30 Memes That Summarize What Living In A Small Town Is Like

We have the Sheriffs Dept. for law enforcement and other than traffic accidents you really never see them pulling anyone over, the last two times I've came up on one with lights on, both times they were changing a citizens tyre. Just good people.

To this day, there is a line in front of the weekly paper, beginning about an hour before it's released. It usually sells out before the next day. Everyone in town writes to the op/Ed/gossip section and it all gets published , names, warts and all.

"Here you go, Grandma. Yes, I promise I will be here Sunday for dinner."

Well they do say "Protect and serve" so this could count i think?

You guys, I love this one. A police officer's job, duty, and hopefully pride, is to protect and to serve. I like when the 'to serve' part is just good people being good to each other.

Haha!

I was born and raised in Tehran, the capital city of Iran, until I was 15. Population of several million. My dad was not a celebrity or anything, but he knew almost everyone in the city. Wenn he drove me somewhere, at almost every intersection there was a car horn sound, or a hand waving... Once I went to watch a movie with my boyfriend and my dad knew the same day. Turns out the guy who sold nuts and pistachios in front of the cinema recognized me and told my father. I informed my friend then that while it was not a big deal (my dad is an open-minded man) we would be caught everywhere we went, by acquaintances of my father. He didn't belive me, thinking I was showing off. Few days later I asked him to come along when I wanted to buy a gift for Mother's day. In the second beauty shop we went in, the owner asked if I was the daughter of Mr. so-and-so, my dad.

Wirh a man and two kids, im still not allowed and ahve curfew. Even tho living in cities bigger than NY... Wewill alwaysbe our mother's babies, no matter how many.

nobody wants to know how he failed? if you are 41, why are you trying to buy it? what could stop you? i demand answers!

Did they also comment on the length of your frock, and the fact you were not wearing your pearls, and that you insisted on not being chaperoned to the grocery store by your elderly bearded female grand aunt??! Shame, these youths are taking too many liberties today! ^^

Teamwork

Every town should have an Otis!

Can I join?

Somehow fitting that this sign is hanging on a mobile home!

Now that's a Democracy!

I cant even tell the difference between a tesla and a ford though

and often by the speed they're going, too.

that is like where I live

If any of my neighbors drove home in a different car. All would wonder who's in the neighborhood.

OMG yes. THIS ONE.

Or your older brothers/sisters. My mother's youngest sister came home from school sobbing: "I didn't mind if the teacher called me Dorothy. I didn't mind if she called me Ruth. But today she called me JOE!"

My high school teacher became the mayor.

And everyone is related. They may not remember how, though.

True

yep

Very important.

Oh God I wish these were our problems (in L.A. lol)

When you live in such a small town that the police are called instead of the Animal Control or the vet.

You need to pay me a carrot of gold now; says the cop.

Brilliant.

Hang out in the grocery store parking lot

This WAS our small town life as teenagers. We called it "cruising" - everyone piled into the car belonging to the one friend that was old enough to drive and lucky enough to have a car, and we "cruised" around the oval, race-track-shaped street that encircled about 8 blocks in the neighboring city, yelling out the windows at our friends (who were also cruising), playing 80s hair band music full blast, trying to race each other without getting caught by the cops and generally just being a public nuisance. Then there was "road drinking", where whoever was old enough to buy alcohol would do so and we'd find a dark country road where we wouldn't get caught (usually) and drink cheap alcohol until we were too drunk to stand, throw up and then go sleep it off at the house of the friend with the parents that wouldn't tell ours. Good times. (and very, very stupid....lol)

Sound like they need a drive in movie theatre. It would save gas.
