I don't know about other people, and cannot speak for the masses as a whole. However, in my specific case, as well as one of my brothers, I know we could accept the situation with unusual ease, simply because of the way our minds work.
I would say it's mostly about personality and how open-minded someone is.
I'm open, accepting, and a firm believer in minding your own business. My brother has only two mindsets, rage and apathy.
Because of these things that make up our cores, I can easily see the situation as one that we would both think simply "Oh well." on the matter.
