More importantly, the fact that Peter's behavior here is obviously nothing more than a means to an end makes me reject it on principle alone, because much like a lot of Mark Waid's more sitcom-esque moments, he seems to come up with the punchlines first, and then build his stories backwards to set up those punchlines, regardless of whether they fit the characters or not. I don't think he even CARES if this fits Peter's character or not, so long as he gets his punchline of Peter waking up next to an apparent stranger. I will ALWAYS reject such writing.
