepped into at some point, whether we like it or not.
Inspired by the artwork Eyes by JS Pierpoint, where every eye on that canvas seems to watch, judge, and observe the layers of human behavior, we can’t help but wonder—aren’t we all being watched when we’re dodging our accountability? You know that feeling when you’re trying to slide by unnoticed, hoping nobody’s caught on to your little mistakes? Yeah, those eyes are watching. But here’s the fun part: this Blog will call it like it is. And trust me, it’s going to be a good time.
People Who Never Want to Own Their Sh: **
Let’s start by acknowledging the BS artists of the world. You know exactly who I’m talking about—the people who are:
• Experts at twisting reality.
• Dodging responsibility.
• Blaming everything around them (from their horoscope to the neighbor’s cat) for their screw-ups.
Have you ever met someone who could weave such a tight web of crafted excuses that you almost believed them?
You know these people. You may even work with them. Heck, you might live with one! These are the folks who, no matter what, will never acknowledge their role in a bad situation. Spilled milk? Oh, someone else clearly knocked over the carton. Did you miss a deadline? The Wi-Fi (and the stars) weren’t aligned. They’re the walking, talking, blame-shifting machines of life.
And here’s the kicker—they’ve gotten so good at it; they believe their own stories! Yes, we’re talking about those individuals who somehow make you feel guilty for their mistakes. They’re slippery, elusive, and hiding behind a facade—a mask of superiority or fake humility—to dodge facing their faults—classic “I’m-the-victim-here” behavior.
You know the type. These aren’t your average “I-forgot-to-do-my-laundry” types. Oh no, these are the ones who will gaslight you so smoothly that you’ll find yourself apologizing to them for their mistake.
Their craft is as old as time itself, and they always succeed in passing the buck. But here’s the twist—they believe their own stories, and somewhere deep down, they think you do, too.
Pro Tip:
The next time you spot one of these crafty “story-spinners,” don’t shy away. Call them out! Trust us; it’s like watching a magician fumble mid-trick when you reveal that you’ve seen the rabbit hidden in their hat all along. The stutter, the look of shock priceless. It’s one of those rare moments when you peel back the layers of illusion and see their poker face crumble like a stale cookie. That moment alone will have you laughing for weeks.
Several Types of Bullshers You’ll Meet in Life**
Now, let’s break down our perspective Bullsher Archetypes** you will encounter in daily interactions. These characters are so familiar that they could form a sitcom cast, but we’re keeping it real here with a little comedic twist.
The Hustler:
Ah, the Hustler—this person could sell ice to a Joker and get a thank-you note in return. Have you ever met someone who somehow always has a scheme, a plan, or a “business opportunity” that’s just on the brink of taking off? Their motto: “Blame the system, blame ‘The Man,’ blame the weather, but never blame me.” The Hustler’s game is simple: charm, disarm, and deflect.
You’ll catch them explaining away their latest failure like it was part of the master plan all along. “Oh, that bad investment? I meant to do that! It’s a long-term strategy.” (Spoiler: No, it wasn’t.) They’ve got you questioning reality so much that you’ll start thinking maybe you missed something. Please don’t fall for it. The only thing that needs to be added is their accountability.
The Political Gamer:
This one’s all about the drama—your typical office politician who thrives in the chaos of workplace maneuvering. They know exactly how to shift blame faster than a politician at a press conference. You’ll hear them start sentences like, “I’m not saying it’s your fault, but…” and we all know how that story ends.
But let’s not stop there. Just look at the real-world political hustlers—take New York City’s backroom deals and shady alliances, for example. Nepotism, corruption, and self-service run rampant until the very last hour. It’s like watching a soap opera, except nobody bothered to write the ending. And yet, no one fact-checks themselves, believing we can’t see their naked ambition and all the tricks they’re trying to hide under the table.
These folks love running loose with their games, but as we say in legalese, “the invisible rope will eventually show itself” (or maybe that’s just the author’s perspective). And when it does? Oh boy, get the popcorn ready because the players got played! Who doesn’t love a good plot twist, am I right?
