Habituation

Humans are creatures of habits. Sometimes we do things for no reason, things that seem a little unreasonable and even stupid, but still we do it.

In the coffeeshop I usually go there's this man who reads the paper, but that's not his habit. Every day at about 10:30 he get's ups picks up about €6 in €1 coins and spends them one after another in a claw machine. Every day he does that and I don't think I’ve never seen him grab anything.

I don't understand the reason, but I surely understand the possibility. Meaning, I have no idea why someone would to this, but I know that is possible for sometimes I find myself doing things I’d otherwise consider... stupid.
