I like to think that people simply "cave-in" to the sheer peer-pressure; what's it called when people try to pull other people down to their "situation", simply because they don't wanna be unhappy alone? 

I know some of them too. I think it's usually an insecurity based need to keep up with their neighbors with fancy shit, or they have developed some expensive habits they need to fund.

Of course, having a "Baby" like @k00b and his "Stacker.News" are self-explanatory, but it's about people who a) don't want to and b) don't enjoy it, and *still* make it their little center of the universe.

Who Can Explain To Me The Point Of Work In The Modern Age?

It's not easy to find that situation, I guess. I have also had my share of boring, meaningless jobs that I couldn't wait to quit. 
I bet @k00b enjoys working on SN the vast majority of the time.
