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.

saying "shalom" or "namastey" or "hola" as a non-native speaker was an irritating "hip" thing to do when that movie came out, and that's a scene where Peter Parker is trying repeatedly to be "hip" and failing spectacularly.

Unfortunately you are not allowed to speak in tongues outside of those you were born into.

Also nice username.

As someone that does this...

People say I'm irritating but endearing.

So take that as you will.

yea, it's irritating by way of inconvenience, especially in monocultures like the states, but it isn't wrong or a "bad" behavior, so go for it.
