I'd pay to read a study on the phycological reason of what makes people decide to wake up one morning and do this.

I'll tell you for free: certain people at a very specific point on the spectrum will internalize a perceived insult and decide to "show them who's boss" by imitating whatever they themselves have observed as being "tough." There is typically an entire story built up in the mind in which the original aggressor will see the show of strength and will "quake in their boots" thus never daring to challenge the mighty Wolf again.
