The Underminer

That interrogation scene from the incredibles perfectly describes the situation here.

The Cops "You didn't finish it either! Did you stop the underminer from inflicting more damage!?"

Idiots "No."

The Cops "Did you stop him from robbing the banks?"

Idiots "No."

The Cops "Did you CATCH him?"

Idiot "No."

Hym "What did you think was going to happen there?"

Idiots "I donno I just thought I could lie and then everyone would let me steal his life because of the things he said and then even if something bad happened it wouldn't be my because I can always just blame Hym for saying the bad things and then steal the credit for him saying the good things."

obsessive compulsive flag-unfurling disorder

Or "OCFUD" for short. Refers to where you absolutely cannot stand to simply walk by a flagstaff where da pennant has become wrapped around da pole or is otherwise not hanging/flapping freely as it's supposed to be; you feel da overwhelming need to reach up and caringly "free da folds" so dat said lovely colorful banner can flutter freely and gloriously proclaim its bold "freedom of expression" message once again.

Why anybody would make an issue about someone's obsessive compulsive flag-unfurling disorder is totally beyond me --- just like "OMLC disorder" (whereby you are unable to resist closing an obviously-hanging-open mailbox-lid on your way by), it would be only common-sense logical to assume dat whoever put up da tangled-up flag would indeed want it to remain "free to flutter" instead of being messily twisted around da flagpole. Plus of course, it's only what YOU'D want OTHERS to do regarding any flag dat YOU YOURSELF had hung, and so you'd be merely following da Golden Rule by performing said Good Samaritan task yourself wif any bunched-up flag dat you see while strolling around town.
