Little towns often appear peaceful and quiet, but that doesn't mean there are no controversies brewing beneath the surface. In fact, a recent Reddit post by user u/Pessimistic_Soviet demonstrates quite the opposite.
It invited residents of small communities to share local gossip and the responses did not disappoint. From debates over property rights to political scandals and corruption, the thread serves as a reminder that drama is not exclusive to big cities.

Surprisingly enough, there isn’t one at the moment. In our 3k pop town everyone has come together recently because one of our local homeless veterans lost his pet cat. The entire town has banded together to try and find her and even hated enemies are planning out search parties together.

There's a llama on loose in this town. The police can't catch it. The humane society can't locate it. And no one is claiming ownership of it. It's been sighted in several locations on the outskirts of town where there are multiple small farms. Sometimes it wanders into town and peruses through people's yards. People have complained to the police who claim they can't corral it as it's the Wyle E Coyote of llamas. It just doesn't want to be caught.

Not current but it needs to be documented in history - the serial Catnapper. A couple lost their cat so they went knocking door to door in our town, and came across their cat crying in a random home's front window. They call the police who arrive and find 50+ missing cats, along with a f*****g graveyard of cats in the garden. Some that had been missing for up to 7 years. It culminated in the catnapper, a 50+ year old woman, stuffing as many cats as she could in a car and going on a police chase through our little town. Most of the cats were identified and taken home, a very small few went to rescue centres, and the catnapper is currently going under mental health treatment. Apparently she just took home any cat she saw while on a walk for the last 7 years.
This happened about a couple years back but I had to tell the tale.

We had a lady like that in the neighborhood we moved from. She didn't believe cats should be outside so every one she saw she lifted and took home with her. No telling how many she took. She had a lot of mental issues and was always stirring up some trouble or another. She really needed elder care supervision. We moved away so not sure what became of her.

Had a neighbor who fed any and all cats. Didn't steal any, but where I live, practically no one spays or neuters, so... yeah. When animal control finally came out, they removed nearly 200 cats. Couple weeks later, there was an update in the local paper: two of the cats were up for adoption. The rest all had feline lymphoma and had to be put down. Oh, and our 3-year-old cat caught it from them and died, along with most of the other cats in the neighborhood. Neighbor ultimately moved to assisted living, house sold for dirt cheap, but the buyer ended up having to completely gut the place, cost him hundreds of thousands. Moral of the story: SPAY AND NEUTER.

This happened to my sister. She lived in a tiny apartment building back then and her cat would jump from balcony to balcony to visit all the other tenants every day. They all loved him, so if the cat would visit them, they called my sister to let her know. Until someone new moved into the building on the top floor. The very next day the cat disappeared for over six weeks. Everyone in the building who knew the cat helped searching (the cat had a collar with name tag and my sister's phone number), but when they couldn't find him they feared he was dead. Until one tenant said he was 100% sure he had heard the cat meow in the apartment above his own. My sister went to the top floor, rang the door bell - and when the door opened. her very own cat ran to her at top speed, past the gobsmacked guy who had moved in those 6 weeks ago. He had even put a new collar on the cat and basically held him prisoner.

I had this happen with my dog and it was in a big city. Not as rare as you might think. We got the dog back when it was taken to a pound by the pet hoarding lady’s son after she went to the hospital for an extended stay. Our pet was chipped. We were reunited after 1.5 years!

So glad my cats stay strictly indoors. We have a big enough house that they’ve got plenty of room to run around, plenty of windows to watch birds from, and plenty of places they can go for a private catnap when they get tired of their housemates, both feline and human (they recently lost their canine housemate, who they loved, and who counted them as members of his pack).

I used to be military and our guys would usually dress in drag, ironically rather than as a life choice, and none of them were infected with gayness or anything.

