Small town/rural kfers... - Describe sad or messed up stuff from where you grew up

Destacado
Oodles of trees and rocks bigger than cars. Virtually no minorities. Basically paradise.

EDIT
I'm a complete retard and didn't fully read the title.
So a messed up thing, I was told by a few of the older folks around town about some prostitute who was gangraped by some dudes then had a curling iron shoved in her in a room at a now closed motel back in the 80s.
 
>Be Sunday, want to take a drive through the countryside and go innawoods for the day
>Go the usual route
>A guy on a motorcycle crashed and as a result the road was temporarily closed, pretty common in country lanes
>Detour down a windy ass road to get to the woods
>Sorry, road congested, every fucker from the city wants to go innawoods today and everyone had the same idea
>Decide to take the backlane by the quarry to route round by the mainroad once I had a chance to.
>Halfway down, road was closed because they found a body in the quarry
>Waste about an hour getting back
>Decide to go by the lakes instead
>They found a body in the lake, roads closed and police everywhere
>Decide to detour once again by the mountain,
>Wasn't my plan to climb a mountain today but thought fuck it why not?
>Road blocked because someone collapsed near the top and needed mountain rescue and this somehow warranted the road to be blocked off
>Fuck it, drive back home
>Roads open again
>Way to the forest heavily congested still
>Same road as the usual route
>Apparently a faggot in a truck decided to skirt around the road closed sign and ended up falling into the ditch, further prolonging the time the road was closed
>I eventually got home, did nothing but driving and getting fucked off by closed roads
This shit happened every fucking week back home... It's a wonder how anything operated
 
I saw my dumbass neighbor damn near get his hand bit off by an alligator snapping turtle because the idiot put his hand directly in front of its head. The thing is your supposed to come up from behind them and grab the very top edges of their shell. Well when the turtle bit him it bit right on the middle of his hand and snapped the bone as well as his vein. It was pretty gruesome and I had to bring him to the hospital as he bleed all over my truck.
 
Middle of winter, some octogenarian looking frail lady comes walking up to the drive in nothing but a nightie and thin slippers. Right through the snow. She was worried about something, but couldn't communicate well. So, my Ma called the Staties (I think she was worried, and wanted to wash her hands of the situation) and I drove the lady back to her house. Luckily, she could identify it. She kept mumbling about a man with a gun. She had walked about a mile in her condition.

We hung out in her enclosed porch with some car blankets on a recliner (porch couch gets beat by porch LazyBoy, every time) until the cops arrived, because no way was I going into the house that kept sounding more and more like a crime scene the way she was babbling. And she wouldn't stay in the car.

Turns out her daughter and son-in-law had a huge blowout the night before, both were arrested, and late stage dementia Mom was left alone in the house during a cold snap. The cop was a prick to me more upsettingly, the old lady, and I got yelled at by Ma for even getting involved when I finally made it home. But at least they took her to the hospital.
 
i know i already posted here but.
a dude overdosed and died on nye in our apartment complex parking lot in his truck.
was there a week. it was SUPER cold so decomposition didnt set in,
a friend, my brother and me were like "that dude has been asleep there for a while. he might be dead"
moved on as 10 year old do and were playing in the snow
police show up.
my mom makes us go inside while my friend's older sister, my mom and our neighbor stand on the deck.
turns out. he was dead.
the people who he was there with thought "he went home" (aka they knew he was dead)
i forgot this happened until like 6 months ago.
 
The local town drug-dealer is a young idiot who has been kept out of prison purely because his parents are too influential to allow anything to stick, but they've at least taken away any access to motor vehicles. This leads to the brain-trust to go around begging people at strange hours of the night to take him the next town over to 'do something real quick'. Yes, he attempted to request that of me but got the door slammed in his face.

There is only one restaurant in the tiny town and it's barely even that. Everyone who is over the age of 50 always makes a pilgrimage to this place on the same day once a week, shuffling by like the Ganados from RE4. There's only one dish that they make that is actually good, the rest is okay at best.

If you ever get the wild hare to take a short walk around your neighborhood at night people will notice and will immediately head outside to check on you. Unless you're homeless or the local crazy, then you don't exist.

There is a shop or some sort of store ran by the local mother hen who has more influence than the mayor. Do not annoy her intentionally but there's bad news because her ego is massive.
 
Once saw a young girl in a tiny ass kia get fucking t-boned by a dualie in the middle of town. The fucker had the audacity to scream "YOU DIDN'T SEE ME?!?!" because she fucked up his suspension. She was lucky to be alive lmao

For a period of time chunks of town kept losing internet and electricity almost weekly because we had a rash of drunken teenagers (out of town college retards too) that could not stop driving into poles.

Some absolute nutjob hung herself on a tree outside of her house. Her husband and children woke up to it. Heard the dude and his kids are actually doing pretty okay nowadays.

