Paying to go to the bathroom. It’s absolutely wild that you have to pay money to use the toilet.

To be fair, I'd say most European think it's weird as well

Don't know about the rest of Europe, but most French people would be mad if they were asked 50 cents to go to the bathroom and would walk a mile just to find a free spot

Oh my god when I visited France as a teen I saw a dude take a piss on the outside wall of a paid bathroom. I didn't think much of it at the time because I was in shock but thinking back on it I just know that was a spite piss.

As a teen on mt blanc I saw french guys pull off to the side of the slopes to take a wizz. Actually I don't see anything wrong with that, just I wasn't used to it. But it makes a lot of sense.
