Why do people get mad when someone does a burnout?

Question

I was at the diner, and some guy at the intersection in a restored 60's car lit a huge patch of rubber. All the little kids were jumping up and cheering, while most of the adults were disgusted and yelling at the guy.

I'm not sure who the guy was hurting, but it sure made the kids happy.

Answer 1

Gee why do you care?

Answer 2

For the kids it's awesome display of power....for adults it's a shocking display of dangerous driving. I seen alot of accidents caused by burning or peeling out where the driver loses control of vehicle.

Answer 3

maybe they are just too grown up and serious to have a little bit of fun.  as long as noone was in danger, who cares?  we have much more important things to worry about.
