You're right, so what. However everybody's perspective on such a subject varies greatly. I'm guessing you've got few miles and experience on the clock so you're a bit more blase than some young lad who's a bit more self conconscious. So much so that he he only felt he had one answer to his perceived problem. The act was callous and perpetrated by bullies who if confronted in real life would probably be a gutless wimp
Like they say on the oil rigs, "there are them who do, and there are them that lie" Nothing wrong with it at all, lets hope we don't grow out of it
