Sometimes you just aren't good at something, and that's ok; not everyone is going to excel at everything they try, and that's just the way it is. We're all individuals with different skills who might find certain things more or less challenging. Still, it's important that we keep our egos in check and not lash out at others for our own shortcomings—for displaying grace in the midst of one's failings will determine how others will perceive your character.
Some people don't seem to get this and cruelly lash out at anything—or anyone, in reach, taking their miserable existence to new lows. This self-perpetuating cycle of unrecognized failure can manifest itself in many different ways. For instance, as commenters on the original post have mentioned, in the service industry, it's common for underperforming serving staff to complain about their tips… blaming their penny-pinching customers for their loss of income. Every server will experience a nightmare table of guests, but just like with any relationship, if you experience the same thing enough times… maybe it's time to start reflecting inwards as well. When a server complains too often about their tables and tips… they usually have a team of coworkers shaking their heads behind their back who are tired of cleaning up their mistakes.
