I'd get these but my wife's boyfriend is bugging me for a new car so maybe next week.

holy shit.

1. This sounds more like an American issue than a NYC issue

2. Are you doing okay?

Can't commit crime on the subway if there is no subway to commit crimes on.

I think it's fair to say that there is way more disrespect for others here (in the US) compared to some other places around the world, and I think it's the individualistic mindset we have, so I'd say it is largely cultural. But some places also have really intricate garbage disposal systems so, that's the other part.

This issue in particular I actually posted about on /r/asknyc a few months ago when I saw someone tossing napkins out of their car. I was met mostly with agreement that it sucks, but there were a few that told me to mind my business or suck it up or whatever. It sucks. People suck.

People here (the City, State, and moreso the Country) are simply massive losers. It sucks. it really does, and you if you figure this out let me know.
