I don't know why that seems crazy to us. It's exactly how many businesses treat their customers, particularly subscription businesses like magazines, internet, cable TV or cell phones. New customers get great deals, come-one, special perks while existing, loyal customers get increased fees, lowered services and crappy service.
Really... they're like the Twitter users of the animal world aren't they? Wanting to share their own stuff with complete strangers and trying to extend their friendship network as much as possible - even at the cost of relationships that they already have.
I'm just happy I'm not the only one who prefers chopsticks. A few years back I gave up on the noodles with a fork combination because it just doesn't work for me.
I do use a fork, but this is a pet peve of mine... I'm talking about when random nobodies (elitist snobs of zero relevance to my life) decide for everyone else what IS the proper way to cook/eat/wear/drink/brew/sip/sample/etc something, or otherwise.
Screw all of that pretentious bullpuckery. I'll eat spaghetti with my hands if I want to and you can gasp and frown all you like while pointing at the rulebook and being a so-called expert because your friends agree you are. I honestly don't care.
And so much more... on the other hand, my son hasn't barfed into my slippers, or autographed my leather furniture with a Sharpie (reports from two friends with children in the last few weeks).
Gotta love how they write the explanations. Translation: We made the floor all wavy, and made it look like a big crystal thingie was sticking out in the middle.
Standard fare here in Montreal for most of my life... but when I was younger they used to just toss it aside on the lawns of people, this is why most older people remember there being lots more snow to build forts ans play with when they were children. Now since they haul it away in trucks there not all that much left behind for kids.
