Most disgusting food, stupidest people, worst weather, whatever reason. What is the shittiest part of your country?

    New Zealand has a ‘Shit town of the year’ election and honestly it’s a gamble each year because all the towns are shit.

      The sad part is they have a lot of really nice stuff in them. It’s just that the people in them want me not to exist, or, if they concede my right to exist, want me to be an underclass citizen who anyone who isn’t in my reference class can shit on.

        It’s hard to be in the metro areas of these states (Atlanta, Austin, Miami, etc) because they are being held hostage by the state government and are gerrymandered to hell.

      I love this answer because it goes for almost every country in the world.

      Also, they think they’re the centre of the country and ate better than everyone else, right!?

        lol this does not apply to Ottawa (Canada). We hate ourselves and know that most of the country forgets we exist. Even the leader of our province forgets we exist 90% of the time

          Did you guys have an NHL team at one point? The Monarchs or the Tigers or something?

    Araucanía (Chile 🇨🇱), does not matter your skin colour, language or religion, nobody is safe there.

    Special mentions:

    • Talca, every single bad thing that happens in my country happens there first (COVID, floodings, forest fires, etc). It’s a common joke among chileans that we should just “Blow-up Talca” or that “Talca doesn’t exist”.

    • Estación Central (Santiago), you take your bus or train as soon as possible and you get the hell out of there, because the odds of you getting robbed (or even worse, stabbed 🔪) by staying too long are very far from 0. Do not ever go near that place at night time. 🌃🚫

    Scotland. Just insert the Groundskeeper Willie meme here and that should cover it.

    Nice enough place but people can be so adversirial within in the same city, region or coast depending on the issue at hand. Some really annoying polarising opinions with seemingly no room for negotiation?

    Maybe it’s an older generation and rattling their cages though? Here’s hoping.

    London Metro definitely, utter shithole. It’s a moneysuck to the extent that I don’t know how the average bloke can survive. Run by gigarich fuckronauts, sold off to foreign criminals; one big £12-a-pint, can’t fucking move for people, money laundering operation.

        That’s just as well cos we don’t get up to much else. Not that we’re total cynics; sometimes we’re happy enough to break into fits of sarcasm.

          This, I got affections to that sarcasm. Besides, I feel that it is usually delivered in a delicate blend of linguistic spices that tickle my senses far beyond that french fries American English.

      As cities go, I found New York to be worse on a few days visit. Smelled terrible, and if there was a window open, at any hour of the day or night I could hear sirens. Most of my memories of DC are the subway, which was decent, and marching through the streets / locking down buildings with the group I was with. What’s awful about it in your experience?

        the government lol. I was making a joke. I’ve never been there, I’m sure physically it’s a nice place (dc, not ny).
