I shove the turn 100% of the time. People who buy in for stupid amounts, post mid-orbit, and donk-bet $1.50 into a $20 pot are fairly likely to have stupid hands like T-high flush draws. As played I guess I don't hate calling down as you did. If he does call you with A4o, you'll get the $$ back anyway since you're sitting directly to his left and he's obviously beyond terrible.

I post as soon as I get to the table. Why is this bad?

Nothing bad by itself, but combined with buying in for some odd amount and min-raising your option, it's pretty much broadcasting donk rays over the entire valley.