Nothing current but I have a great one from 5 years ago: So we had a guy who was quite the Libertarian. He owned a gun store in town and pretty much kept to himself. He will be known as LibGuy The problem started when he decided to have chickens for his own eggs but he lived within the city proper which had a rule against farm animals within the city (this is a rural farming area I live in). One of the city council members (he shall be known as A-hole) discovered he had chickens a few weeks after he got them and the city sent him a letter telling him he had to get rid of them. Well, he was not going to go down without a fight. So he spent some time looking into things and discovered the A-hole who reported him lived within the city and he also had chickens. Well, this of course caused a bit of a scandal. The city ended up claiming there was a grandfather clause for anyone who had livestock within the city prior to the rule change 17 years ago. The problem with that was that clause applied to the A-hole's father, not the A-hole who lived at the same address. Needless to say, the war was on! A couple of weeks go by and the town cops are messing with Libguy over petty s**t. Libguy somehow gets a recording of A-hole calling the police and lying to them about what Libguy was doing. Police now want to charge Libguy for some absurd ridiculous recording law that really doesn't apply since it was someone with the police dept who gave him the tape not that he stole it. This gets blown up to the point where the bigger cities news crews are now showing up to city council meetings that are being called to address this issue. These meetings are getting absurdly blown out of proportion and in all honesty somewhat slimy and jicky in how the city is handling it. Libguy subpoenas the city council emails to show there was a concerted effort to f**k with him and cover for A-hole. Well in the course of getting the Emails it was discovered that there was a sexting issue going on between three of the city council members. LMAO, believe me when I say this did not involve people that would be considered sexy. all three (2 women and 1 male) were married, 200lbs plus, and in their 50's. I mean Emails about double-dildos, pegging, swinging...etc..It was hilarious. In the end, the Libguy got the last laugh. he lost his chickens but found a loophole where he could actually own Llamas in the city since they were not considered [livestock. So](https://livestock.So) he put up a fence all around his yard (ugly chicken wire fence) just tall enough so the Llamas could not get out by jumping. People actually would go by walking their dogs and pet the Llamas. The problem though was that Llamas s**t like cows and it stinks in such a small enclosure. This went on for about a year until he sold his house and moved (it stunk for at least a block around his property and he lived right behind the town's grocery store). Two of the council members involved got divorced over the sexting issue and the third one sold her bar because of it. This was the infamous chicken scandal that plagued my town of 4K for 3 years.

I live on a dead end street in the woods. There are only 7 houses on our street, so everybody knows everybody. And for the most part, everybody likes everybody… with the exception of Frank. Frank f*****g sucks. Frank has 3 or 4 s****y vehicles parked on the narrow street in front of his house, despite having ample room to park the vehicles in his driveway. He blows all of his leaves into the street and leaves them there. He is loud, obnoxious, and rude. He burns s**t in a barrel in his backyard, despite a borough ordinance against it. And Frank gets away with everything, because Frank’s brother is one of only five cops. It sucks. Anyway, one other thing about Frank is he has a royal a*s ton of feral cats that live on his property. They set up shop under the s****y shed behind Frank’s house and just crank out kittens. The cats visit our home and f**k with our indoor cats through the windows, are constantly setting off the neighborhood dogs, and leave small animal corpses *everywhere*. Well, someone finally snapped and had been systemically catching Frank’s cats and taking them to the humane society. It took him a couple weeks to notice, but Frank has finally noticed that he is short 5 or 6 cats. He has knocked on everyone’s door to ask if they have his cats, or if we know who took his cats. Everyone knows exactly who took the cats, but nobody says d**k about s**t because everyone hates Frank and his f*****g cats. F**k you, Frank.

Happy ending though, the vet found someone to take them both, but they had to be indoor cats, to not risk others. I payed to get them both spayed.

People feed the stray cats out here and we have a Coyote problem. The coyote's have no natural predators. The only thing that decreases their numbers is starvation. Well, they never starve bc there are so many fat cats. Now all our animals are getting eaten. They wait until you take them out for a walk and then they pounce. They're not even scared of humans anymore. And of course they eat all the indoor/outdoor cats. I'm terrified every time my dog escapes out the front door. If you want to feed stray cats you should be obligated and trap and neuter/spay. At least then you're being responsible and not fattening up the coyote population.

A guy wanted to bury his parents on their (parents’) slightly rural, totally out of the way, virtually-no-neighbors property, but the village said no way. We don’t do that here. We’re classy. So he went to the state for permission to build a funeral home/crematorium instead, and he built a giant mausoleum with both their caskets right on the corner of the property where everyone and their grandma can see it when they drive by! And he has zero plans to actually turn this into a functioning business. It’s about half done, no landscaping, and construction vehicles parked all over the place. Gotta hand it to him!

