I don't get what's so wrong with that saying. If there's something you want to see done, then the best way to see it done is to do it yourself - if it is in your power to do it. Rather than curse the darkness, change the light bulb.
It seems more or less like my father's rather pithier statement about using the facilities or leaving them. Only far more polite with no rude alternative suggestion of course.
It even leaves it completely up to you what you wish to see done.
It seems the most innocuous of suggestions. Other than, possibly, triteness, I just don't get what's supposed to be so offensive. Does it have meanings other than the obvious?
