Bad Habit at Coffee shops & other Eating spots.

As I was having my Lunch at a quiet corner, I saw a man also having lunch nearby. As he was eating he lifted one leg and put it on his chair. When he had finished his lunch he put his bowl on the table, lifted his other leg and put it on the chair, as though the first leg needed company. Then he let off a big belch, and spat into the bowl from which he had been eating his lunch.
I began to wonder from where he got this bad habit. Not from the school he went to. Then where? From his home? And this happened a few days after the PM's speech. I wondered if he would have done the same if the PM had been sitting nearby.
How do we correct this kind of habit? I am certain, if I had followed him, i would have seen other dirty habits of his. Not that I would have followed him anywhere!
What do we do when we see this happening in many an eating place.
I hope these dirty people ( I use the word people reservedly) because he behaved like an animal, would change their filthy habits, and really make this society of ours a gracious one.

Its a consequence of poor parenting I'm sure. We may have a developed economy, a wonderful infrastructure and a supposedly great education system but no one seems to be getting educated where it counts!

Yes,I believe that may be a cause, but the question is, how are we going to change filthy habits, that is already entrenched in some individuals. Can we do it in one generation? I think it can be done with intensive campaighns, posters,etc. We should go again to schools for their help.