In rural areas of the US, many farms had a family burial plot on their property. About 20 years ago, my state was looking for abandoned plots (like if the farm was abandoned, or there was no one left in the family to inherit it, or the land was divided up and sold to individuals or developers, or whatever). The state was not only researching and locating these sites, but also accepting reports of locations of these plots from citizens, as many had become hidden by undergrowth that had grown into dense woods. You could report the location as accurately as you could, submit it to the state, they’d send someone to locate it and log the coordinates correctly, and the state would clean it up and list it as protected ground that cannot be disturbed. That’s why you’ll see rural (or previously rural) lots with a random area fenced off that contains old graves and their gravestones. TBH, I think that’s one of the best things the state has done, because since most of the graves are incredibly old (well over a century at least), it preserves a piece of rural history, which tends to be overlooked.

He wins the election and is then later accused of bribing police, buying cocaine, and jury/witness tampering. He was removed from office. Here's the whole story: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.ledger-enquirer.com/news/local/crime/article268624507.html

So our controversy has been resolved…But the town I grew up in had a Beefalo (cow Buffalo cross breed) escape from a slaughter house. It spent months running wild in the wooded areas around town living off whatever it could find to eat. I had friends who were out for drives sending me pictures of their beefalo encounters like it was Sasquatch. This went on for months.
The story got picked up by a big YouTube channel and went viral.

Get them appraised by experts, then invite museums and collectors to purchase as many as they want. Or put the whole collection in an auction, with the more valuable pieces auctioned off separately, and the less valuable sold in lots, which can be anything from specific pieces that are related or complement each other to selling them by the (carefully packed) box. No need for the rocks to go to waste instead of appreciated, and for the buildings to stay empty and left to rot around them.

When I bought my first house, I thought I'd struck gold because it had this huge beautiful finished basement I shouldn't have been able to afford. Under a modular home, 40+ years old. Realtor told us the house was the first in the neighborhood, the only reason it had a basement was the prior owner for 4 decades excavated to build room for his rock collection. Not little pretty crystal rocks. Like a 40 year collection of rocks the size of bowling balls up to the size of small boulders. Took a year for the family to remove them and convert it to a real finished basement. But added so little to the property value I got double the square footage for the price of a single level modular.

Can you go to a nearby village and barter for a chicken to replace the killed one? (Not making a joke, genuinely asking if that would help)
Bonnie Edwards 2 years ago (edited)
No. The family has to make sure that the dog is either trained, and trusted to never do it again, or kept in a kennel. Think of it this way. Most city people have meat with a meal probably 3-5 times a week. Someone on a farm will eat meat maybe 1-2 times a week, and that may only be eggs. An unrestricted killer will kill all the animals it can get its teeth into, or frighten the remaining flocks into not laying eggs. Your meat is now more like 1-3 times a month. On top of that, you have to monitor the dogs every move, and try to keep it away from all the other animals. Then one day, a neighbours animal (pet or livestock) gets killed, and then everyone is looking at your dog, assuming it did that. Its a really good way to kill off all the goodwill in the community.

Trash pick up is a constant battle. So get this. Everyone I talk to wants roll carts. Across all sorts of backgrounds, ages, and so on. However the rich side of town thinks that roll carts might hurt the aesthetic of their neighborhood. Some city council members live in that area, but no one seems to want to bring it to a vote. Okay, fine. How about normal trash cans? Nope, same issue. Okay, how about we mobilize the citizens and get the a measure approved that will force the city council to vote on it? Yay we did it! Oh wait the deciding voter, who had been elected on a pro-roll cart basis, decided to be out of town the day of the vote. The solution? City labeled trash bags that you only get so many of each year, and which you need to pay for more if you go over your allotted amount. They will not pick up trash if they are not in the specific trash bags. Of course the various animals we have living here who like to eat trash see the city bag and go "oh no, cant eat that!" Not. The neighborhoods look like garbage multiple times a week because bags get split open either by animals or people overfilling them so they dont run out of bags. The city will not collect split bags. The city council also passed a measure saying they wouldn't speak on/debate trash collection for X amount of time. Trash collection is now on our questions to ask about when looking for a new house.

