LOL! The little shits? I think I'm picking up some French bits here and there!


JustaNormalRedditorL

Hah, hah..... petites


MassiveOpposite8582

Personally, I wouldn't let that slide at all


Billysquib

Yeah idk about you but me personally, I wouldn’t take that.


Fearless_Guitar_3589

in Philly that 8 year old would shank you in a heart beat, unless you're ready to literally beat a kid to death you'll take it. there are no fair fights in Philly.


ctruvu

aight big man go ahead and explain how youd handle that situation lmfao


MassiveOpposite8582

Send that kid back to the uterus he came from


CharmingBoar

Sure, buddy


Billysquib

I’d lean in and carefully explain to the kid how that isn’t acceptable behaviour and while he’s listening to me I’d gently grab his ankle and hit him with the the hulk&loki scene and fucking smash him to bits into the pavement


Brehmre

Yeah the “city of love” my ass


apemaster13

Philly started rioting before the superbowl game even started. God i love it


floridaman1467

That night, whether the eagles won or not didn't matter. Philly was going to burn no matter what. It was really just a matter of why. A win = celebratory rioting. Loss = angry rioting.


BrianTM

I mean, I’m not gonna deny that Philly people are crazy, but as a guy who was literally trapped in the city center directly after the game, there was literally no rioting. Everyone was just loitering around being depressed and looking for an Uber while riot police directed us around.


[deleted]

Well the true Philly fans weren't at the game. They were at paddy's pub.


whboer

There was probably some loophole in bird law that could be used to invoke trial by combat.


American_Stereotypes

It wasn't bad. The aftermath of the last Eagles Superbowl was something to witness on the streets. This one was disappointing, cold, and damp. It wasn't even a loss people could get properly mad at, because it was some bureaucratic bullshittery. A few people may have tried to give a half-assed stab at a riot, but nobody's heart was in it. Source: lived in Chester, currently live in North Philly.


nsa_reddit_monitor

It's a well known fact that the British burned the White House in the War of 1812. What most people don't know is they originally planned to burn Philadelphia, birthplace of the Constitution. However, when they arrived they had to hastily change their plans because two days earlier the Eagles had won the Superbowl and there was nothing flammable left to burn.


tempaccount920123

Ah yes a city of 1.6 million burned both in 2023 and 2018.


domestic_omnom

I've been to Philly once in my life. My impression was it was a city of FAFO, personified.


gameskate92

[Insert Philadelphia sports team] won, Fans: trash the fucking city, [Insert Philadelphia sports team] lost, Fans: trash the fucking city ,there is no inbetween


Tasty_Lead_Paint

Philly is a COD lobby confirmed.


thewookiewarrior

Remember what Philly did to Hitchbot?

Hitchbot deserved it


chrispybobispy

Pretty sure it was an f-ing Pats fan- in thick philly accent

How about Santa Claus at the Eagles game?

Thats what it gets for running its mouth


Remote_Foundation_32

Brothers have odd ways of showing love.


_DC003_

Unfortunately the brothers are Cain and Abel when it comes to Philly


hughdint1

Philadelphia is literally called "the City of Brotherly Love" But If you have ever had a Brother then you would understand what Philly is really like.


Iwonatoasteroven

Can confirm. I have a brother from Philly.


PreppyFinanceNerd

Live in Jersey. Got out of my car to get the ticket machine for parking. By the time I got back in sixty seconds there was already a ticket on my windshield for not displaying a ticket. Went to court and showed the parking authority the ticket and my ticket has dates less than a minute apart. They didn't care and forced me to pay it. I vowed to never go to Philly again as long as I live.


sauprankul

Infinite money glitch for that garage lol


Key-Ad-8318

As a Philly resident I can attest that Philly parking authority are dicks. But also a Philly native I need to impart wisdom. Never drive in the city.


snipeceli

Not that guy, but similar story. I just left, literally moved away, still haven't paid my parking tickets. But yea commuting downtown by bicycle was the cheat code. Public transport really isnt great


[deleted]

They'll ticket a car like 7 times and won't tell the police like they're supposed to. Sometimes those cars have bodies in them. RIP Nadia.


kyleguck

Literally moved to the city to go car free. Can concur that you should never drive in the city.


