People are confusing

Recently I have read about or run into several situations where people have created a problem, gotten in over their heads, then demanded others fix the problem. I find this very confusing. If you created the problem how can you demand that others fix it? You can ask. You can beg. But demand?

If you created a problem you own the problem. You are responsible for finding a solution, nobody else. There are plenty of people in the world that solve problems for money, hire them. Or fix the problem yourself. Or hire somebody to make the problem go away. But demanding that others take responsibility of something you are responsible for just doesn't make sense.
