Rainwater makes good savings

It would seem that the people Ceaucescu moved by force, from the rural areas of Romania to the thriving cities created on the backbone of the great romanian socialist industry haven't died. I was taking shelter from the big bad thunderstorm that caught me by surprise. I was staying at the entrance of an apartment building when a woman came and put her buckets underneath the pipe that evacuated water from the rooftop. I calculated with my friends. She made 7 trips with the buckets, getting a cool 280l for free. The cubic meter of water is about 0.36 RON, that means a whopping 13 cents. That's why Romania has the worst public health, because people are stuck with their poor, unhealthy habits. I asked the woman and she isn't affiliated to any water convervation group, she just does this because "it's free", said the woman.
