Any place with a squat toilet, especially if in an outhouse.   :homestar:
They who can give up essential liberty to obtain a little temporary safety, deserve neither liberty nor safety.

There's a fine line between salvation and drinking poison in the jungle.

I'm embarrassed. I've been making the mistake of associating with you. It won't happen again. :)

I was in a senior's residence recently. There was this smell of death in the air. Worse than in hospitals.

Second worst are airports. Especially when you have a stop-over for several hours and can not go to a business class lounge.

You know what can make the airports better if you don't have access to a business class lounge? At most airports if you go just outside the buisness class lounge, you can still connect to their internet.  :ph34r:

I'm not sure they still exist, I have avoided them for over 20 years, but I really hate old-fashioned English tearooms. Not "caffs" you understand, tearooms. The sort of place with tiny tables and swarms of little old ladies, you feel like Gulliver in Lilliput, move your elbow too vigorously.......thwack!!!........that's two old ladies knocked to the ground, 3 chairs broken and a table smashed. You can't talk in those places either, show any animation and there will be waves of disapproval or, even worse, eavesdropping. Hopefully they have all closed, they are places of gloom and trauma.
Your description amuses me because, while we have those here as well, the old hens chatter and cackle nonstop in our tearooms.

Nursing homes.  Even hospices are better. 

Rest areas.  As a family, we used to make the trip out to Utah and Idaho almost every year.  They're awful places. 

I don't like a lot of American suburbs, to be honest.  Any place where I can't walk to a train station or bus stop is not worth living in. 

I actually really enjoy airports.  O'Hare especially.  Probably the best places for people watching in the globe.

Surprised no one has mentioned the DMV yet.

A chance to stretch your legs and empty your bladder when on a long road trip. How horrible.
To sleep, perchance to dream. But in that sleep of death, what dreams may come?

You can do that at a MacDonalds and find a cleaner bathroom and a grilled chicken chipotle snackwrap.

So do it at McDonald's. There's no reason to be at a rest stop if you don't want to be there, thus no reason to hate the place.

Most of my memories of rest stops are from when I was too young to drive and/or travelling with family, and thus would have no control over my ability to avoid rest stops.

I consider all the rest stops on the New Jersey turnpike as mini international Mos Eisley spaceports, only with Sbarro's and Roy Rogers. You will never find a more wretched hive of scum and villainy. You must be cautious.

I was once making a long distance trip overnight, and pulled into a rest stop for a few hours sleep. When I woke up, I think I saw a guy in a pickup parked next to me (which was kind of weird because the rest of the parking lot was empty), who was looking at me and seemed to be masturbating. I immediately got my keys and drove away.

It was the middle of the night and I just woke up, so maybe I was mistaken, but maybe not.
