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.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

being loud should be made illegal

Joke is that it did. Now Germany has its Nachtruhe

That's not a common thing? Nighttime disturbance being illegal?

I’m an immigrant in Germany and my boss (from here) recently asked me if it was a jerk move to do laundry on a Sunday if she checked with her neighbors first.

It made me realize I’ve been such an unintentional asshole. I’ve been avoiding things like carpentry and band practice, not laundry. There’s a guy on my street who mows the lawn before nine in the morning on Sundays though, so I’m not the worst in my neighborhood.

I don't think anyone actually cares about washing machines on sundays, as long as they're not running after 22:00 ... though YMMV based on how anal your neighbors are and how much they hate you.

Also, fuck lawn mowing and leaf blowing in the morning. And all those assholes who accelerate their cars and motorcycles loudly for fun.
