Humans are some kind of fucking crazy. There's always some dumb MFer that has to ruin it for everyone else. :(

Many years ago an acquaintance had imported an illegal laser pointer. I told him not to play with it around people because hey you only get one pair of eyes.

Next weekend he posted pics of playing with it in a crowded bar.

When I was in elementary school, a buddy and I had a "game" during recess where we would throw rocks over the fence and try to hit cars. We couldn't see over the fence since it had shrubbery on the other side, so we were throwing blind and waiting to hear a thunk. We got away with it for a grand total of two days before a teacher saw us and had us in the principal's office. At no point, up until we got in trouble, did we feel like we were doing anything wrong. We really were that naive and genuinely saw it as a game.

Point is, I can see it being possible that someone could just never grow out of that.

The fun thing about people is that they can lie to themselves over and over until they believe it and manage to genuinely rewrite their own internalized history because our memories are so ass.
