Running your rackett
How you or someone you know goes through their well rehearsed,predictable set of behaviors and or reactions towards a specific occurance in the daily act of existing instead of owning up to the responsibility of their actions.
Kevin is late for class usually every day; finally the teacher just confronted him saying "just give it up already, you keep running your rackett on me hoping to smooth over the consequences of your tardiness" its NOT working dude!!
Teacher: Okay, its only the third day this week you have been late to class but its only Wednesday !
Kevin: Yeah, sorry, my car wouldn't start this morning.
Teacher on Thursday: You missed the quiz this morning on the skeletal muscles...
Kevin: You wouldnt believe it but I went out to my car and I had a flat tire
