There are people born to scold others, and there are people born to be scolded by others. I am (perhaps like many of you) one of the scolded. It seems that the more power or property we are given, or that we grant ourselves, the more argumentative we become. The more polite we are, the more argumentative we become. Do we hire an accountant to help us with the bills? They'll scold us about the bills. Do we go to a restaurant that we pay exorbitant prices for, and we're not very hungry or we're very hungry? The waiter will give us a hard time. If we take a taxi so we can get somewhere quickly, the taxi driver will scold us for not taking things slowly. Except for the lady at Google Maps, everyone scolds us.

Scattered and poorly sorted brush, papers and bottles left in the streets, shouting and music at night, dog droppings in parks and sidewalks, and even barbecues in public spaces and viral challenges to defecate in municipal swimming pools. These are some of the most frequent acts of behavior classified as uncivil by municipal ordinances and which carry fines that can exceed hundreds of euros.
