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.

it's a quite common phrase in indo-english, "please do the needful" which means like, please do whatever is necessary.

But what does he mean by this? I have not done the needful sir? What is he referring to? Like consummation?
