scothunter 12,609 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 One thing I'm not is nosey. Couldn't give a shut what others do, my neighbours on the other hand wow they are different class. They know everything, and have fallen out with half the street over petty shit. They once called my work for my workmate leaving the engine ticking over as he waited on me lol 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted October 17, 2012 Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 I blame it on all the stupid soaps, all murder, robbery, rape etc. It's created a society where for many people the truth of reality is not exciting enough, hence people see something in their street and let their imagination run riot i don't know about that mate, certain places have always been the same. Small town mentality. Nosey b*****ds have got to know the ins and outs of everything so they can gossip, they just fill the missing bits in with bullshit. There was police tape by a pub in the town a few years back. By the time I'd spoken to a few people about the town it was there because there was a double stabbing one dead, then a rape, then a big fight the night before. Turns out it was none of the above, somebody'd ran into the office when the pub was busy and nicked the safe! My town isn't particularly small. I think it's WOMAN mentality rather than small town mentality. Having said that, there was an incident a few weeks ago with a car on the main road. Police tape everywhere and the forensics guys. Mrs walshie's take was that it was a stolen car. Truth turned out that the sweeney had been chasing armed robbers and rammed them off the road. So that's twice she's been wrong...in her whole life. Imagine that sort of mentality and gossip going on in a small town of 5000 locals about anybody and everybody and you've pretty much got the place I used to live! The funny thing is everybody talks bullshit about everybody else but they never think it happens to them when they're not there. If something happens and someone finds out someone has been talking about them it's the end the end of the bloody world! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
walshie 2,804 Posted October 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted October 17, 2012 Maybe that's why my mrs gets in first. Better to be the accuser than the accused. Or maybe they are just awful gossips. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
