You know you're from a small town when...people wave at you as you pass them on the road even if you don't know them

You know you're from a small town when you can walk across town at 3 am as a teenager and not be mugged/concerned

doin it rite?

[mmburntcheez]

You know you're from a small town when the town is dead at 9pm on a weekend night

- - - Updated - - -

or when you have to drive 30 minutes to an hour or more to go clubbing/bar hopping lol

[Itisamuh]

When the population sign at the edge of the town limits that you are from reads a relatively small number.

[Calzaeth]

You know you're from a small town when the local newspaper regularly reports that police were called due to loud music, and the partiers complied.

Also, about the walking through town at 3am without mugging/concern: I once stumbled into (literally) a cop while walking home from a party in the middle of the night. The dude helped steady me, we shook hands and introduced ourselves, then he walked next to me and chatted with me all the way home (20min walk, 30min drunken half-stumble) because "it's a boring night and I have my walkie-talkie with me anyway".

He was awesome^^

You know you are from a small town when your school only has one class, with all grades intermixed. Now wait, that's not even a town anymore, that's the boonies.

[Blueobelisk]

I don't live in a small town so I don't get all these jokes. Talking about no clubs around or being able to walk outside and not be mugged does not compute with me.

I feel left out of the joke.

you know your in a small town when the only option for a love life is your cousin or the sheep, and the sheep looks worried by your leading it towards a cliff.

You know you're from a REALLY small town when those two locations are a 20 minute drive away.

[xepheroth5026]

You know you're from a REALLY small town when those two locations are a 20 minute drive away.

Or when you are 20+ minutes from a walmart, there isn't a waffle house in your state, literally the only restaurant was also a hangout and was a McDonald's, and you're considered a "village".

And there are only 2 traffic lights.

[Radux]

When the guy who drives the only tow truck also happens to be your mayor.

[Yuni]

You know you're from a small town when someone asks you where you're from and you tell them the bigger city it's close to.

Hey at least you have traffic lights! Our closest McD's is 15 minutes away. Only 1 pizza place delivers. With the except of a small based-at-home eatery which is only open from 11AM to 4PM, the nearest true restaurant is also 15 minutes away.

I do that all the time. And that city is over an hour away.

You're from a really small town when there is no restaurant in town and there are only three stop signs.

Ha! XD Our closest McD's is over an hour away. The only places that make pizzas are gas stations. We have no traffic lights, no town newspaper, no one delivers, we have no chain places at all aside from the gas stations (3) and the farm supply stores... That's depressing to type. (Town of 987, btw.)
(You can imagine what the internet is like living 15 minutes away from such a place is like.)

We have a Subway, one gas station, one credit union, one tavern, 20+ antique stores, a Chinese restaurant, no pizza delivery, and 2000 people. And awesome internet

Do you live in eastern kentucky in the sticks? lmao

You know you were in a small town, when you have already left it before you realise it.

One town over has a Subway, we don't though. Heck, there's not even an espresso maker for over an hour either. XP
1 Chinese place, one doctor's office, 3 gas stations, one batting range (indoors,) a pool, two parks, 5+ farm or auto-supply stores, a grocery, and a little mom-and-pop food place. Sadly, the internet is so bad that games often take days to download...

And mmburntcheez, I actually do not. I live in Southwest Missouri. About an hour away from Joplin.
