There's been several threads by the same person complaining about rural life. People are sick of it.

We get city folk like you who move to our gorgeous countryside and ###ch and moan about every damn thing. Shut up. We don't want to hear you. Yes, you have to drive 5 mph for the length of a football field behind a tractor until it's safe to pass or he pulls of. You won't die. Yes, we have to drive slowly around horse and buggies. Again, you won't die. You might actually learn to have some patience and appreciate your life. Oh who am I kidding? Oh look a deer ran into your vehicle....that's a shame..how's the deer?
This was an hysterically funny satire take on the poster that you are responding to here, who isn't on this thread and REALLY didn't start it.

It's so quiet around here I can't sleep, but then when it's full moon it's even WORSE.

OMG! Please tell me that people aren't so dense that they don't get this is "tongue in cheek!" Heck, even my dog would know this was sarcasm and not meant to be taken seriously! I don't even live in a rural area and I thought this was clever and hilarious. I wish I did live someplace like that. Some folks truly need to lighten up!

Yeah, but this thread wasn't started by that guy but by someone else making fun of him.

1. Can't see or smell the air. Just what are we moving to?
2. I've had to interact with my neighbors when I'm started doing something important like working in my yard. Like, what in hell do I do with the pie they just brought over?
3. Not much traffic, but when there is, they make we wait while turkeys or a 'possum is crossing up ahead. It probably made me late for something or other.
4. The local store doesn't carry fresh vegetables from China and Mexico. This makes me have to pick them from my own garden, and that takes time and water.
5. Crime abounds. This month there were three, count 'em, three DUIs. This place is crumbling at the seams; maybe I shouldn't move here.
6. No Tesla dealerships close, and even if there were, I'd have to make my own charging station from 8,000 12vdc wall transformers. Jeez.
7. Only 3G available where I am moving. I actually have to use my computer to do downloads of data instead of my tiny phone.
8. Nobody close to brag to about my new something or other.
9. Can't keep up with the Jones's. I can''t see their house, so I don't know what to do. I'm confused.

I could go on and on.
Exactly.

And here the vandalizing is out of control with deer eating everything.

They only troll for attention, to instigate and get a reaction. The best way to shut them up and get rid of them is to simply not reply.
He was just joking, and I thought it was pretty funny...lol.

Please see below. I took the time to see if was the same OP. Nope. I don't knee jerk respond to threads. The OP has been around since 2013, and I also read respondses, before I post.
