My family actually lived in the same village for about 400 years. They had great stability until the last century. People lived and intermarried in small villages.
Everybody's business is nobody's business, and nobody's business is my business.
The other day at a drive-through, I reminded the teenage girl serving me that she forgot my drinks. She looked at me, hissed, rolled her eyes, and then took her sweet time getting me the sodas.
