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.

We had a grease can under the sink when I wasgrowing up. My fiancee and I use an old jar. I can't believe people didn't know better. They probably think it's fine to dump car fluids in the storm drain too. Idiots.

Plenty of auto shops in my area will take car oils free of charge. Same with the tip, bottle it up and drop it off on the next tip run.

The shop I worked in, and I assume most other shops in a cold climate, had a waste oil furnace. We'd save oil all summer, and it would keep the shop warm all winter.
