Unfortunately some folks find it necessary to ban behaviors that don't actually harm other people in order to protect the ones doing the behavior--save them from themselves. Lawmakers might outlaw screwing in the elevator simply because they believe it's dangerous, not because anybody is particularly offended.
And I don't believe that any percentage of the affected population needs to be pissed off -- I'd say, a percentage of the people who find themselves in charge of making rules have to be pissed off, and to hell with the rest of us.
But then, we live in a democracy, right? So how can that be?
Wait . . . no, it's a republic. People are always getting that mixed up.
