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.

Tried converting a story from TIFU to greentext because I'm bored at work.

I saved a Gimp Template while working on it: https://files.catbox.moe/ipnjzk.xcf

I have one of those fans. It only has a remote, no pull chains. I fucking hate that thing as much as I have ever hated anything in my life. It's so shitty. You would think having buttons would make it easier to use than a pull chain but they somehow made it even worse. Both the light and fan use the same Up and Down arrows to change the setting but there's a delay of a second or two between hitting the button and the fan actually changing (if it changes at all). There's also no indicator of which setting you're on currently (which is the only annoying part about pull chains). Also couldn't get it to switch directions for winter even after spending probably an hour on their site and Youtube looking at documentation and trying shit.

My remote controlled fan sounds like yours except it still has a physical switch on the side of the housing to change direction. I still hate the fan but thought I would share just in case you never checked.

Yea that was the first thing I looked for but this one doesn't have it. I'm like 90% sure I have the correct instructions to do it but it just does not work. These things are shit and whoever designed this should be ashamed of themselves.
