There's a saying you might want to get familiar with
"If everywhere you look, all you see is assholes, maybe you're the asshole."
I knew it, I'm surrounded by Assholes!
Keep firing, assholes!
It's not "everywhere", it's the public service part of society. Never have I complained about, for instance, how well my food comes out at a restaurant, or how good the car mechanics here are (imagine a society where cars have overall better doctors than people and where this can be compared). It's always the everyday "mandatory" people in society. So I can say it's not a problem with myself.
Those two sets of professions differ in that one set has to interact with you directly and one doesn't. So you haven't really ruled out yourself as the problem.
It's funny how people make such sweeping generalisations like they're prophetic or something. Are some people shit? Sure, some suck at their jobs, and some are arseholes. Does that make all of them evil incarnate? Fuck no.
