What's a sign that someone is secretly a bad person?

I do this as a joke which has become a bit of a habit I picked up from my last job.

There was a guy there who whenever there was a problem would blame it on someone very tangentially related to the issue. For example he left confidential documents on his desk overnight rather than in the locked cabinets, that's Suzie's fault because she asked him a question an hour before he left and he got distracted.

So we started taking the piss out of it, whenever something happened we'd immediately assign blame to anyone who had nothing to do with it we could as a joke(think Thanks Obama, but this started years before he took office).

Unfortunately now it's a bad habit, someone says something and I immediately ascribe blame to the most ridiculous possible party imaginable before I can stop myself(The cleaner left the door unlocked? Clearly the fault of pro football player, Cristiano Ronaldo. Someone forgot their keys when they left the office? I blame the socioeconomic divide. Bob got in last this morning because his car broke down? Obviously aliens were to blame).

Please don't think less of me for this, I do try to stop, it's just such a gut reaction now most of the time I don't realise I'm doing it until I'm already saying it and it's too late to stop.
