This happened because deep inside he was really a jerk. Maybe he thought this was neat stunt. "Normal" people consciously or subconsciously understand that people have modus operandi and however they treat other people can happen to you in a similar situation. "Jerk" has no empathy by definition and that's what might be explaining their surprise to how people reacted even though to a normal person this is all completely logical. It just did not occur this might be a problem because their system of value does not recognize it as a problem (unless they are being fired) and at the same time their system of value is not concerned with people who might find it an issue but are no threat. If I witnessed something like this I would be looking for backdoor exit, too.