I wouldn't pick up the split bags, I would just tell the city that they were fine when I put them out. Then I would put more in the street because there's no room left on the curb. Then I'd call the paper. I don't have a rusty half repaired car in my lawn, and I don't have 30 cats, but I'll be damned if the city will cause me more work. On occasion they skip one of my 3 trash cans and when they do, I leave that can until they empty it the next time. I also pile new bags next to it if there isn't room for it all. And when they drop garbage, I leave it. It's usually not mine, someone else's take out box is in the street now and I'm not touching that, we're in a pandemic, I don't touch strange garbage. Then the city dug up my yard to put in a pile bit didn't fix it, so I had to call them out to do that, but they put sand instead of dirt and then they drove over my sprinkler, etc etc...

TBH, since cats and dogs can work on farms in various capacities, they could also be considered farm animals, so should be prohibited.

So, if a pig is kept as a pet (which has been popular since the 1990s) or service animal, they should be very sensibly exempt from this law.

To me, the question is "What was the underlying rationale for the ban on housing farm animals within the village?" An emotional support pig might present the same problems as a traditional farm one. If man-eating tigers are banned, I wouldn't exempt one just because its owner call it his emotional support man-eating tiger. (I believe that it's better to make your complaints about a neighbor to him in person, but in this example I think I'd just be picking up the phone.)

Local pizza place fired all its staff mysteriously last summer and closed for a few weeks. Naturally, rumors fly right away. Turns out the Mormon owner (who liked to parade his family as the paragon of small town virtue) was having affairs with multiple staff members. The wife kicked him out, fired anyone who knew, and then rehired and trained a bunch of new staff. One of the fired staff members then opens her own pizza place to rave reviews in the nearest town over. OG pizza place announces it will close at the end of the year - right after they run a promo for gift cards. People are pissed they only have a few weeks to use the gift cards they just bought (and were planning to give as Christmas presents) After weeks of record sales, OG pizza place announces they're staying open after all and now people are pissed they used up the cards they'd intended to give as gifts. Tl;dr: one pizza owner is disgraced, his wife kicks him out and takes over, then his mistress opens a competing business. Then a bait & switch about closing leads the entire town to be pissed off. EDIT: I just got off the phone with my dad and he told me that new pizza place was actually founded by TWO mistress. I straight up didn't believe him and he sent me the website for the new place. Yep, Mistress #2 is a manager. And their pizza names are all spinoffs of OG pizza place.

I don't live in a small town but my small bit of the city were amused today. A woman posted in the local neighborhood Facebook group to say a woman had knocked on her door at 6.25am. The reason was she had tracked her missing husbands phone to the address. He had not come back the night before. The man was not there and the poster was a bit concerned. This led to much chat about burglaries and whether she should post the ring doorbell footage. A man then joined the thread to apologise. It was the missing man. He had got drunk at the football and ended up falling asleep in the house next door to the woman who posted on Facebook. Much hilarity.

If the local horse dentist is actually a licenced horse dentist
Lauren S 2 years ago
According to google: 1) this is an actual profession 2) it appears being a licensed veterinarian qualifies you to be a horse dentist and dentistry classes are not required 3) some states allow non-vets to be horse dentists but require some different things like passing an exam or supervision by a licensed vet TIL
Lakota Wolf 2 years ago
Horse dentistry is srs bsns and extremely necessary for the overall welfare and well-being of domestic horses. They can get overgrown "wolf teeth" that need to be removed. And because the modern domestic horse does not spend its life grazing any longer, sharp points can develop on the outer edges of the upper cheek teeth (molars) and the inner edges of the lower cheek teeth. These can rub and catch against the cheeks and tongue of the horse, causing ulcers. Horses need to have their teeth regularly filed down with a rasp (called "floating the teeth") in order to prevent these sharp points from harming their mouth. So, I can imagine that it's VERY important for a town's horse dentist to be legit and to know what they are doing.

This is lovely in theory - but I lived in a small town where the council thought it would be nice to do the same thing. What they didn't count on was, this would cut down available parking spaces to 1/3. No additional parking was created to replace it. So people had to park up to 3 blocks away. That is way too far to carry groceries/ heavy purchases to the car. Suddenly, shops were going out of business because of the drop in customers. By that time, the council had allowed the widened footpaths to be taken up by cafes and garden beds. I think angle parking is space efficient.