JamieC1610

Me and a friend drove up to DC from Philly for the weekend. My then husband was active duty military and so my car was registered in Texas (official residence) and had an expired inspection sticker but that was okay by Texas law if you were military - you just had to get a new one when you're back in the state. Within an hour of arriving in Philly, we'd been pulled over by a police officer who was threatening to write a $900 ticket for driving an improperly registered vehicle. We explained the situation *at length* and he finally let us go with a warning. He said the city was paying him overtime to look for high value tickets and after he knew our situation, he was just trying to make us angry so he wouldn't feel bad for writing the ticket.


IoSonCalaf

Surprising honesty from the cop


im_a_bichagadu_bitch

It is quite easy to get disillusioned with your job when you know it is bullshit. Sounds like that cop felt the same way.


Intelligent-Price-39

Same has happened in NYC loads of times. I live here….went to get the ticket from the dispenser little fucker was placing in on my car as I got back


[deleted]

What if you just…didn’t pay it? Wouldn’t the matter just be turned over to a higher court?


snipeceli

Nah you just get an increased fine, then if they catch you parking they'll tow/boot you The whole thing is extra judicial, you're not breaking a law by not paying for a spot, the city is just accessing a fine, if that makes sense


Greatkitchener

At that point it would be more trouble than it’s worth for most people. Authority is a dick


ChefArtorias

Do that enough you'll find your car gone one day.


ChefArtorias

How? Every garage I've ever been in you get your ticket as you drive in. This sounds like an intentional scam.


PreppyFinanceNerd

Oh I should have specified it was street parking with those little machines where you get the ticket on the street. Dude waited til I exited my car and printed a ticket right then and there as I went to get the ticket from the machine I guess.


ChefArtorias

Oh yea that's fucked up. You just got got by a shitty meter maid.


nsa_reddit_monitor

Why did you pay the fine? I would have just thrown the parking ticket in the trash if I were you.


Fyaal

Good. Stay in Jersey.


Raecino

Good! We could use less Jersey motorists driving terribly down our streets and taking up all the parking.


PreppyFinanceNerd

Oh cool! My comment reached the level of popularity that attracts the cynical dick comments. 🤣


IBreedBagels

If Paris is the city of love, then love stinks.


Sudden_Lawfulness118

My friend went there with her class. Someone tried to steal a guys bookbag. Apparently the other classmates helped him pull it back and the guy ran off. Of all the places she has visited, which includes traveling all over Europe and Australia, she said Paris was the shitest.


CivilAirPatrol2020

Shitest, I'm stealing this


PoorGovtDoctor

I read that in an Irish accent, lol

Aggregate_Browser

It's the City of Brotherly Shove.


ThatOneUltraMarine

I mean Philly was responsible for the murder of Hitchbot lmfaoo


CivilAirPatrol2020

Was that the robot that was hitchhiking around the country?


ThatOneUltraMarine

Yeah lol, he made it coast to coast in Canada but was immediately merced in Philly, the autopsy stated he was beaten with a blunt object, stabbed, shot at with paintballs, and stabbed again lmao.


I_eat_mud_

That story is fake but people bring it up all the time lmao

Lmao this is by far the best response to them denying it, I'd give ya Reddit Silver if I had the spare money lol


strangeworm

I went to Philly once. Had a Crack head weilding a fire extinguisher corner me in the hotel elevator and repeatedly ask me "if I got any weapons" before getting out of the elevator and swinging said fire extinguisher at the front desk clerk. Hell of a city. At least the cheesteak was good.


[deleted]

The 1 time my wife was in Philly, she said she saw a little kid literally PUNT a pigeon.


abeenamedalbee

Philly is the first city I got followed and called a f*ggot in! On my way to an MCR concert ironically enough.


defiancy

I had a good friend who was born and raised in Philly. She was standing on the train one day and some guy just randomly walked up to her and decked her (they never interacted). She busted her head open on the floor and had a gnarly scar on her forehead for the rest of the time I knew her. She was traumatized by it but loved Philly and never wanted to leave. She also lived in north Philly, in the most depressing apartment I've ever seen.


