        if you’re this disturbed by the thought of not having access to toilet paper, carry your own wet wipes.

          I am guessing you are from the US. Probably have never traveled abroad. Different countries sometimes have different cultures.

          If you had money and could afford toilet paper, you wouldn’t go down to the public bathroom and empty the stalls to save $2. In other cultures some people would go and steal every roll from every stall, not because they don’t have $2, but because they can and it doesn’t bother them that people who use the bathroom won’t have toilet paper.

          Go to a country like Norway or Japan and look at the infrastructure. Things are immaculate because the overall population puts effort into keeping things nice. There is very little litter for example. When it comes to litter, US isn’t nearly as good. We have signs on the highway reminding people not to litter. And it’s well understood that in most public places if there aren’t garbage cans everywhere that litter will be the result, people won’t hang on to their garbage to avoid littering. Make it inconvenient not to litter and the trash goes on the ground. Go to New York City and read the paper, every other week there is a fire on the subway tracks caused by garbage people throw off the platform hitting the electric rail and causing sparks.

          Point is simple, don’t assume that every other country is exactly like the experience you have had in your country.
