These were taken from a group on the social networking site Facebook. The group is called "You know you're from Fairmont when..." I think a few of these are funny.
You know you're from Fairmont when...
- You've thought about suicide by jumping off the third street bridge.
- When you consider "town".. past the Village Pantry.
- When you count down the days until Dairy Cream Corner opens.
- When going to the Tygart Valley Cinema is considered a date.
- When you drive through the knob you duck for fear of a drive by shooting.
- When you consider Valley Falls a National Park.
- When the only famous person to come out of fairmont was Mary Lou Retton who doesn't even consider it her home town.
- If you remember "Hills".
- When you return from the Middle Town Mall you return with a Taco, A pet lizard, and a shirt from GoodWill.
- When you've been to every bar.. (there's only two.)
- When the biggest event of the year is the east/west football game and you only go to see the band.
- When you make the long loop from west to east to south fairmont counting padiddles and stealing road cones.
- When you want to be a valid member of the burger king car club.
- When its 2 a.m. and your wasted, mom's place karaoke sounds enlightening.
- When whether you break down, your farm animals are sick, or your nose is stuffed up, you go to chik's and find everything you need.
- When at least one part of your vehicle is dangling or fallen off due to jumping the infamous West Side Hump by the bus lot.
- When you know the name of every single person in your school... and half of them are your cousins.
- When you think of wave tech as more of a small scale Disney World.
- When there is a church and a high life lounge by every stop sign.
- You order a dozen Yan dogs with just sauce knowing darn well you'll put ketchup on em when you get home.
- When you drive past Mannington and you actually thank God that your from Fairmont.
- When Murials is considered a 5 Star Restraunt.
- You're gourmet grocery stores are five Shop N' Save's.
- You would literally piss your self just to not go to the bathrooms at the downtown movie theater.
- When the only place you can get a job is at Aegis.
- When you walk out of warehouse grocery with a 35 cent faygo and a birthday card.
- When Gabes is a Department Store.
- When you drive down "Speed Way" and the speed limit is 25 mph and everyone is going atleast 55mph
- When you see your Driver's Ed. teacher out at the bars drinking and driving.
- When you need to go to the hospital but you would rather bleed to death than be caught dead in Fairmont General.
- When you know better than to walk into the "Mountaineer Mart"
- At every corner you either see a hotdog stand or high life lounge and sometimes both
