This is the story of four people named 'Everybody', 'Somebody', 'Anybody' and 'Nobody'.
There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it.
Anybody could have done it. but Nobody did it.
Somebody got angry about it as it was Everybody's job.
Everybody thought that Anybody could do it but Nobody realised that Everybody would not do it.
It ended up that Everybody blamed Somebody, when actually Nobody accused Anybody!

Yes, we should remind ourselves about this whenever a task is to be accomplished and assign specific jobs to specific persons including ourselves.
