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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

Tbh i dont understand this. Probably because im european plus im tired but i cant figure it out.
Dad shows a gun to show OP he's a badass. Op doesn't realize and shows his gun.
Common American culture is that you're supposed to show your gun on the third date with the family, not the first. You're also supposed to have a Mexican standoff when you walk into the house, with dad aiming at you, you're aiming at dad, dog aims at GF, etc. And if he's lucky, they have a rousing game of Russian roulette before tapas.
Totally understandable if you didn't know. Just basic 2A knowledge every American learns about during elementary school.
what the fuck
The first sentence is real, the rest is just a fun bit of hyperbole. It really is not that common for an overprotective father to brandish a gun at his daughter's new boyfriend, but it has happened enough times to become something of a trope.
