Okay, as you may or may not know, I live in a really crappy neighborhood. It's not gangbanger territory or anything... It's white trash. I have a trailer park across the street from me. Some people don't understand what trailer trash is like, but in Missouri, we have our own special breed of human filth. Check www.missouritrailertrash.com for an idea. So driving in yesterday from a service call, I see a bunch of the J.D. high schoolers walking from the bus, and at least half of them were smoking. o.O I thought to myself "You know you live in a trailer park when..." So... Here we go.
You know you live in a trailer park when...
... Your car gets broken into and the change in the ashtray and your smokes are stolen, but your brand new video card is left untouched.
... One of your neighbors' "houses" blow up from a meth lab.
... Fireworks are still being set off in August.
... The 6 year old neighbor kid is babysitting the 2 and 3 year old siblings while they ride their tricycles.
... You observe your neighbor working on their big bubba truck with 3' tall muddin tires... Using a butter knife.
... Said big bubba truck gets "towed" by another big bubba truck with a rope.
... You're the only one in the neighborhood that puts your children into child safety seats.
... There are diapers laying around in the road.
... The roads haven't been maintained since the area was built.
... When you take out the trash you note that the dumpster is full of beer cans... Until the other neighbor digs them out.
... Your neighbor wonders why their Vonage phone won't work when they don't have that thar fancy internet thing.
... You have to call the cable company monthly because of neighbors stealing your cable.
... There are as many running, legally registered vehicles as ones on blocks and with expired plates.
... You are the only one in the neighborhood over 20 with more than half of your real teeth.
... You are the only one in the neighborhood making more than minimum wage.
... You are the only one in the neighborhood with only yourself, spouse, and children (under 18) living with you.
... You are the only one in the neighborhood that has not, over the last year, had a police officer knocking on the door.
... Your 10 year old has a larger vocabulary than his buddy's parents.