A girl attempted a school shooting. Shot one girl in the ass and fucking offed herself immediately. The funny part is local law enforcement were collaborating with federal law enforcement to control the situation. I forget who did what. But an incident involving being shot in the foot occurred between BP and police because they were so horribly coordinated. LEO buddies were rolling on the floor when they heard the news. Oh and of course retards used the situation to call in a bomb threat at the elementary and college. Fled a state over. Vanned. Pretty sure they're serving for it.

We're too small/local business focused for a walmart so I don't get to see funny freaks fucking about at the people zoo :(
 
I'm mortified that trannies are spawning in my secluded corner. Also the economy is collapsing. We have more people at this point than affordable places to live. The last time I attempted to apply for an apartment the guy I spoke to said there weren't any vacancies and a year long wait list. It's a farming community that doesn't even farm anymore because tobacco was the cash crop and there's no money in tobacco anymore. Local business owners lease until they go out of business and the cycle continues.
 
I can't claim I grew up in small towns, but I have done quite a bit of traveling around small-town Cali: I think my favorite that I was able to easily observe was a truck I saw in central California.

It was painted entirely with bedliner. It had a racing stripe in this paintjob...using a different colored bedliner for the effect.

A fat white woman with a buzzcut mullet that looked remarkably like a over-pressured pringles can with a mullet wig got out of this glorious wiggermobile.

It was...perfect.
 
I'm not from a backwater, but when I was a little kid this farmer and his son gave my family a ride in his pickup. The bed was completely laden with farming tools and my seat had brown maple leaves and dirt on it. I stood and made a face of horror and embarrassment while trying to clean off my pants, and to this day my family teases me about it.

That was my first meeting with rednecks. Now I like 'em rednecks - some of my favorite KFers are rednecks. But dey better keep to der own els der migh be sum prablems, y'heer?
(Just kidding, I side with ruralites. I know that all this thread's stories were caused by the elite of Chicago and New York somehow and someway)
 
I have literally more stories than I probably even remember, but also a lot of the typical rural shit. Teen moms with doomed kids everywhere, crazy drug/alcohol abuse issues, massive brain drain, etc.

One really fun thing is that the substations are constantly being stolen from. Junkies go in to steal copper for money and a few end up getting barbecued everyone once in a while.
 
For those that don't know or haven't experienced it firsthand, there is a HUGE difference between a stereotypical poor hillbilly "rural community" and abject poverty and hopelessness. When you go through some of the backwater areas of places in deep rural WV or KY that literally have no public infrastructure, and the main source of income for the majority of people are government checks and whatever cash they can get for their prescription pills....now THAT is depression. Places like that are truly equal, because it is so bad for everyone that they don't even see skin color. Everyone in that sort of situation just innately knows that they are systemically fucked and petty racial or political bullshit can't and won't make any difference.

Amish buggies count as "vehicles" under the state motor vehicles code..... so it's possible to pick up an Amishman for DUI.

Been there, seen that.

Same. Hello Ohiotuckyvania resident!
 
In the 50s or 60s my village built an outdoors swimming pool. The only issue is that the fella in charge wasn't the sharpest tool in the shed and nobody would question his orders, so the whole thing was made on a slope and there's water on one half only. It was kinda left to overgrow with bushes and trees and there's no roads or signs leading to it, the above-water part is now overgrown too. Has no name or label on maps. There's lot of plums growing around it so it's a nice place to visit but no outsider may know about the shame.
 
For a few years growing up I lived in Troutdale, Oregon. Little suburb town near Portland. Not the kind of place you’d think of as out of the way small town/rural. Ever see What’s Eating Gilbert Grape? It really reminded me of the town Johnny Depp lived in.

The local Dairy Queen was the hang out spot for teens

Going to the community college cafe or the truck stop diner was seen as “a nice night out to dinner”

Not much in the way of jobs. If you weren’t interested in being a lifer in retail or fast food, you were SOL

For some reason a lot of homeowners during that time got it into their minds to paint their houses these awful garish colors. Bubblegum pink, day-glo orange, canary yellow. Absolutely hideous

Little bit sad but a lot of my old school friends from that time never moved on and did better things after school. They’re still hanging around this boring little place, working menial dead end jobs and acting like it’s the early 2000s still and we’re still in high school instead of being in our late 30s. Little sad to see they never used any of their potential and just squandered it to stagnate
 
Damn, the city I live in had 10x more people now than when I first moved in so it couldn't count now but it does then. But I often have summer hangouts at a campsite in rural areas and that's where I'll get some of the experience. But north of my neighborhood is a collapsed barn unused since the 1950s when the city I live in was very small, less than 1,000 people. Those who own the property now weren't even born when the barn was used. Close to my campsite there was an abandoned house with all windows and doors gone. Also being in a rural area comes with hardships like having to drag a container full of shit to the dumping station and having to smell the shit driving there. But at least you can see the stars much better than in more urban areas. When I was young, I had to drive to a bigger city to go to Walmart, Burger King and Superstore. As of now, people would eventually paint penises on the sidewalk and even vandalize whole tunnels. The town north of me has a pizza hut that's unique and sells personal pizzas.
