Reasons why third world countries will always be third world countries

‘Men urinating on the streets’ is not a very uncommon sight

Finding chewing gum stuck at the bottom of your table is not all that disgusting

People don’t consider it important to wear footwear in their houses and any where else other than on their beds.

Spitting on the roads is a frequent occurrence.

People have no time to eat at their homes so they eat in their vehicles. They throw out paper.

If there are no cops around it’s ok to take a U-turn even if illegal

Water is mostly in plastic bottles and food - in polystyrene containers

The tailors rarely stitch your clothes by the date that they promise they will.

Giving money to a beggar is easier than buying him food.

Giving is always difficult

Road accidents don’t surprise anyone

Sign boards have a few letters chipped off

In the supermarket even if the customer does not need a polythene bag he/she still takes it.

Often, people forget to say thank you and are too proud to say sorry often

Bargaining is a norm.

People like branded stuff more than their own products.

People write up long lists like this one and end up doing nothing about it.
