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 Β£12-a-pint, can't fucking move for people, money laundering operation.

MODERATORS
May not be the most popular opinion in this thread, but hell I love British people hating... stuff.
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.
Just 100x better than Canadian public transport :'). We just built an LRT line in Ottawa and it's down more often than it's working. It has cost the city ridiculous amounts of money to fix it even though it's brand new
Bavaria
We should just give Bavaria to the Austrians.
The capital, everything is so expensive there..
Texas or Florida
'Red' states. Texas, Florida, etc.
Ah yes, the shithole states.
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.
AraucanΓa (Chile π¨π±), 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".
-
EstaciΓ³n 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 πͺ) by staying too long are very far from 0. Do not ever go near that place at night time. ππ«
Flevoland (the Netherlands). It has Urk and Almere, what's more to say?
Any Autobahn.
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.
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.
Are you saying their hubris makes them the worst? Or is it actually terrible in Madrid and the locals are unaware?
More about the former, in my opinion.
washington dc
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).
