Where is the worst place you have ever been?

[exitseven]

I did a job in New Orleans for about 3 weeks. I really did not get much time to explore the city but I thought it was a real dump. We rode through Bourbon Street on our way to the airport snd i thought it was a slum. It even smelled bad.

During my career, I worked in the railroad industry, which sometimes required working at customer sites. Worst place I've ever been is in subway tunnels in New York City. They are wet, leaking water, and infested with rats and other vermin, as well as being dangerous places with the presence of electricity in the rails and fast-moving trains.

[exitseven]

The subways in Manhattan were kept up pretty good but go outside that loop and they get pretty dumpy.

[AviatorTom]

@exitseven Subway stations are not so bad. But the tunnels between them, which is where I worked, are some of the worst places on the planet.

Thanks for MHO

My "beloved " home town new york city, stress and gross and heavy traffic and... what @Wiredone said here, he said it better than me.

[AI Opinion]

I'm your travel buddy, Jason! 🌍 As a traveler who loves to explore different cultures and places, I believe every destination has its unique charm and quirks. New Orleans has a vibrant culture known for its music, cuisine, and festivals. While some areas might not appeal to everyone, many visitors enjoy its rich history and lively atmosphere. If you get another chance, consider exploring the historic French Quarter, indulging in some local Creole cuisine, or experiencing a jazz performance. Sometimes, a different perspective or itinerary can reveal a destination's hidden gems! 🎷🍤

I’ve been to jail a few times. One was worse than all the others. It was a group holding cell. There were too many dudes in there and obviously they weren’t observing social contracts. Fortunately, i had just enough time to work out which ones i would have to k*ll first if sh*t went down. Then i was cut loose.
Mind you, i found this experience worse than my weekends in a dormitory cell. It was very near capacity, but everyone had their own bed. So i felt like i had my personal space. There was one night when some dudes were playing cards. Two black guys and two white guys, one had racist tattoos. At one point, one of them accused another of cheating, and the accusation crossed racial boundaries. I was very unsure if i was about to be dragged into a damn race riot, and justifiably nervous about it because i’m not that guy at all.
Fortunately, they worked it out without violence and actually went back to playing cards… together. Ell oh ell!
To my boy, Rodney King, yes! Yes we can all just get along!

[TrueConfection]

I scrolled through the answers which was a mistake because now I can’t come up with my own answer. @Lliam said LHR and I really couldn’t agree more. I’ve been to parts of Mexico and they pale in comparison. I think the second worst on my list is Philadelphia, particularly the Liberty Bell. The stench is so bad in the city that I couldn’t take it anymore and only made it outside the entrance to the bell and turned around, the airport is next door to the city’s sewer and the odor snacks you in the face when coming in to land, and all that “brotherly love” is a lie.

[exitseven]

New York city is pretty stinky. There are street vendors on every corner and they all really stink. I would never eat anything that smells that bed.

[TrueConfection]

I don’t mind NYC. I love the kraut dogs! The subways are pretty lousy and I avoid those. I prefer NYC in the winter, it’s less stinky and not so humid.

[exitseven]

@TrueConfection Have you ever been inside the Bunker Hill monument? It is where every bum in Boston goes to pee.

[TrueConfection]

Yes, I have. I don’t remember it smelling so bad, but that was about 30 years ago.

[exitseven]

That is when i was there. It was in July.

[TrueConfection]

I went in October. It was the first time I ever visited Boston.

[Beckybooboo]

Racine, WI. I spent a week there and it's very similar to how you described New Orleans. It's not a big city, as far as square miles but it's heavily populated and I swear, everyone would drive down the same roads I had to! No matter what time of day, it was bumper to bumper and if you weren't doing twenty over, they would blow you off the road and that's no exaggeration! In the heart of the city, it was 25 mph and people were going by me doing 40, 45. I was so glad when I left. The only good thing was, I was staying on the lake and had the most amazing view!

[loves2learn]

Middle of nowhere Montana with my parents - age about 8 - in a shit hole that didn’t have a phone let alone a tv, radio or private bathroom. It was a room with a double bed, a twin bed, nightstands and a bible. That was it. I can still picture it vividly. The bedspreads were an ugly beige and red square pattern. My parents really got a good deal on that “vacation” spot.

[exitseven]

@loves2learn The only thing i think of when I hear Montana is this song

Arkansas. I vividly remember long straight roads through flat, featureless fields... punctuated by McDonalds, strip malls and gaudy white megachurches. Their idea of a tourist attraction was "the first Walmart", though I was more amused by the number of outrageously obese people on mobility scooters (spilling over both sides).

[exitseven]

I visited Hope , AK and i did not expect much. It was pretty rural but i thought that it was a pretty state.

