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.

  • Be in Canada

  • Make small talk with random people you meet.

  • People offer to drive you around, so you hitchhike everywhere

"Wow everyone in Canada is so nice! They give you a ride wherever you want to go, practically for free."

  • Travel to NYC

  • Ride the subway all the way across town for, like, $2

  • Random people keep trying to make small talk on the train when you've got your headphones in

"Fuck NY, these people are assholes."

I've never understood the New Yorkers are assholes reputation. They're some of the nicest people I've ever met.

I had a map out, guy asks where I'm trying to go, I tell him the Met. He starts giving me directions. Another guy overhears and stops to argue with him about the best way to send me there. It was the newyorkiest thing I've ever seen. "He doesn't want to go that way, send him this way", "if you want to send him that way you might as well send him this other way".