There’s something deeply satisfying about the inevitability of consequences catching up to those who believe they’re untouchable.
But let’s take a step back. It’s deeper than we think. Look at the current atmosphere surrounding local politicians, including the Mayor of New York, and his close cabinetry. All of them have cemented mouths until further investigation. Or until a legal chisel pry them open. Well, isn’t this what we understand about the icing on the cake for the licking?
Wait, though—we may not want to be so quick to lick this one. Some cakes are best left untouched, especially when they’re covered in questionable frosting. We should agree at some point that the people are done with the games these politicians (local, national, or international) are playing, thus band-wagoning their followers as puppets and at most, vulnerable puppets. Then, keeping tight strings on their poles for hired profits. Let’s stop here, we are hopeful you get the point!
The Art of the “Kneel” and the “Squeal”
Kneeling, figuratively speaking, is their way of showing submission. It’s their “I’m so sorry, I’m just so helpless!” approach, designed to make you feel bad for questioning their role in the mess. And then, the squealing begins. They loudly proclaim their unawareness or confusion, often in such a way that makes you, the accuser, doubt yourself.
“No one told me the deadline was today! I didn’t know I wasn’t supposed to leave the project unfinished!”
Really? They didn’t know. Oh, they knew. They always know.
The kneelers and squealers are masters at shifting the narrative. They deflect the blame by pretending to be oblivious or overwhelmed, turning the conversation from “Why didn’t you get this done?” to “Oh, poor thing, you didn’t know?” And suddenly, you find yourself cleaning up their mess because, apparently, no one “informed” them of what they were supposed to do.
The real motivation behind this behavior is simple: playing the victim is more accessible than owning up to a mistake. Admitting fault means facing the consequences; for the Kneelers and Squealers, that’s too much to handle. By pleading ignorance, they avoid confrontation and make you feel guilty for expecting them to take responsibility.
There’s also a level of manipulation at play here. By kneeling and squealing their confusion, they paint themselves as the victim of poor communication, hoping to garner sympathy rather than scrutiny. And, more often than not, it works—at least the first few times.
How to Handle Kneelers and Squealers
Here’s the tricky part: how do you deal with someone who’s perfected the art of faux innocence and dramatic submission? The key is to stand firm and call them out—gently but confidently. When they hit you with the “I didn’t know!” line, respond with something like, “Actually, we discussed this in the meeting last week. You were there, remember?” Keep it factual and calm and watch as their act unravels.
Pretending Ignorance as an Act of Innocence:
Ah, the art of feigned innocence—this brand of behavior is its masterpiece, crafted by those who wield ignorance like a get-out-of-jail-free card. Pretending ignorance is more than just a simple dodge; it’s a full-fledged performance where the actor plays the “I didn’t know!” role so convincingly that, for a moment, you almost believe them. But just like an Oscar-worthy performance, it’s all smoke and mirrors.
When you think they don’t know, these individuals know precisely what they’re doing, but when things go sideways, they conveniently act as if they were completely unaware. They put on their best who-me? face, bat their eyelashes (figuratively or literally), and say things like, “Oh, I had no idea I was supposed to do that!” or “I didn’t realize this was due today!” Meanwhile, you stand there, watching their performance unfold, knowing full well that they were perfectly aware of their responsibilities the whole time.
It’s a subtle form of manipulation—by pretending they didn’t know, they dodge responsibility, shifting the blame to circumstances or other people. They act as though their ignorance somehow absolves them from the consequences of their actions (or inactions). But here’s the thing: they’re not clueless. They’re just good at playing the part.
These pretenders of innocence are often found in the workplace, at family gatherings, or even among friends. When faced with confrontation, they master the art of the wide-eyed “I didn’t know” look that makes you question whether they’re at fault. But don’t be fooled—their act is as rehearsed as a Broadway show.
Why Do They Do It?
The motivation behind pretending ignorance is simple: playing the innocent card is more accessible than facing the music. Admitting fault is uncomfortable; for some people, avoiding accountability is second nature. Rather than owning up to their mistakes or laziness, they rely on this tactic to escape consequences.
