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

    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.

      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?

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

    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?

    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.

      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

        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).
