It is a sobering experience to someone, used to the anonymity of the city,
to move to the country and find out how much of his business is common
knowledge. I'm an EMT with the fire department, and I've often finished a
call and stopped in at the local store, only to hear the people there
discussing the patient and his condition. (Matters which we caregivers keep
confidential.) 

I've had mutual acquaintances sliced, diced and julienned by some of the
people I know, and it has been a big incentive to keep my own foibles
low-key.