Another key reason? Sympathy. They often garner sympathy from those around them by portraying themselves as innocent and unaware. Instead of being held accountable, they receive support or leniency because others genuinely believe they don’t know better. It’s a clever (if frustrating) tactic to escape sticky situations.
How to Spot a “Pretender”
It can be tricky to spot these faux innocents in action, but there are telltale signs to watch for:
• Repetitive behavior: They always seem to “forget” things at convenient times or claim they didn’t know something they absolutely should have.
• The pattern of excuses: Their go-to response is, “Oh, I wasn’t aware!” or “No one told me!” even though the expectation was clear to everyone else.
• Feigning helplessness: They’ll act as if they’re entirely out of their depth, even when the task is well within their abilities.
• Avoidance of confrontation: When called out, they don’t get defensive—instead, they double down on their innocence, making you feel like the bad guy for even questioning them.
How to Handle the Pretenders
So, how do you deal with someone who’s pretending ignorance to escape accountability? The key is to hold them to the facts. When they claim they didn’t know, remind them—gently but firmly—of the communicated expectations.
The Loved One
Now, this one hit close to home. Whether it’s your partner, sibling, or that one best friend who always has a dramatic reason for being late (you know the type—”I got stuck in a two-hour existential crisis, and then the dog ate my keys”), these people are tough to call out. Why? Because you care about them.
It’s easy to forgive the loved one who “bullshs” their way out of things because, let’s face it, love makes us a little soft. But over time, their constant excuses start to wear thin. When they’re late for the 23rd time or forget (again) to bring what they promised to the family dinner, you begin to wonder if you’re being played. The tough part? Confronting a loved one feels like walking a tightrope—you don’t want to rock the boat, but you also don’t want to drown in their sea of bullsh.
The Co-worker, the Neighbor, and So-Called Friends: The Great Pretenders:
Ah yes, the Great Pretenders—those colleagues or neighbors who can smile to your face, pretend to be your biggest supporter, and yet be full of nothing but fluff. These folks say, “We should hang out sometime!” with no intention of ever making it happen. They live in the land of false promises and exaggerated tales of their success.
Ever had a co-worker who “promised” they’d have your back on that big project, only to leave you hanging like an awkward high five? They play the role of your most significant ally but vanish the moment things get tough. You try to get mad, but their pretending is so well done that you can almost admire the performance. Almost.
Reflection Time: Is the Bullsher in the Mirror? **
Now, let’s take a moment to reflect on some uncomfortable things. Is the bullsher** you’re so keen on spotting… you? Come on, don’t click away now. We’ve all dodged accountability at some point. Whether it’s fudging the reason we’re late to a meeting (the dog did eat your keys, right?) or shifting the blame for a minor mistake at work, none of us are entirely innocent.
But the key to not becoming a full-fledged bullsh**er lies in self-awareness. The next time you catch yourself spinning a story to explain away a mistake, pause. Ask yourself: Am I dodging responsibility right now? If yes, it’s time to reel it back in and own up to your part. We’re not asking for perfection—just progress. After all, if you’re not being good to yourself, how can you be good to others?
And if reading this makes you feel called out, that’s probably a sign. There’s no need to lie to yourself because, guess what? We’re all watching. The eyes are on you—both literally and figuratively. And trust us, you’ll feel much lighter when you stop dodging the truth. (Did that hit a nerve? Good.)
What to Do if You’ve Labeled Someone Else as a Bullsher**
So, you’ve pinpointed a bullsher in your life—what next? It’s time to decide how to handle them. Are they hustling because they need to? Playing politics to survive? Or is their bullsh** just part of their charm? (Yes, some people can be charming and full of it—don’t ask us how that works; it’s one of life’s great mysteries.)
The point is setting boundaries. You don’t have to cut them off completely (unless you want to, in which case, more power to you), but you can control how much access they have to your life. Call them out when necessary, and don’t let their BS affect your peace. You deserve to be surrounded by people who own their stuff, not those who spin stories to avoid reality.
