True. Though in fairness most on the map have only a minority defacating openly. Most people in these countries use actual shit holes.

Same. I would have thought India would be higher, but 5-10% of 1+Billion people is still a lot.

It happens on public transportation in the US as well.

I stepped in barf on an LA subway car. I think I still have PTSD from it.

@taiwan_girl stepping in vomitus is bad enough, but imagine riding public transportation and someone drops a deuce in front of you.

Not so open air public defecation, but I gotta get something off my chest…
I’ve seen this x2 in the past few years in public areas inside hospitals. Zippo no one was rushing in to clean it up. Everyone stepping around it. In one instance I was reprimanded by a nurse, she threatening to call security on me for voicing up her rationale for leaving the mess there.

Not your proudest fap, I imagine.

Kind of amazing that a dozen years ago, UNICEF funded this wild music video in an effort to get Indian people from pooping in fields, on streets, and everywhere but the bathroom.

India is such a country of contrast. I am not sure I have seen/met richer people, but not sure I have seen/met poorer people. And often of the times, they are living very close to each other.
