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.

Dad shows a gun to show OP he's a badass. Op doesn't realize and shows his gun.

Common American culture is that you're supposed to show your gun on the third date with the family, not the first. You're also supposed to have a Mexican standoff when you walk into the house, with dad aiming at you, you're aiming at dad, dog aims at GF, etc. And if he's lucky, they have a rousing game of Russian roulette before tapas.

Totally understandable if you didn't know. Just basic 2A knowledge every American learns about during elementary school.

Thanks for explaining the culture, they never show real America in the movies

Yeah. Real America sounds tougher than Sons of Anarchy

Leave it to Hollywood to sanitize real American living and make it so kid friendly!
