I don't even know if it's a matter of "taking crap" as opposed to "taking responsibility".
If I'm responsible for getting a job done, and some idiot co-worker is messing it up, I get pissed. If some idiot on the road or in a parking lot puts my car at risk, which I'm responsible for, I get pissed. If I come home to my house, which I'm responsible for, and some lazy wife left it trashed, or some shit-heel kid broke something, I get pissed.
The biggest problem I have with "extreme responsibility" is that I now realize that 99% of people are total assholes, who have no problem destroying somebody's property or trashing a public space if they think they won't get caught. The other 1% are heroes that keep civilization running.

It's like that quote is it not? "Most people are like ghosts who haunt houses built by their betters".
