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.

Plumbers make hand over fist if they're good at their job. Many people get turned away by the "you deal with shit pipes" stigma so whoever sticks around are in huge demand.
It's not so much what the pipes hold that turns me off, it's where the pipes are. Crawl spaces and attics and other shit holes. You get paid so well because it's not a very glamorous job.
I have Arachnophobia. Despite working on it in small ways throughout my life, I still get an extremely strong flight response when one is too close. I enjoy working with my hands and am decent at it. Sometimes I feel just a little cursed. A wee eight-legged dude that wants absolutely nothing to do with me and I'm the one having a freakout.
I am also terrified of spiders. It helps to pretend that there are no spiders where your hands are, and thats just insulation and dust... not spider webs... yep yep yep!
