I've been previledged to visit lots of village settings and there's a trend I find interesting.
The actors actually see it as a way of life. Sometimes as a means to an end but mostly the acts are above their power or will...and age is no barrier!
The actors are:
1) the village troublemaker.
This person sees no issues with raising issues with anyone!
He or she wakes up and goes around the village and picks up quarrels or fights all day and all year round! Only on sick days does he or she relent!
2) the village drunk.
Typically he or she reeks of alcohol from dawn to dusk... staggering and swaying in the wind...beaten by the rain or not finding his way home when totally knocked out! But will surely resume the following day! Most times he's broke but is never lacking in a cup or two to start the day! Funny that some are even married with kids!
3) The village belle!
This usually are female... she's everyone's bedmate! As a visitor to the village your guys will present her to you even though they also have had her in the past!
She's ever ready to date or have a one night stand... with anyone!!! Just say hi....she's yours...
These three actors make the village life spicy and interesting always!

Almost all the villages have such people

The life in rural settings is utterly boring. The listed actions are how people entertain themselves.
