The problem has been brought up at the City Council meetings and who is responsible for locking and cleaning the public restrooms. When there is a public restroom there's filth left everywhere, for some reason they don't put used toilet paper in the toilets, but instead it is either put in the trashcan or the floor.

This is more of something which really does go on.

There are those who are sin verguenza, "without shame" who piss anywhere and everywhere just because they can. Most of the others have probably been drinking and would rather frequently urinate somewhere besides in their pants and it's time to piss right now.

There are plenty of white Americans in the second category as well.

Public urination is a crime, which nominally is a misdemeanor if the subject's tallywhacker isn't publicly seen. However - seen or not - either way there are people who are classified as sex offenders upon conviction of public urination.

The toilet paper thing has to do with extremely bad plumbing in Mexico, and the act of not flushing the paper with the poo is an ingrained habit to avoid clogging the plumbing. If there isn't a trash can or other "receptacle" next to the toilet, it goes on the floor next to the toilet.

An American will think "what filthy pigs", the Mexican national is probably thinking "they didn't leave a trashcan", the thought that the paper can be flushed probably doesn't occur to the majority - a very few might be displaying some defiance in a cultural change of habit. The former has to do with education, the second there is no handy cure.

This is not to excuse willful public voiding of body waste by anyone, but sometimes it happens - it could happen to anyone of any nationality under any circumstance or sense of urgency, including to anyone who contributes to this thread.
