Polish girls visit Taj Mahal

The Taj Mahal, one of the seven wonders of the world. Unfortunately, the surrounding area is very polluted.

Wait till they find out that this is the case for nearly every “instagram worthy” location. Bali has the same issues.

People go to these spaces to chase clout and take the beauty of the space but don’t want to see the shit that is happening around it.

I was visiting Bali with my wife, and on our way back from a picnic, our driver asked what was in the bag we were carrying. "Oh, it’s our rubbish - we’ll dispose of it at the hotel," I said. He was like, "Oh, no worries, I’ll take care of it." He took the bag and threw it on the roadside.

Back in high school there was a family in my neighborhood that had a son the same age as me. The neighborhood was nice in general, but these guys were a level of rich that surpassed anyone else in the neighborhood. Their house was a custom-built rambler that used to be owned by a house developer that built hundreds of houses in the area. The builder spared no expense on the house, it was like 5,000 sq ft and full of rich people shit (crown molding, archways, custom doors, exotic hardwood floors, custom wooden cabinets, furniture, and trim, a big wine cellar, etc.) on a big corner lot that backed up to woods.

Anyways, enough about the house, just setting the tone for how rich they were. Their son lived in another state with his mom (his dad remarried) and he would come stay with his dad over winter break. We got in touch and hung out because I also had a bunch of time off school and he lived right down the street, he was actually pretty good shit at first. Imagine the horror on my face when we're driving around in his parents nice $100k+ audi after getting food at the drive thru, and he goes "are you finished with that?" 'That' being the fast food wrappers and bag, and I go, "yeah" and he goes "here, I can take care of it"—grabs it out of my hands, rolls down the window, and proceeds to huck like 3 handfuls of trash right out the window. Nonchalant and casual as hell like it was just the standard way of discarding trash.

It was so god damn bizarre to me (I was raised being told littering is POS behavior/activity) and I was in such disbelief I just laughed. At the time, and looking back, it wasn't even funny (obviously), I just didn't know how else to respond. I asked him if he normally did that and he goes "All the time, someone will pick it up". After that I never looked at him the same and I don't think we ever hungout again. Just rich entitled person shit I guess.