Same. Council has discussed removing the 12 or or spaces that require drivers to back out into a very busy traffic circle and people lost thir minds. Nevermind that those spaces are already cordoned off for the busiest times, like festivals, and there is a HUGE free public lot 100 feet away.

About a year ago my hometowns favorite eating establishment burnt down. Lotta people pooled money to get him a new spot. A failing car salesman converted his place to a restaurant and partnered with the beloved restaurant owner. Business was thriving, food was fantastic and it was THE place to get food. The failing car salesman was talking and then some to the local bicycle behind his wife's back and was giving her free drinks and the two would stay at the place way beyond closing time. One of her kids went on her phone and was scrolling and found nudes on her phone of car salesman. The kid sent it to his friends and the friends sent it to even more people. Now basically the entire town has seen this red headed man nude wearing cowboy boots. Beloved restaurant owner quit and business is no longer booming because he has no cook. Car salesman is getting a divorce and closing the restaurant and this happened only 4 days ago.
Edit 1: Wow! Thank you everyone for the upvotes! This post has more upvotes than the population of my hometown (1.7k)
Edit 2: sorry for the confusion regarding local bicycle. I told this story as if it's to someone in my town who would just understand so that's on me. Reddit we gotta talk, a lot of you are trying to stand up for this lass, good on you, but she's a lady with 21 kids with 19 different lads and all but 4 have a reputation in the town. The 4 that don't are because the fathers have full custody of them. She's really not a very redeemable character in this situation.
Edit 3: a few asked for the photo to be uploaded and what the heck!? Lol you guys are wild!
Edit 4: so the beloved restaurant owner left the car salesmans restaurant partnership because of this fiasco. Some say there was some tension about how the business was ran and some say there was tension because he was cheating on his wife.
Status Update: the latest rumor off the old grape vine says the restaurant owner got a killer deal from the local real estate guy and will renovate an old closed business downtown into his new restaurant! Fingers crossed because he really knows his stuff.

So this one has been ongoing for a while, but... The Nutcrackers.
My hometown (where I no longer live, but still have family so I keep apprised of local matters) has decided, in a bizarre bid to increase tourism, to become The Nutcracker Town.
The reason? An older woman donated her nutcracker collection to the historical society. Something like 2,500 nutcrackers. I think because her kids told her flat out they would dispose of them after she died if she did not make alternate arrangements.
So, the town decided, well, they had all these nutcrackers on display. This could be good for tourism. We could be known for something.
People were bewildered and predictably upset. A lot of townsfolk don't *want* to be the nutcracker town. All the local businesses have been pressured to buy these giant expensive cardboard nutcrackers from the local print shop. They are *terrifying.*
There's been general outcry. Facebook groups, the whole nine yards. And still the town persists. Still there are these hollow-eyed giant cartoonish cardboard nutcrackers everywhere you look.
Edit: Someone guessed it, so I have effectively triangulated myself (internet safety fail 101). If you want to see some local news on the subject, [look no further.](https://www.keloland.com/news/eye-on-keloland/history-center-hopes-to-have-more-nutcrackers-than-people-in-luverne/)
Edit 2: Okay, since many people have asked (and not everyone can access the news sites), I've attempted to upload a picture of [the cardboard nutcrackers.](https://i.imgur.com/lVQ9zUd.jpg) Let me know if it doesn't work and I'll give it another go!

It would be one thing if the town was already known for creating and manufacturing beautiful quality nutcrackers. But apparently there’s zero previous connection between the town and nutcrackers aside from the donated nutcracker collection. Why doesn’t the town have the nutcrackers appraised, as some could be valuable, then sell or auction them off, and use the proceeds for something the town actually needs?

I get small towns needing to find a low-cost, no cost tourism theme, but they could easily do so much better than those boring cutouts.

City government paid over a million dollars for a consulting group to come in to “revitalize” the town. They called the downtown bar area, where the old railroad went through “The Depot District” and called it a day. I don’t know who’s buddy owned the company, but they got one over on the taxpayers.