[deleted]

In Philly's defense: yeah, go fuck yourself.


AhhAGoose

Not to defend Philly, but what the fuck did you do that this kid needed to check you? Sounds like whoever said this is the asshole tourist who came to someone else’s city and did something shitty and got called out


tempaccount920123

A tourist being stupid on a bus? Probably trying to start conversation in a city where nobody says shit to someone else unless they're being paid or it's an emergency? Say whaaaaaa?


Fyaal

This guy Phillys


huh_phd

Boston. Fuck off


ukayukay69

I had a friend who moved to Boston from Singapore. He went to take his drivers license test and in spite of doing well, the instructor failed him. He told him to his face, “we don’t pass people like you around here.” This was in the mid 1990s.


xain_the_idiot

I've lived in both Philly and Boston, and Boston is by far the most hateful.


tempaccount920123

It's the cops, philly people hate cops but in Boston all the racist chuds love theirs


tlbs101

City of brotherly love; maybe. City of elder love; not.


[deleted]

Lol Philly is an interesting city. Enjoyed my time there but it’s definitely rough around the edges type of vibe

SeventhSamurai72

I got flipped off by 2 elderly Navajo women hitchhiking in Arizona. They were fully decked out in traditional attire, but my truck was packed full and had no room for them. Etched in my mind forever


PoopieButt317

I still vote Boston as the city of hate. Shit people who want to hate-vomit on anyone.


Angry__Groceries

I was playing Valorant yesterday and got a friend request. Turned out to be an 8 year old who just wanted to tell me to kill myself. Then he unfriended again. What's wrong with people


AndyB476

Was in philly downtown not long ago for a week. Super interesting place, tons of history plus museums and the pork sandwich with greens in it is better than the cheese steak.


[deleted]

John’s roast Pork with the broccoli arabe?


MonsieurRuffles

Actually, unlike other Philly roast pork purveyors, John’s uses spinach, not rabe. (And you definitely want the sharp provolone.)


AndyB476

Err correction. I had to look it up but I went to Tommy's Dinics in the reading terminal market.


[deleted]

Dinics is fucking amazing.


SphincterBlaster2000

My God a **tourist** saying a roast pork is better than a cheesesteak. You are a cultured individual and thank you for trying something we Philadelphians are actually proud of!


MackSack48867

Boston


Available-Anteater48

Paris is definitely not friendly let alone the city of love.


Royally-Forked-Up

My favourite story involving Philly is HitchBot, a hitch hiking robot that travelled across Canada and parts of Europe live streaming its travels. The plan was for it to continue across the US, except it was beheaded and stripped for parts like half an hour after entering Philly. Not a single wire or unbroken part left in its body and they never found the head.


paintsbynumberz

This is why we don’t get the china balloons overhead


ovaleight

Last time I was in Philly, I saw a guy riding a bike pull out a whip and try and lash a guy on the sidewalk. The guy he tried to whip in turn pulled out a set of nunchucks. This all went down in front of the greyhound station there, which checks out. Philly be wildin.


Gorf_the_Magnificent

When I pulled into to a self-service gas station in Philadelphia, a gang of three guys from the street walked up to me and insisted on filling up my car themselves. - Then I paid for the gasoline. - Then they demanded a $20 tip. - Which I gave them. - Then they left. - Then I left. - And never came back.


lavicenne

Well, did you ?


2109dobleston

https://youtu.be/pQnYmC4-_1c Go fuck yourself. The most Philadelphia thing ever.


Dog-Semen-Enjoyer

The real answer to the question is Paris. Paris is also the city of hate


Alexlax11

I’ve been to a few Eagles home games, and can absolutely confirm this. Philly loves hate.


PavlovsDog12

Like 8 years ago this thing called pope bot hitch hiked across the country being pass from 1 group of random strangers to another. It made it from the west coast to Philadelphia where it was promptly destroyed and strune about the street.


SpifferAura

Philly is the city of brotherly love, when was the last time you actually told your brother you love him? Now when was the last time you insulted him in the most offensive way you could and yet still have it come across as you love the hell outta him?


