People do things that are considered crazy all the time in normal functioning society, with all the comforts that come with it and make life more bearable. Someone pisses you off? Ah, to hell with it, you go and have a nice cold one, turn on the TV, and watch seinfeld deliver sugarcoated antisocial commentary resonating perfectly with your state of mind. But what if you couldn't have a cold one, couldn't see your TV friend agree with you, and would have to face the events of the day much earlier as the nightly electrical distractions become unavailable? Then you have "the trigger effect". Many people find it far fetched, conceived, self-indulgent, frivolous. They do so out of their air-conditioned apartment, eating ready-made microwave popcorn, downloading music for free and waiting for the pizza guy to arrive.