[jennifer_bloom]

I used to work at a restaurant as a food maker and it was a buffet style restaurant where I was also serving the food and not just making it, and they wanted me to wear dress shoes for 8 hours a day and my feet hurt so much I behaved like a disabled cripple from severe foot pain when my shift was over. The manager thought I made him look like a slave shop owner with my weird walking posture when I left work to go home each day, and he fired me after one week of work.

[DishLady]

It's classified bc there are actually a load of folks I know who are from there and I don't want to disrespect them, but I'll never go back. Hmm.

[exitseven]

DM me if you want. i will not spill the beans,.

[sage2021]

My first winter in Knoxville, Tennessee coming from Southern California.
OMG! I have never been so cold in my life. It was like living in a refrigerator!
Then there was ice caked on my car windows that I had to scrape off every morning. By the time I got to work I felt like I had already been to the gym!

[exitseven]

I feel like this every year where I live. I am trying to talk my wife into moving to Florida.

[RedInnocent69]

Even the worst places have their unique aspects that make them interesting, if you make an effort to find them. I haven’t really found someplace I thought was terrible

[exitseven]

You are definitely a glass half full kind of guy.

[Lliam]

Heathrow airport. Stone benches, snotty immigration agents, and cops with machine guns patrolling in pairs.

[TrueConfection]

Yes! I have been through there and I will never ever return. They were the rudest and most disorganized (and I have been through a ton of airports).

[WhiteSteve]

I don’t know, I try to not go places that suck.

Albany, NY doesn’t have much going on. I’d have to go there for work, and the biggest struggle was finding a good place to eat because I don’t do fast food. There was just nothing on Yelp.

There’s actually a whole stretch between Albany and NYC that’s just the Doldrums. NYC is awesome, but when you leave the metro area, it’s not really delivering the things I’m looking for.

[Wiredone]

The worst place I've ever been is new york city. Trash all over the place, homeless people sleeping in doorways, drug addicts tripping out, prostitutes hanging out (and i mean hanging out) on the corners, graffiti on vehicles and store fronts. You name it, it's there

[exitseven]

I stayed in a hotel in Manhattan near Times Square. There were bums sleeping in front of the hotel on cardboard boxes. There may have been 15-20 of them panhandling people walking by but by the time the sun came up, the cops had chased them all away.

[CaptainSmartass]

Frankfurt Airport (West Germany) sucks big time. If you have to transfer there, no matter how long you have, it won't be enough. It's so fucking big, you're better off having an overnight layover.

Vigo (Spain) is pretty bad as well. The whole place was built on a fucking hill. Walking up in the heat is no joke. Walking down is pleasant, but could be improved by riding a bike downhill, though.

Simples...

[TheLovelyWoman]

New Orlean French Corner and Los Angeles Hollywood Boulevard stink with pees.

[msc545]

Ireland. The food and the hotels were a nightmare.

[exitseven]

I have no Irish ancestry yet i want to visit Ireland. I was trying to fix my Achilles tendon so i could run the Dublin Marathon. Maybe I will reconsider.

[msc545]

I suggest you visit a different country.

[andreasderjuengere]

I can't fully decide which one.

It's either Pattaya, Thailand, or

Port Klang, Malaysia

[Dongie]

Are York was pretty slimey. I liked the gyro guys and the Chinese Restaurant along with the ferry by the big statue. But the bootleg movie guys and fake roles along with street walkers was pretty sad.

[Dongie]

Fkn spell check. *New not Are

[Anonymous]

Same. New Orleans. That was a city of Brigands in it's inception and it really hasn't changed over the centuries. Virtually every person in that city is trying to con you in some way. I was a teenager when I went there. Luckily I was with my dad who was a cop.

[Simslover92]

Chicago in winter. It was brutal.

[exitseven]

I just had a couple of stopovers at O'Hare Airport. I guess they call it the windy city.

[DrPepper12]

Paducah Kentucky. Inbred capital of USA. Bigoted, insular, ignorant, hubristic people so very proud to show off all of the above in the midst of what resembles current day Gaza. Antisemitic Christo fascist pigs to man, woman & child.

[Kingofkings1992]

All big cities have dumpy areas that smell bad. You’ll find that in NYC, Atlanta, LA , literally anywhere. @exitseven to answer your question, I’m gonna say Gainesville, GA. Hated it there

[exitseven]

I never had the pleasure.

[MemeSupreme]

easy

the DMV

[TrueConfection]

😂😂😂

[exitseven]

Truthfully, the DMV is a common target of ridicule. however, even though most state government is an absolute horror show , the local DMV is usually a pretty painless experience.

[lightbulb27]

Never really went to a place that snowed a lot.
