  They happen with almost alarm regularity in small towns and given that’s where I grew up and spent a huge chunk of my teen years, I’ve got a lot of weird ass stories. Made only more bizarre by being from an Island with it’s own aggressively specific/unique culture.

    That’s been my experience too. In small towns, people talk and collaborate more with their neighbors and other residents of the town on matters that urban residents tend to be rigid with. It’s like small-town people focus on the interpersonal relationship while urban people focus on rules and expectations. There’s a sociological model that discusses it: en.wikipedia.org/…/Gemeinschaft_and_Gesellschaft
