Romanians live with the though that their country is uncivilized. That people over there are rude and misbehaved. That common sense is extremly rare and so on.
I also used to think like that.
Here in the US you won’t see something like that. No sir, over here people know how to behave and always do the right thing. Or do they?
I was in my car, on the highway, the other day. Since there road was undergoing repairs, only two lanes could be used. So the two usable lanes were overcrowded and moving at a slow pace.
In a Honda in front of my car there were two women. Due to road conditions I saw that the one on the right, at some point, started to brush her hair. Who would do that in a car? You’ll get hair all over. But wait… there’s more. The young lady decided to get rid of the hair that was stucked to her hairbrush by throwing it through the opened car window. Amazing. Now everybody that goes through there could enjoy her hair.
There you go. So it doesn’t matter where you are. There will still be misbehaved people around.
So what matters most is the fines you must pay if you get caught. Litter and it will hurt.
