Double or nothing?

I've been playing the 'Double Or Nothing' SNG's for a bit of fun and doing pretty well at them. Almost every tournament I'm floored by some of the stupidity though. time after time I see big stacks betting each other out of pots when a shortstack, or worse still, THE LAST shortstack is allin. I honestly don't know if those people are mentally challenged or are drinking and/or don't care?

Here's some classic examples below with the last two hands.
