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 must address her as “Lesbian” for now until eternity, considering that’s all she is.

"Hell yeah I like chicks too!" go for a high five

[–] [email protected] 17 points 5 hours ago

What prompted that disclosure? Could she smell the horniness emanating from Anon? Did he, as he noticed she was a woman, give off a vibe like a starving cartoon wolf imagining the main character as comprised entirely of sausages?

Sorry that you feel obligated to mention this based on your past experiences. I hope our interactions are professional. Please let me know if I step over a line... my jokes are sometimes a little off but never misogynistic maybe a little dark, but I work on it.

With that out of the way ... my Name is Anon, I am happily married. Now.. let's Beginn =]

"THAT JUST MEANS SHE LIKES WHAT I LIKE"

So, do you pronounce the full name, "lesbian", or do you shorten it to "les" or something?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 7 hours ago)

"me too"

In this case its a bit different but what i see is that everything is oversexualized but the effect of that is people are actually more lonely because every social interaction you have with anyone who could be a sexual partner automatically becomes strange.

Respond super excited, like when you meet someone who shares the same niche hobby than you: "I like girls too! So tell me, what have you found to be the best technic to eat pussy?"

[–] [email protected] 96 points 16 hours ago

"Hi, Lesbian, I'm Brian."

"Good for you, but what does that have to do with the job?"

“I, too, am a connoisseur of fine pussy.”

A thespian you say? Why, I was in a production of Hamlet myself!

[–] [email protected] 8 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Thespians? Aren't those illegal in 7 states?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 9 hours ago

Omg if they wear the clothes off the opposite gender

E tu, brute?

What's your best pickup line?

And I'm married, so I'm kind of asexual (at work), so we're ought to be friends!

It's probably a way for her not to be flirted with. To protect herself. So I'd say something reassuring like that.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 9 hours ago (1 children)

Really fucking arrogant/egocentric to assume every guy out there is trying to flirt with you, no?

Like, I'm gay, if someone said that to me though I'd be tempted to report them to HR for a hostile workplace interaction.

They're literally passing judgement on you by appearance (what else was disclosed in that scenario? literally nothing), and that's not ok.

[–] zloubida 3 points 7 hours ago* (last edited 6 hours ago) (1 children)

If you're a woman and have to be near an unknown man, it's safe to assume the worst. It's a sane reaction.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

They're your coworker for Christ's sake. Why assume the worst?

[–] zloubida 1 points 1 hour ago

Because male coworkers harassing female coworkers is common.

[–] [email protected] 26 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

I respond by hoping I'm a girl in this scenario. Anon forgot to specify.

Anon also forgot to lead with "be me"...

[–] [email protected] 12 points 15 hours ago

It's time for anon to drop the classic dad joke

[–] [email protected] 13 points 16 hours ago
[–] [email protected] 16 points 16 hours ago

Hi Lesbian, I'm Anon.

[–] bamfic 15 points 17 hours ago (2 children)

Shrug is the only correct response at work. Or maybe "that's nice" to be more polite.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 hours ago

Or "noted" or just "ok"

[–] krashmo 2 points 14 hours ago (2 children)

Is that polite though? I get that it isn't explicitly rude but I pretty much only use that phrase as short hand for "why are you talking about this you fucking weirdo?" I think it's subtly rude at best.

[–] [email protected] 15 points 12 hours ago

Most politeness is about rephrasing rudeness in a subtle way. What OP's fictional coworker did in this fictional story is explicitly rude as it assumes the worst from meeting a new person, the most appropriate response would be something that is subtly, but noticeably, rude.

[–] mriormro 9 points 12 hours ago (1 children)

If a team lead, sight unseen, just tells you their sexual preference without any context or follow-up then yeah that's fucking weird and they're a weirdo.

[–] krashmo 1 points 7 hours ago

Yeah definitely, just saying I'm not sure polite is the right label for a response with that kind of subtext.

“Sounds like we have something in common.”

Let's compare notes then!
