What's new

Tim Horton set any new single day global sales record in 61 years

It's almost like they transform into completely different creatures. It's easily one of the most bizarre things I have ever seen in my life and it still manages to amaze me.

What I cannot do is to be upset at someone who does not know any better, but clearly such people do, and then choose to act that way. The causes of this choice to behave this way despite knowing better, whatever they might be, elude me thus far.

When these same people go overseas, they tell their children to throw trash in the bin and not litter the streets. The hypocrisy of our people truly knows no bounds.

I was furious, but I kept it in until we got back home (with the bottle), and then I told them what I think. I wasn't polite and was already in a shitty mood, so I was quick to anger.

Yep, i told off a driver off for doing that on my last trip. He just casually slowed the car down to the side of the road and chucked out a drinks can right next to beauty spot.
I would have told him to pull over and pick up the can.

It is not just this trash issue. consider this:

Flight to Pakistan from the Western hemisphere: Orderly drive to the airport. Properly parked. Get cart to take luggage and get in line for check in. Well behaved kids. Smooth check in. Wait in lounge prior to boarding patiently. Get on board according to zones called by gate agent. Stow luggage properly. Sit in assigned seats. Smile at passengers around, may be even introduce yourself and have a pleasant chat. Obey crew commands. Have a nice flight.

The plane lands in Pakistan, the same people undergo a Jekyll and Hyde transformation. Everybody gets up before plane parks. Start screaming at kids to gather all bags and belongings. Rush to the door when it opens. Elbow people out of the way to get to the Entry Controls. Preferably bypass them totally with some high up patha leading the way. Have an argument or two on the way out with an unlucky passenger or staff. Go out into the freedom of the wild. Spend time there.

Flight from Pakistan back to the Western Hemisphere. Start late, and drive insanely to get to airport. Stop in the No parking Zone to unload. Hire a porter to manage the three mountains of cartons, boxes, paiti-size suitcases and the two kitchen sinks made of carved wood with inlaid brasswork. Cut through the crowds and line for check in led by a tout, ADC or or suitable low-level patha assigned for the role. Check in overweight bags and argue for twenty minutes over charges, holding everyone up. Go through controls and wait in the lounge. Put up dirty shoes on furniture to leave stains everywhere. Smoke half a pack in the No Smoking Area. Take a dump and leave toilet unsuitable for use for 24 hours. Board the plane. Sit in any seat you like and argue with the passenger whose actual seat it is to make them change their mind. Scowl at everyone around you for the rest of the flight and bark commands to the crew in broken Urdu spoken in a bastardized Pinglish accent. Put your bags in the most convenient overhead bins, not where your seats are. Don't listen to the crew commands, and chat on the phone to some important person, telling them exactly what you are doing with a move by move commentary in a loud voice. Light up a cigarette if you think highly of your status. Let kids jump off empty seat while passenger arrive. Plane takes off. While plane is climbing, leave seat to go to the bathroom and leave it after half hour, all wet, clogged up and unfit for anybody else to use for the rest of the 14 hour flight, taking all the tissues, napkins, soaps and anything else that you find useful all for yourself on the way out. Let kids play in aisles screaming and shoutng for the next seven hours. Tell them to take seats for the food. Make a mess eating and then keep kicking the seatback in front of you every three and half minutes for your exercise and for no one else to be able to sleep. Repeat as necessary.

The plane lands somewhere in the Western hemisphere. The same people wait for the plane to stop and the fasten seat belt light goes off. Gather your bags. Leave plane row by row. Get in line for Entry Controls. Gather luggage and leave airport by pre-arranged means.

What is it about the air and the water in Pakistan that causes such changes? Utterly fascinating study in human behavior. :D
It is called 'Magic Dirt Theory'.

This:
Rush to the door
After a 20+ hour semi-circumnavigation of the globe. Reminds me of an old joke about a person who was always insistent on sitting in the front row seat of a bus or train. When asked why, he responded, because that goes first to my town.

Expectations and consequences.

They know they are expected to behave abroad, if they don't there are no consequences.

