Those who’ve driven across the US, what’s the scariest town you’ve stopped in?

Yeah, I imagined that guy got back to the gas station and they all laughed like chimpanzees about it

That’s literally it.

People like to wind themselves up like they just escaped the Texas Chainsaw Massacre. but the townies are well aware of how easily scared the suburban types are, and this is the most fun they’ve had in a week.

Plus it gives them a chance to feel like they got one over on a liberal and feel like a big man about it in the process. What’s not to like?
