A teenager was very naughty

Well as you stated he wanted a 'free hat'. As I am sure he was also curious to see if he could get away with it.

See response #1.

Wanted a free hat and thought he could (or wanted to see if he could) get away with it!

Personally i think there is worse things out there a teenager can do in this society than try and get a free hat. It is probally just a bit of fun to see what he could get free, i know several teenagers who would probally do the same thing, doesn't make them bad.

I strongly believe that any teenager who engages in this type of behavior is a jerk, and he should be disciplined by his parents. Such companies don't have time to waste on a teenager who likes to play jokes and pranks on people. In the business world, time is money.

I feel like I'm answering questions on an elementary ethics school exam.

I think that he needed a joke more than a free hat. But it's not easy for him to get it. Obviously, such a big amount of hats can't be bought personally, but by an association or a company, so the provider must claim some information about the client. Then I wonder how the boy could get rid of this trick.

He probably wanted to see what would happen. You know how teenagers are. They will do anything for the thrill of it. Kathy.

Probably it was just for fun. Unknowingly, he doesn't realize that what he did could make the company lose money for meeting up his order. He was having some fun at the company's expense, you know how some teenagers are now a days. They just do what comes to their minds without really thinking of the consequence of what they did.

Usually teenagers are shortsighted . Sometimes they can't realize what result may come by their utterance. It's nothing but fault of their age. When they will pass their teenage gradually they will be responsible in their talking.
