    Nursing school....pure hell but love the job.
    One of my apartments in Ottawa, cockroachs, crack neighbours who I thought were going to have a gun fight downstairs one night in their living room which was under our bedroom and the crazy landlady who always wanted to confront you in the street so she could cry about it if it didn't go her way and make you look bad.
    And the Winnipeg airport. I would blow that place off the map if I could.

    I find it odd of people not wanting to go back to a restaurant or other establishment because of a single bad occurrence. You usually get a different waiter every visit and if you go to one location and then another, the kitchen staff is completely different. You can have one bad meal today and a great one tomorrow. Don't let a single bad occurrence prevent you from going back. If you don't like the overall food or atmosphere, I can understand.

    As to the person that doesn't want to go back to Great Clips. You realize that they have other locations and you can ask for a different stylist.

    I can understand not wanting to go back to a tourist destination again. Though I would say to give any locatoin two chances. The first time we went to Cancun, we didn't like it. We went back a second time and stayed at a different property and had a fabulous time. We have since been back again since that second time. Had we given up after the first visit, we sure would have been missing out.

    One place I may not go back to is Cross Roads at House of Blues. They have several locations and the first time we visited it was truely a great meal. This was in Orlando at Down Town Disney. We even went back a couple nights later. The ribs were the best that I had ever eaten. However, over the years they removed some of the other great items from the menu and even revamped the whole menu all together. We went to the one in Myrtle Beach and it was so so. We again went back to the one in Orlando and it was not very good. Not worth what we were paying for. Perhaps we were ruined by the fabulous first few visits we had, but it just went downhill. We miss it.

    Paris. The French reputation for rudeness and arrogance is well deserved.

    LA as a whole. I found the massive difference between the very very rich and the absolute shocking amount of homeless people...I couldn't deal. I found it incredibly disgusting, the amount of money that flows through that place and yet there is no system in place to help the disabled - physically and mentally - less fortunate, other than hope that someone buys them a sandwich that day.

    Winslow AZ. My mom worked there back in the day. Visiting her there didn't go well (not with my mom, but the populace since they didn't take kindly to strangers).

    I thought of another one. There's one particular "club" in my town that quite a lot of people go to (inexplicably!) and I have been there 3-4 times in years past and I just do not get it. There is nothing cool about it at all. Nasty people grinding on each other to AC/DC like it's 1984. It makes me embarrassed for all parties involved.

    My ex summed it up when he pointed out that there were a dozen people watching the real estate channel in a corner. That is not a cool place to go out to under any circumstances lol.

    Really?

    Huh.

    ETA: are you referring to Los Angeles? Because the sheer amount of public service programs available in Los Angeles County is mind-boggling.

    It is not a surprise to see so many places to eat but remember all those circumstances for bad food, service etc change from day to day. Sad to see some that sad church but establishments even churches have issues and don't allow the true meaning of God to be the center.
    For me it is more a state of mind I never want to go back to a dark place where I was only eating 500 calories a day I am now eating 2,000 plus on exercise days and otherwise 1500 and healthy and very active physically Loving and enjoying life and everything that comes my way

    Any country experiencing civil unrest or hyperinflation. Been there, seen that.
    Also, Baltimore.

    As a side note, I find it interesting that we've ragged on Texas, the US as a whole, NYC, Arizona, China and Paris but the only ones who whined were the Texans.
    Yeah, that's part of the problem with living in Texas. Everyone here thinks it's the greatest place on earth. Yeah, those are the people that have never left Texas obviously.

    Au contraire. I've been everywhere in the US and parts of Europe and I still think Texas is the greatest place on earth. You can leave too.

    This crazy lady had an ad in the paper about a futon and my husband and I had just moved back to my home town, and we didn't have a bed to sleep on and were desperate to not sleep on the floor of our new house. When we got to the place she had indicated, it was a derelict warehouse with dusty nasty furniture and the woman came out unshowered in a mumu. Never will go near that place again.

    Never buy used mattresses or sofas.
    You never know what you'll be bringing into your house.

    And the Winnipeg airport. I would blow that place off the map if I could.


    I would have to add the airports in Detroit and Atlanta. ugh.

    The only god awful horrible restaurant I would never go back to was a place called Bliss that served raw food. Apparently the entire city agreed with me because it closed.
    Other restaurants food and service vary every time you go.

    Just about any place inside the DC beltway.

    I grew up near there, kindergarten all the way through college, and every field trip EVER was to somewhere "important" in DC... The second time I ever got behind the wheel of a car right after getting my provisional license was the DC beltway. YUCK.

    I'll take my country living any day over that mess.
