From Austria:

The amount of plastic waste you produce.

Every shopping trip you get (single use) plastic bags, every food item is packaged individually. Even your plates are often times made from plastic, as is the cutlery (sometimes).

All those plastic cups in every restaurant - it's disgusting.

It's insanity.

Also: general waste is labeled "landfill" in some places.

TSA, but I guess you know that this is not normal?

Also the constant humming of ACs in New York drove me crazy.
