The Most Ridiculous Cases of "Never My Fault"

What's the most egregious case you've seen of someone making a monumental mistake only to try and pass it off as someone else's fault that things didn't turn out the way they wanted?
For me, it happened just recently. I was in a 3-way EDH match against a pair of brothers, both of whom were playing Saheeli artifact decks. Eventually, Brother 1 plays a Blinkmoth Urn and copies it with Mirrorworks . This wouldn't be such a big deal if I hadn't earlier played Primal Vigor . He ends up with 4 copies of the Urn (probably due to breaking a ruling I didn't know about) and promptly hands his brother the game.
After the game ended, Brother 1 decides that it's my fault Brother 2 won. Because I played Primal Vigor. Maybe indirectly because Brother 2 got twice as many tokens as he would have normally, but even without Brother 2 had enough artifacts out to generate massive amounts of mana.

PlatinumOne The funny part is that he knew all that already. He did it because Bro 2, at the moment of play, didn't have a use for all that extra mana. It bit him in the ass because he neglected to think ahead lol.

This is hilarious. Happens to me all the time. I get the "Well, if you weren't talking so much" or the "If you hadn't reminded me to untap that I woundn't have forgotten about this" and my personal favorite "If you didn't take so long on your turns, I would have cared more".
I've been told just about everything under the sun, except that my stench has won me games. At this point im debating just not showering for two weeks, going down and crushing an FNM, just to get banned for odors. Go home, scratch that one off and jump out a 100 story building window. Because the MTG community lately (Especially Arena) is toxic AF.

he should only have had 3 Blinkmoth Urn , not 4. 1 original, plus 2 token copies. brother 2 would have had 0 copies.
did you remind bro 1 that he should have known what was in play before playing his spell? and that he should have realized his artifact affects all players? did the extra mana from the 1 extra Blinkmoth Urn even matter?
