Oh man, I'm right there with you. Give me characters who at least understand that good intentions don't equal good consequences, who are aware that their actions may affect other people, and who at least try to take that into account.
Those characters are interesting, and sympathetic, and people I'm willing to spend time with (on the page, on the screen). The other sort? If I find myself wanting to shake them every two minutes because of their idiocy, I'm probably not going to stick around long enough for them to redeem themselves--assuming they ever do.