Local grocery robbed in my hometown of over $2500 worth of cigarettes and beer. Thieves caught next morning and a whole front page story comes out the following day in the local paper with a commendation from the mayor to the police for their quick actions and solving the crime. Police followed their trail through 18-20" of snow to their front door 2 blocks away. Beer was banked in snow drifts due to the power being knocked out from the snowstorm. Brilliant detective work that surely rivals Sherlock!😉😁😂

The location of a veterans memorial. There is a lot of construction and the city wants to move the veterans memorial (just a plaque) about 150ft to a new spot where it will have a little park and sitting area. Half of the Vets and some conservative city council members are P****D and making all sorts of noise. City is confused because it’s actually a better memorial, only 150ft away from the original. City council elections begin to use this as their platform. Facebook fights galore. It was amazing.

It’s possible the location was perfectly good when the memorial was originally placed, but has become a problem since. This is why there should be more sensible long term city planning, especially for ostensibly permanent and unmovable things (or things that are extremely difficult and expensive to move), like statues and memorials for this very reason, instead of the haphazard and extremely shortsighted planning that’s been so rampant for decades.

Two years ago there were horrible fires in the valley I live in. Three people burned to death, tons of houses, and businesses lost. We are still recovering. The city decided this statue https://i.imgur.com/ZlgfmPN.jpg would be the best way to honor the victims. The back lights up to look like fire. Yup a statue showing three people on fire is how they wanted to honor the victims. Here’s an article about it [https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.kgw.com/amp/article/news/local/medford-statue-almeda-fire-controversy/283-61b9fd86-430e-4791-a201-da795347ec98]

While fleeing another hit and run, and possible DUI, some dude tried to go full speed directly thru the middle of our town square. The problem with that is we have a big historic fountain there. Traffic is usually supposed to swerve arround the fountain, he did not. This dude in a white suv ramps into our fountain, and smashes into the center pillar. Thankfully the fountain was off for the winter, so there was less damadge, but they still have no clue how, and how much money its gonna take to fix this mess. The car was removed, but the fountain is still wraped up in its tarp a month later. Theres security cam footage of the ramp and its all anyone could talk about for a few weeks.

holding PG&E responsible for burning down half the county last summer
Urbangirlatl 2 years ago
Especially for non-US pandas: California has had several deadly wildfires over several years that were attributed to electrical sparks from the utility company's equipment. California has had extreme drought conditions for multiple years, so the dry brush plus a spark/ trees touching the lines equal fires so large and long that the smoke caused haze on the east coast. Millions of acres burned, billions in property damage, and 100+ deaths. PG&E is accused of failing to properly maintain their equipment.
B.Nelson 2 years ago
Don't forget they were sued and now are charging more for electricity and natural gas. They can't be bothered to bury the lines to stop it from happening again because it is too expensive.

County scale: the council voted to redistrict based on maps that they made themselves. It was vetoed in favor of one made by an outside firm. They overrode it. Gerrymandering to hell and back Town scale: They're gonna demo the empty Sears building and I'm trying to find how and when so we can go watch it implode or something. Not controversial just wild. Very local scale: the 102 year old pillar of the community died and two pastors were fighting over who got to preside over the service. Neither could achieve a victory so they just. Recited the same prayers after each other. It was weird. Extended family scale: At this funeral I mentioned the "guy with the bulldozer" who digs the graves and was informed that's my second cousin. I blurted out the only thing I know about him, which is that he owes my parents 400$ for double charging them for digging my grandfather's grave. His wife was there. We don't know if she heard me or not. My mom isn't pleased.

Is any romance forbidden for us hilariously unsexy people, or are we still allowed to get a card on St. Valentine's day? Are there rules written down somewhere about this? How much does each unsexy factor weigh before we're required to join a monastery or convent? Are there layers to this? Can a 200 lb. person still be sexy if they're tall enough? What if it's a short, old person who only weighs 150? Us hilariously unsexy people need to know the rules here. At what point are we too disgusting to show our faces on the streets at all?

In the village I grew up in, the priest got drunk, attacked the store owner, and beat him with a vodka bottle. This happened at the store in the middle of the day and there were plenty of witnesses. The priest thought the store owner had an affair with his wife. That's how the whole village found out that she was having an affair, with the hotel owner. >>> Even further back in time a 6 yo kid got hold of his father's AK-47 and fired off several rounds in the middle of the village. No one was hurt but a building was hit. The nearest cop was two hours away and the villagers decided to handle it on their own.
