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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

A few years ago I regularly took the same morning bus to work. There was this maybe 16-17 year old kid who sat on the back and would listen obnoxious rap at full volume on his phone, while hogging the whole seat row with his stuff.
I had my headphones on but the hideous rap blared so loud I couldn't hear anything else. In my country we rarely interfere with other people's business, everyone was just sitting tight looking pissed off.
After few minutes I stood up, walked to the kid and told him to either turn that shit off, use headphones like everyone else or I'd throw his phone out at the next stop. He looked at me for a moment completely dumbfounded but turned the noise off and left the bus at the next stop.
He never took the same bus again.
And the bus driver clapped.
I live in Finland. We do not clap.
Everyone on the bus remained silent, just you are expected to be while in public spaces. This is our way.
Damn. Now i desperately want to live in Finland.
My family comes from Finland, and seeing these things make me wish to return to the Motherland
Then I remember you have to live next to Russians, and I'm still not sure if that's better or worse than being in the same country as Texas.
Do you like alcoholism? /s
