You don’t really care about how bad a road is until you are the one using said bad road. The same applies to snow in winter—you don’t really care about it until all of your regular parking spots become piles of snow and you can’t but try and improvise your parking until the snow melts.

Anyway, this British humor without context page on Twitter, very appropriately called No Context Brits, has recently shared a picture of a pretty rough road—one that has been patched up so much, it’s just ridiculous at this point.

And while the post got almost 95,000 likes with over 10,300 retweets and 21,100 quote tweets, turns out this bit of road wasn’t all that bad, as it spawned a slew of responses showing off all of the more horrible roads around the world.

Bored Panda has created a curated list of some of the best bad road flexes people shared in response to this now-viral tweet, which you can find below. So, go vote and comment on the ones you liked the most and why not let us know of the road situation where you live in the comment section!

Now that it has it's own eco-system, it would be pity to fill/destroy it. I bet it has a much greater biodiversity than that lawn beside it. Next thing you know, they'll find some endangered species in it

Is there any doubt, any at all, that the US Congress needs to pass that infrastructure bill? Seriously...

LOL I had a feeling Jackson would make this list. This is my hometown—there is actually tomatoes growing in this pothole. Wouldn’t eat them though as sewage is also pooling in the hole. Classic Jackson tbh https://www.wlbt.com/2021/07/15/tomatoes-growing-long-untouched-jackson-pothole/

It's actually kinda pretty! Like a little garden in the middle of the road.

I saw another story on this. The person who took the picture planted tomatoes in it a month ago as a joke and its still not fixed. If you look close, you can see green ones on the vine, almost ready to harvest.

The thing in the hole with 4 bolts is a "temporary" patch on a leaking pipe which likely caused the damage.

"During the rainy season the giant mole rats are flushed from their burrows and seek shelter under the dry roads." (Imagine it with David Attenborough's voice.)

Could it be possible that someone ran over it with an armored vehicle? Who knows ...

Is the new road empty because everyone is still trying to get off the old road?

If you want to find a bad road, check out General de Gaulle Drive on the New Orleans city limit on the Westbank. There are blocks there than you can't drive over faster than about 2 mph unless you want to lose the bottom of your car. I moved away from that area right before Katrina, but I'll bet that road still looks *exactly* the same.
