      The question was, what KIND of shithead. The authors expected to find it was narcisistic people, but they turned out to be wrong, it was an entirely different kind of shithead. When you are dealing with a shithead, it is important to know what kind of shithead you have on your hands. This is good science.

    I figured it was more a way to mark their territory, like roosters crowing and dogs barking into the night. That too goes for the people playing loud music. But the study days there are indeed some sadistic tendencies at work so some people find it fun to do this just to annoy others.