In PK the expectation is that its law of the jungle and they know there are no consequences for misbehaving.

The dirt of Pakistan itself is blameless, I am sure of it.

There is also the joke of the blonde who chose to sit up front in First Class despite having an Economy Class ticket and no amount of persuasion by the staff would convince her to move. They told the Captain, who came back and whispered something in the blonde'' ear. She got up and went back to economy without any fuss. Back in the cockpit, he was asked what did you say to her that she accepted so nicely. The Captain said that I told her the front part of the plane was going to New York, not London, where she wanted to go. :D

That can be only if they actually care about how their behavior is seen by others, which they clearly do not, at all.

A person who does good only for fear of consequences or the hope of going to heaven is not a good person, but merely a piece of crap pretending to be a gold nugget.

McDonald's coffee happens to go very well with chicken McNuggets with sweet and sour sauce
Love me a big mac twice a week myself, its frozen n all doesnt mean one has to stopp😀

Just because it's more expensive doesn't mean that it's better. Starbucks is extremely overrated.
You got your opinion and rightly so, the millions shelling out what seems expensive to you have their own.

Let the people get what they want!

Agreed, people should spend their money on Starbucks if they feel that it is worth it. Have you tried making burgers at your home from scratch?

Bruh that much work scares me off, id rather do something’s that I am good at rather than doing everything myself.

Making food at home is not really saving money, rather its wasting money, think about that…

At least try to make it once, trust me it's worth the time and effort. Once one gets used to eating fresh food, it's quite difficult to go back to eating frozen food. Trying it once won't kill you. Do you have a crush/girlfriend/wife? If yes, then try to make this burger for her.

Also it's important for one to get out of his/her comfort zone and try out new things.

I agree with your point, but honestly not much of a foodie, I travel a lot and have to rely on airport food and restaurants, works for my work/lifestyle.

Regarding gf, yeah she does her stuff but I feel more of a guinea pig to her cooking trials most of the time 😄

Well now you actually have an incentive to make this burger. Try to make this burger for your girlfriend and maybe she will end up loving the recipe so much that she will start making this for you. Surely you must find time to make this at least once a week.

Certainly, the rich-poor divide will always exist. At least we should try to make it so the poor have a dignified life where they don't have to line up for friggin' flour in an agrarian country while people are lining up for a 5k cup of coffee.

1. The concept of "rich and poor" will vanish right now if right now we decide to abolish money system. Simples. :)

2. Yes, the obscenity of the contrast of a 5000 rupee coffee cup in Starbucks while the hungry beggars outside look on through the glass walls and will never be allowed inside... must be abolished. Only recently I watched a clip on Indian TV about a dog-friendly restaurant, in India where the daily-wager Arveena Khatoon died in the 2020 Lockdown because of hunger, thirst and exhaustion by traveling thus in one of Modi jee's special trains to drive away migrant workers from their work cities back to their home towns and villages because Modi jee didn't want to give them free food, water and tea three times a day for the duration of the Lockdown yet Modi jee presided upon the joys of Indian Capitalists whose earnings increased more and more.

I want to do this : Collect beggars near a dog-friendly restaurant and go inside that place and chase away the dogs inside and their owners too, splash water on the tables and chairs to remove the dirtiness of the dogs and then eat what the human visitors eat there, all for free.

That's the only practical course of action. After all, no one wants communism. Right, @jamahir?

Someone condensed the desires of Communism into this wonderful Wikipedia introduction. Why wouldn't any reasoning and empathetic person want Communism ? :)
Communism (from Latin communis, 'common, universal') is a left-wing to far-left sociopolitical, philosophical, and economic ideology within the socialist movement, whose goal is the establishment of a communist society, a socioeconomic order centered around common ownership of the means of production, distribution, and exchange that allocates products to everyone in the society. Communist society also involves the absence of private property, social classes, money, and the state.

I was born and raised in a village its not a phase but ingrained in my blood city dwellers don't get the feeling of being in a pind the tree shades, the endless fields.

I am a city chap. Can you name five philosophers from your village ?
