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

    Probably only because of my closeness to it probably blinded me too much to see a lot of the decent people that probably exists, but where I grew up. A small coastal town in Telemark, Norway. They are just so goddarn closeminded, unapologetic assholes, casually sexist, ignorant tribal grouped, backtalking rednecks of a people. And I thought that was the uncomfortable norm until I moved just a bit out from there.

    I’m just glad they aren’t very religious on top of that or they would have been completely insufferable. On the other hand, I haven’t seen them racist, ableist, nor lazy. So there are probably worse places in Norway.

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

      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!?

    I’m from Venezuela. It’s really hard to say, most of the border with Colombia and Brasil is dominated by crime and the law of the Paracos or Guerrilleros.

    I might say La Guajira in Zulio might be the worst region, but also Petare in Caracas is the biggest favela in the world and is way too dangerous, a straight up no-go-zone.

    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. 🌃🚫

    Madrid. In my opinion, they see themselves as the coolest, the only who matter in Spain, while the rest of us are merely peasants… assuming we exist.

    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.

      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).
