This is very much a culture thing.
In Israel, there is no such thing as privacy.
Americans have a hard time getting used to sitting – say with a clerk – and having a strange person just walking up and not only listening in but even crooning their head over to see what you wrote in the forms (and sometimes giving you unsolicited advice).
Or sitting on a bus and stranger giving you mussar on how you talk to your child.
Israelis, on the other hand, have a hard time understanding how in America privacy is taken to such extremes that someone could be dying on the street and nobody would go help because it is “none of my business”.