We should acknowledge that removing unneeded energy from our space allows room for more positive energy and opens the door for a new chapter to begin. It’s like decluttering a room—once you clear out the junk, there’s finally space to breathe, grow, and thrive.
Think about it—every time we hold on to toxic behaviors, unhealthy relationships, or unnecessary drama, we’re allowing them to take up valuable space. That space could instead be filled with new growth, new opportunities, and meaningful connections.
The immediate lesson is that we must stop allowing the BS to stick around. Whether negative self-talk, toxic relationships, or excuses, we must be intentional about what energy we allow into our lives. Once we do that, the fundamental transformation begins. And the best part? You control the switch.
We’ll explore the idea of energy vampires in another blog or upcoming podcast (stay tuned!), but for now, let’s keep it accurate: the “BS” must stop.
The Artwork and Its Relevance
Now, let’s return to the incredible artwork Eyes by JS Pierpoint. The multitude of eyes—different colors, shapes, and sizes—represents more than just vision. They symbolize perception, observation, and the inescapable fact that someone is always watching. Whether it’s someone else catching you in the act or you are looking inward, the truth is that we’re all under some form of scrutiny.
We can’t hide behind the smoke and mirrors of our excuses and false stories forever. Those eyes, both external and internal, will eventually reveal the cracks in our narratives. The moral of the story? Keep your eyes open—especially for self-reflection. Accountability will always be waiting for you, whether you like it or not.
Creative Suggestion: “Bullsher Hotline”**
Are you feeling overwhelmed by the bullshers** in your life? Need a space to vent those “Did they just say that?” moments? Enter the Bullsher Hotline**! (Just kidding—unless someone wants to fund it, in which case, we’re all in.)
Imagine a safe space where you can rant about the latest nonsense you’ve heard, free from judgment and full of laughs. Whether it’s a co-worker, your partner, or that one friend who never owns up to their part in anything, laughing at their antics might be the support system you didn’t know you needed. Just think of the stories we’d hear!
Pending Conclusion: Eyes Wide Open, People
We’re all just trying to weather this weird, wonderful world. Some people take the bullish** route; others own their mistakes. The key is to recognize the difference and keep your eyes wide open. Learn from the bullshers** around you, but more importantly, don’t become one yourself. And if you slip into bullsh** mode, do you? It may be time for self-reflection, courtesy of our ever-watchful audience.
Footnote for the Blog:
Bullish, Bullshiter or Bullsher: **
For those with tender ears or delicate sensibilities, allow us to clarify the use of “bullish” and “bullsher”** in this Blog. These terms describe situations where someone is deliberately deceptive, manipulative, or evading responsibility, often with a blend of charm, smooth talk, or outright lies. A bullsher** is a person who regularly engages in this behavior, avoiding accountability and bending the truth to suit their narrative.
We acknowledge that the language can be a little edgy, but the term captures the essence of the behavior we’re addressing in a problematic way to replicate with softer words. Think of bullshing** as a mix of evasion, exaggeration, and pretending—an art of deception that’s as old as time but one that everyone needs to be wary of.
If you’re a parent, teacher, or someone trying to avoid colorful language around younger or more impressionable ears, feel free to substitute “bullsh**” with a more tender phrase like “nonsense,” “fooling around,” or “misleading talk.” But for this Blog, we’re calling it as we see it—because, sometimes, it’s simply bullish.
And remember everyone encounters a bullsher** at some point—whether in the workplace, politics or even among friends. The key is knowing how to spot them and, most importantly, keeping your distance!
Disclaimer:
This Blog is not responsible for any awkward moments that may occur when you call out the bullshers** in your life. Side effects may include eye rolls, uncomfortable silences, or the sudden disappearance of said bullshers**. Read at your own risk.
And that wraps up another week of humor, truth, and a little introspection. Tune in next time for more insights on life’s many colorful characters! Until then, keep your eyes open and your bullish radar finely tuned. **
