--then they act like they should be happy to have even had the chance.
This is a common tactic of a con-artist and or sociopath. They try to deflect back onto the one drawing attention for two purposes. One to discredit the one lodging complaint and two to try and strong arm the more passive party into silence.
Humans, as a general rule of thumb, dislike conflict. You can see it in Jamie's responses where he is still apologetic to these guys, when logic would dictate that he should want their head on a platter.
Sociopaths see human responses such as this, like an artist sees a completed painting on a blank canvas, and they will use it against you. When I read that line quoted above, I realized right then that Dan is most-likely a sociopath and a person to be avoided.
