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.

Anon, don't pretend you didn't hear, express sympathy. You don't have to know a person to know grief.

(And then you become a human to them, and they'll remember you need your haircut finished. Even if they're annoyed, they can't really say so if all you've done is express sympathy. They'll cut your hair just to be rid of you.)
