Random Country Folk Explain Things That They Say City Folk Will Never Understand (29 items)

• (#12) We Still Stock Up For The Winter

  From Redditor u/MrsChickenPam:

  The extent of our pantries and freezers. We can't just "run to the store" to pick up that forgotten ingredient or spur-of-the-moment craving. But if we're well-stocked, we can whip up just about anything!
• (#16) The More You Know

  From Redditor u/EducationalResult8:

  Sorry mr, Thompson. I have to leave class today. Cows got out.

  Your mom has a list of who you can and cant date, and when your cousin gets married the list gets cut in half.

  The monthly Costco run

  Having literally everything. Seriously I have so much sh*t laying around, but cant get rid of it because who knows when you will need an extra carburetor.

  Chatting at Dutch bros with the barista for 2 hours because there's nothing better to do.

  Gutting a deer during lunch break.

  Driving 45 min to the nearest bowling alley.

  Not going anywhere because you forget to fill up gas before the weekend when the stations are closed.

  Knowing every single logging road by memory and practically a rally driver in a lifted truck, but freak out when your driving in a city where there are roundabouts.
• (#24) Pros And Cons

  From Redditor u/soawesomejohn:

  Driving and transportation. I grew up "out in the country" and currently live "in town", and I've spent time in major cities. When I first did traveling to a large cities, I would rent a car because I didn't want to get stuck somewhere. But soon learned that the car was more of a hindrance, when I could just simply walk to half a dozen restaurants or get a ride if it was further out. In a city, driving is a privilege and oftentimes a nuisance. In the country, driving is a requirement, something you need to sustain life. In a small town, you might be able to get by with walking/biking, but you'll spend a lot of time doing it.

  If you live in town, you might be able to get pizza delivery. It'll probably be a Pizza Hut or Pappa Johns. If your town can sustain it, maybe both. If you want pizza from the third pizza place, you can call it in and go pick it up in your car. Same with Chinese.

  The town might have a local hospital only 15 minutes away, but the rise of larger regional hospital systems may have shut down most of the services, so if you want to give birth to a baby in a hospital, that'll be the larger hospital 30-45 minutes away.

  If you're having elective surgery during the pandemic, you need to drive 45 minutes one day for your consult, then drive up a different day for your covid-19 test, then 3 days after that for your surgery.

  On the plus side, if you want to have a campfire in your yard, just scrape out a bit of a hole or put some rocks in a circle and build a fire. If you want to avoid a city-wide riot, the nearest one is 2 hours away, so you'll be fine.
• (#25) Nosy Neighbors

  From Redditor u/stnrnts:

  The reality is your neighbors are nosy little f*****s, they don't have a life and wanna know what goes on in others.
• (#27) Tinder Radius 25 Miles

  From Redditor u/yeetmesomejuice:

  Driving to the next town over with your friends for something to do, after-prom being a beer-filled bonfire party, your Tinder options are guaranteed to only be white boys in Bass Pro hats holding fish.
• (#8) Those Jerks, Get Out Of The Road!

  From Redditor u/Quizzika:

  Seeing Deer isn't a special occasion, those f*****s are always showing up.
