Blameworthy carries a negative judgment, suggesting fault in actions or decisions.

Negative Connotation

Often used in legal or formal contexts to assign responsibility for a wrongdoing.

Legal Context

Blameworthy implies a moral or ethical lapse, not just a mistake or error.

Moral Responsibility

 So you're driving somewhere, thus teed up to be angry, and the person in front of you is driving well below the speed limit. And it's frustrating because you can't really see why they're driving so slow. That's primary appraisal. You've looked at this and you've said it's bad and it's blameworthy.
