What’s the most disappointing place you’ve ever visited?


For me, Stone Henge - if anybody is thinking of going there, don’t bother; it’s completely underwhelming.

Barcelona. What a shithole. Hookers, beggars, drug dealers, pornography sold everywhere, it felt dystopian.

I'm sure if you stay away from the rambla it's nice but I didn't enjoy the place at all.

reply

What a snowflake. It was awesome in the 90s.

reply

So your example is from 30 years ago?

reply

about 22. But I've been a few times since and admit it has declined especially because of the pickpockets. But the 90s was bangin. That whole Pier at the end of Las Ramblas across that wavy bridge called Maremagnum, used to be packed full of nightclubs standing room only. People dancing on tables and counters. No cover to get in most places. Was amazing.

Ohio. Even Nebraska is more interesting than Ohio.

Stonehenge was significantly more exciting.

reply

There's a place in SE Ohio, (I think) called the Fur Peace Ranch.
About the only redeeming quality Ohio has, other than the Blue Jackets.
Screw the Indians and Red Stockings. They should relocate ! And the NFL teams ? What a mockery of the sport !
Look at the fidelity LeBron had to the State. And the shenanigans those idiot voters let pass when Gore and Bush were campaigning. Shameful !

reply

Yeah. *tips hat to you* Ohio was totally stolen.

reply

I didn't think the Golden Gate Bridge was that big of a deal.

reply

I really enjoyed it but i'm a huge nut for bridges.

reply

I think it's shown in movies and TV shows as this grand monument and I didn't think it was as big once I saw it in person.

reply

I mean on tv, when they have the helicopter flying through it, it's really awe inspiring. So maybe if you had one of them chopper tours it'd have a bigger impact. I also checked out some big meteor crater when I were out there. That was more interesting to me.

I didn't think it was as big once I saw it in prison.

True dat for Yosemite. It's a tough call - it's amazing, everyone should see it.

reply

Also true for Venice, Italy.

reply

Plymouth Rock.

The "Mona Lisa" in the louvre.

I'm sure its great and all , but i was just surprised how small it is in real life :)

reply

Mona Lisa, Eh? I thought you'd be taller in real life.

reply

Grand Canyon for me. Just a hole in the ground. Doesn't look nearly so impressive in person.

reply

I enjoyed it (I was probably drunk).

reply

The RV trip was a blast!

reply

I tried to dive into it and turned into Homer Simpson.

"Oh - d'oh - oof - oh - d'oh - ah - no - ah - d'oh - oof !!"

Falling off the edge and bouncing all the way down.

reply

Probably a month ago when I visited my sister, my brother in law, and their kids, and they refused to have their air conditioner on in their house.

reply

I can identify with that. Both my own experiences and what I've heard others say. In turn, as to the trope about relatives who live in Florida and are very stingy in their use of air conditioning: it's all true.

A funny thing I remembered was when a guy I used to work with told me how he dealt with visiting his parents in Florida. After getting there and exchanging the usual greetings and pleasantries, he would pull a 20 dollar bill out of his pocket, slap it down on the kitchen counter and say "Alright, how 'bout some air conditioning".

reply

Seems like $20 isn't enough. Unless maybe it happened 40 years ago.

reply

Recalling it, it was in the late 1990s. Even today $20.00 would surely cover increased A/C use for a few days.

As a rhetorical gesture and matter of practicality though, it's a bargain at twice the price.
