It perhaps depends on how long he's been watching it. I didn't mind it in the first couple years, fly on the wall of human interaction...I found it mildly interesting and maybe a tad entertaining.
Then you see the nastier side, the bullying side, the childish side...and worst of all....the celebrity side of it all
Equally childish
Growing up in St Ives, there was a statue of Oliver Cromwell in the Town Centre:
As teenagers there was a challenge to "dress" the Statue, almost an initiation rite
The Police knew and provided it was not damaging, would turn a blind eye while you committed the deed and would then appear and tell you to remove it.
Challenge completed and suitably Policed

One of my proudest moments as a parent was when my then 3 year old daughter did this to her Grandmother.

So do you not mind it that much then, or have you only one foot?
Not only that, they usually react incredibly badly if anyone turns the table on them. Tossers...

The fountain in the middle of bexleyheath was filled in for just that reason. And is now an elaborate flower bed.

Funnily enough, I once worked somewhere where a senior manager did exactly that on a Christmas do.
A complaint was made, and in the New Year, HR met with every employee to explain why works dos counted as work, and yes, you could be disciplined for what goes on at them.
That's over a thousand employees, at a nominal £60 an hour *each* of lost production time.
Good effort.

Not that long ago, it occurred, without the use of washing-up liquid in Castleford
Various detergents/chemicals further upstream, foamed when the Aire reached the wier
Residents took washing in, as it bleached it, & cars paintwork was damaged

I remember the pool and fountain at CMK Shoping Centre, now called the Centre MK. As a young TVP bobby I'd often pop into the security office lounge to use their loo or have a quick brew. Security once told me that in the hot weather people would ignore the "no swimming" signs and go for a dip. Security would saunter across and inform them the pool was full of sodium hypochlorite descaler, and if they ran home quick enough they might make it before their clothes dissolved away to nothing and their skin fell off.

According to some people, cycling as an adult is a childish thing for me to do.

One of our Matrons has a broken ankle, at the moment, & is a patient
Today, two of the Directors went to her Ward, got suitable equipment, & went into her room, on the pretext of bed-bathing her..........
Cue much hilarity from the Nursing staff
