Similar no-no rules include spitting in the street and chewing gum while riding city transportation, both punishable with $200 fines. Among other strange laws, if you are convicted of littering three times, you may be sentenced to street-cleaning duties on several Sundays. While doing the work, you’ll have to wear a sign proclaiming, “I am a litterer.”
