Comment on Video of migrant worker tied to forklift sparks outrage in South Korea

I don't know cross-cultural things and I'm really not trying to be insensitive, but in the US this is just a construction worker / factory worker type thing. It is irrespective of nationality (more likely to happen if they generally like the person being hazed or joked around with) and no hatred is intended.

A friend of mine worked with a guy that would sneak up behind new guys and hit them in the ass with a folding-out staple gun so they would get stapled. It's not right, my friend heard of this and went to the guy and told him that if he attempted it they were definitely going to get in a fistfight. I'm not saying it is right. But I'm saying it is "normal" at least in US working person culture.
