    It's mostly because people have a priority of things to get. That's nature with weekly lockouts.

    Assuming you're in A9 and want a bolt and would take a chain as booby prize.
    The loot is: pedal, pedal, chain, bolt.

    Now you would pass on the pedals and roll on the bolt first. If you hit a 90+, you sure won't roll on the chain before everyone else rolled on the bolt.
    Because if you roll on both you may end up with the chain, instead of a bolt just because everyone rolled/passed on the chain first.

    Now there's this other person who needs a chain and would take a bolt as booby prize...

    Exactly. If I only need a shaft and there's only one up for rolls, there's a chance someone else in the party rolled on EVERYTHING and maybe rolled a 99 on the shaft. Since I didn't roll shaft yet, he/she may have won on another roll and canceled out the chance to win the shaft. I don't think this is bad manners or cheating the system, its just increasing your odds against people that don't care what loot they get. If EVERYONE was after the shaft, this wouldn't work.

    edit: I don't wait the 5 whole minutes because I'm impatient too. I probably wait 60 seconds or until everything that I passed on was checked off the list.
