What would make seemingly normal looking mostly white professionals on a commuter train turn into a pack of wild dogs rooting around in a garbage bin over a .25 cent tabloid newspaper.....recycled of course, they're dumpster diving after the train disembarks...I've seen it over and over, one vertically challenged little guy actually hoisted himself partially into the bin and was trying to ferret around for a paper, and all you see are these little legs and shiny dress shoes waving around. At that point, I am tempted to just hand these people a quarter, "here, take it, buy a fresh new copy on me, really!"....why do people do that, is it the satisfaction that it's free? The thrill of the "hunt"?....

I wonder if the answer to your question is substantially different than when those seemingly normal-looking, mostly hispanic professionals on commuter trains turn into a pack of wild dogs rooting around in garbage bins for a .25 cent tabloid newspaper.
