You know you live in a small town when...

[500Chickens]

by auditory sense perception, not visual

yep, that too

You know it's a "relatively" small town at least when the lights go into blinking mode at night because folks are friendly and no one's out anyways.

You know it may now be classed as a city, but it still takes as much time to chat to everyone you bump into as it does to do what you set out to do.

I got the idea from BackroadGirl57's post, You know you're country when...

Post your small-town drama, guys!

Examples:

When your dog gets out and your neighbor spots him walking down the sidewalk
When everyone knows you but you have no clue where they live
When tractors drive down your main street
When you have to drive 30 minutes to an hour to go anywhere
When you sleep outside in a hammock for fun

When you go to town and your mom sees a random person and figures out you're related to them. Are we just related to everyone? How does my mom know literally everyone?!

Oh dear - I am that mum - just ask my kids.

This is actually me with my dad I’m pretty sure we are related to everyone

Village life be like your are named after something you did many years ago - "oh Telf, the toxic-marshmallow-guy". Don't ask the details, lol. All we can share is 12 year old jealousy goes south fast if your a pyromaniac.
