I wonder how they thought this would go down. Were they just hoping that their mum wouldn’t notice a $200 charge? Were they going to say, “oh, can’t get refunds, guess I’ll pay you back over time” (ask for forgiveness instead of permission, basically)? What was the end game?
I’m going to assume a certain level of mental immaturity. Either still a child or in a child-like mental state.
Could be a child (and in this case probably is) but I’ve known people like this as grown-ups too.
They just get really excited about the thing and want to have/do/whatever the thing and have absolutely no inhibition about using whatever method at their disposal to get it.
The rationality of the choice and the consequences just don’t factor in - or are at least something their brain tells them is “a problem for later”
