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 capital, everything is so expensive there..
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?
Bavaria
We should just give Bavaria to the Austrians.
As a Bavarian: Yes absolutely. Itβs not like I hate my fellow Germans but from a cultural and historic standpoint, this makes sense. I think it would get a majority in Bavaria and if Germany wants us to go too. Letβs go!
'Red' states. Texas, Florida, etc.
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«
Problem is, the stupidest people live in the most beautiful areas and make the worst, but also most unique food. But it's probably St. Gallen.
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.
For social idealogy the American South takes the cake for stupidity.
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.
Any Autobahn.
Texas or Florida
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 Β£12-a-pint, can't fucking move for people, money laundering operation.
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.
