Because they're getting out of having to do something that you do have to do. People are always annoyed when other people get something they could get themselves, but just haven't been bothered enough to do so.

They simply have to post a form on the way to work. You have to take time out to go and scribble an X on a piece of paper, (or pull a lever or whatever you do), thus wasting five or so precious minutes they don't have to.

Of course, that may not be it at all...
