Psychologically, I would be angry because, apparently, everyone else was littering but it was just me who was picked for the punished. It would be unjust. Also, there were no trash bins so I couldn’t had behave even if I wanted to. That doubles the injustice. Moreover, I was carrying the cup for hours, you do-gooder moron!
Historically people had to develop a thick skin if they wanted to be pro-social because of exactly this. I think from there you get the “turn the other cheek” phrase (personified in Jesus being crucified) or the idea of an invisible being watching you doing good or bad deeds and rewarding/punishing you in the afterlife.
The Ostblock, of course, got rid of these ideas. Not sure what’s going on with the Muslim countries though (something something colonialism?)