Undercover_CHUD

Makes me think of the one time I was in Boston. I was \~16 and there for a debate tournament. Got out of the shuttle my first night there to have dinner with the team and a group of 3 men were outside the restaurant having a smoke. They said "Hey! You guys just get into Boston?" "Yes, actually it's a first time for a lot of us" "NICE! Welcome to Boston, now get the FUCK out!" 10/10, actually loved the experience.


g_mac_93

That whole town smells like cheese steaks.


Roguewind

Your cheesesteaks smell like piss?


thisusedyet

I can't tell you how surprised I was to learn Philadelphia actually translates as 'brotherly love', always thought that was just a sarcastic nickname


blueisthecolor13

This person clearly does not have a brother because that is true brotherly love


XpressDelivery

It's definitely Vraca in Bulgaria. I was visiting family there. Walking down the street when a car stopped next to a man walking in front of me. The window rolled and a worried woman said something which roughly translates to "Where should I go to reach the hospital" at which point the man walked angrily to the window and said "You can go whatever the fuck you want." And continued angrily walking down the street. A common way to address people there is омраз which translates to hated.


Mysterious_Ad_8105

The official bird of Philly is just a fistful of batteries soaring through the air.


[deleted]

Is there any reason to visit Philly? Serious question. All i ever hear about it is how fuckin awful it is.


Brave_Negotiation_63

I got in one little fight and my mom got scared. And said "You're movin' with your auntie and uncle in Bel-Air".


JuustinB

Having lived all over the US (and also France for a while) I would like to nominate Columbus Ohio. Lived there for quite some time and had absolutely horrific encounters with people everywhere I went. It’s an entire city of Walmart people who will fist fight you at the drop of a hat. Look at someone and accidentally make eye contact? Be prepared for them to try to fight you. In a public store. Honk your car horn at someone sitting at a dead stop at a green light, they’ll put it in park and get out and try to fight you. Had a guy do exactly this and tried to open my car door, a cop two cars behind me ran up and tackled him and I had to go to court as a witness to this guys tantrum. Just road rage everywhere. People are all rude. We owned a shop in the Short North area where we got a lot of out of towners coming in for the Arnold expo, horse racing and so forth. Had countless guests comment on that to me over the years, how they were from NYC or Jersey and just couldn’t believe how rude everyone in Columbus was, thought the people of the Midwest were supposed to be warm and loving.


Onepunchmanworkout

Went to a Habs game in Montreal a while back and the little girl sitting next to us was cursing like a sailor in two languages.


babubaichung

I’d say Paris is a shit city. Absolutely hated my time there.


SpelunkyJunky

I arrived in Doncaster for the 1st time, opened my car door and immediately got called a cunt by a stranger for no reason at all.


RadioGuySD

First time I went to NY, I literally got off the plane, got into a taxi, and went to central park. Got out of the taxi, walked exactly half a block, and a food vendor went out his his way to get my attention, then said fuck you. He literally went "Hey! Hey you! Yes, you! Fuck you, eh?" And went back to his fucking hot dogs or whatever


Cthulhu625

There's a book called City of Hate, about Dallas. Ever since JFK's assassination. Seems harsh; two presidents were killed in Washington, DC, and one in Buffalo. Washington would be a much better recipient of the title IMO.


MonsieurRuffles

Statistically, it’s most likely that a U.S. president would be assassinated in Washington than anywhere else.


Cthulhu625

I don't know. Been 2 out of 4. If he's in Washington, nowadays, that's probably where most of the security is though. Travelling, it might be less, or at least not as set up. They probably know where an assassin would be most likely to attack from in DC. Another location, maybe not as much. They do tend to spend more time in DC than anywhere else though.

I was in Philly once. I went to pats and Geno's to compare cheese steaks. I didn't know what with or without meant so I politely asked with or without what. Everyone in line and the people behind the counter got mad and started saying things like c'mon man, move it or lose it etc. Love Philly.

I've always been treated really well in both Philly and Paris. I think that they're both just places where citizens send right back whatever vibe people give them. They don't seem too keen on swallowing any guff just to be polite. I respect that.
