The worst place I ever lived was under the same roof with my father. He was abusive to the highest degree.
By the way, in case you missed it, Jeremiah was a bullfrog.

No running water no electricity, water out of a muddy stream or off of the roof along with lizard crap when it rained. Hot and humid wet season, hot and dry dry season.
Exact same meals for months at a time, no entertainment, no social life. Guardia guaranteed, tsetse flies, mosquitoes, all the parasites ya could handle, neighbors with active TB. Rabid dogs.
Military coup, drunk soldiers at roadblocks, American food aid rice for most every meal the last six months ( rice and sugar fer breakfast, rice and taro leaves for lunch, rice and palm oil for supper).
But.... nobody was trying to kill me so it was all good... seriously.

Yeeesh! After reading this thread I feel like I've lived a charmed life. Lived a number of different places. None of them bad. I used to have to travel to Hobbs, NM and I was always happy to leave. A lot of 10 year-old pickups with lift kits, exhaust stacks, flotation tires, and BASS stickers. Common housing was old single-wides held together with duct tape. Guys with families "back home" shacked up with underage runaways. Welcome to the oil fields circa 1988. You say that like it's bad? Maybe it was just their teeth.

As far as locales go, maybe the worst was spending what seemed like a year on the hi-line even though it was Oct-Dec. Cold, dreary, windy, snowy. Had a heckuva a time just going to town to have a burger and a beer. Everyone seemed to want to fight or eff with you.

It is not my living conditions that mattered, it is who I was living with and how well we were getting along.
There is nothing noble in being superior to your fellow man; true nobility is being superior to your former self. -Ernest Hemingway
The man who makes no mistakes does not usually make anything.-- Edward John Phelps

Every day on this side of the ground is a win.

Boy this is easy. Drove interstate truck's most my life. If you haven't been into Hunt's Point Market in the Bronks, NYC, you haven't lived! Harlem isn't a lot better!

The Worst Place You Ever Lived?. Flint, Michigan. I can’t argue with that either. I live about an hour North (but a world away) what brought you to Flint? I'm from nearby Midland, originally. I can't even imagine what life in Flint would be like.
4 out of 5 Great Lakes prefer Michigan.

And yet it irks me the poor dappled fools,
Being native burghers of this desert city,
Should in their own confines with forked heads
Have their round haunches gored."

Mebbe we can start and Old Bachelor Herd home in Lampassas. We can call it "The He Man's Wimmen Haters Club". No Girls allowed. Especially Darla.
