This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

I fucking promise you we don't prefer to drive, it's the only option we have. Our government fucked us

Facts. One time we were talking about how cool it would be to live really close to a mall as a kid.

Then we realized that our local mall has no pedestrian crossings or even sidewalks, so you'd still have to get adults to drive you even if you were across the street. Or play frogger across several lanes
