The consummate definition for rednecks is when you can pee outside about any place, any time.

Country livin' at it's finest.

when you drive for 30 minutes before hitting a paved road , there is no pizza place, grocery store is 45 minutes away. You have to be careful not to run out of tp. Internet is dial up. But I love it

... repeated gun shots are common place and not worrisome.

... you have to drive your kids to their bus stop.

... you can walk out to your chicken coop in your nightgown because there's no one around to see.

you get in the truck everytime you hear a siren- cause it might be the neighbors and they might need help

you expect to have delays when driving anywhere in the summer (combine, seed trucks, tractors, etc)

It is not strange that when you drive by the dairy up the road at milking time to have to stop and wait for them to get the cows across the road

EVERY person has a rifle in their truck/car

most roadsigns have been shot with a shotgun

you know everyone and everyone knows you (all about you)

Going to town to eat- usually means going to the nearest gas station and getting a pizza or chester's Chicken

and you do get worried anytime you see a person walking or even biking down the road that you don't reconize. Oh and if it someone you reconize you always stop to see if they need a ride.

you wave at everyone with your index finger or a nod of your head

Every piece of land has a name-usually of a name of a person that has been dead for many years. (For an example: We live on the Willis Place- now that hasn't been a Willis that has owned this 60 acres since the 1940's and my grandparent's bought it right after WWII, BUT EVERYONE that is a native to the area know this farm as the Willis place! Same with up the road- this house:

Is called the HAP house...The last person that lived there was named Hap Farmer. He died in 1964. But we still call it the Hap House. (My son calls it the Monster Clubhouse lol)


Nobody cares how new a truck or tractor is- just as long as it runs-- you are not judged by it

if you are a vegetarian you are weird. This is farming country-mostly dairies or beef farms

oh and as for the peeing thing- that applies to women too

there have been more than 1 occasion that I have been out feeding the animals or in the field and didn't feel like walking back to the house

Oh definitely about what stuff used to be called. We used to walk down the road to "where Coraville used to be". There is nothing there, just a four corners and grass. But waaaaaaaaaay back when, there was a little town there called Coraville, and everybody knows that.

And we lived right before "Eades hill" - no idea when there was actually anybody named Eades out there.

And one time we filled up the swimming pool with the volunteer fire dept truck - bad idea - too much gunk in the truck.

That is us. When my boys take the dogs out for a walk I had seen them peeing along with the dog at the tree!!
Oh and my BIL if he had to walk his dog in the middle of the night either in his underware or naked.​

 

[mangled]

My husband will take the dog out in the night in just his underwear, usually with the shotgun. We've got a bear in real close, so he feels the need to arm himself.

I figure if anyone would be foolish enough to risk the dogs and come up here, the sight of my redneck husband in his u
skivvies, toting a shotgun, should cure them of their curiosity real quick.

These are great~~

okay Gavin, don't break a bone laughing about our pizza delivery

texasgal~~when you come visit your sis, you'll have to give a holler

gotta agree with the---feeding the chickens in my nightgown, husband in the yard naked, common to hear gunshots anytime, day or night; and it's not just guys who pee in the woods

AND ~~ the post office is our local "social club", cause it's the only thing in our town

 

[darkmatter]

When friends and family give you that what stare when directions to your place include: "and turn off the paved road"

Sheesh..... most of the things mentioned in previous posts apply to me.
