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.

My job is 15 mountainy miles away, and when I show up drenched in bicycle sweat everyone in the office says I smell bad
People shouldn't live that far away from their workplaces. They didn't used to, before we invented shitboxes.
I would love to live 5 minutes away from my workplace
But I saved about $300,000 on my mortgage when I bought a more rural house that isn't near the city/my office building
If it's cheaper to live in the middle of nowhere, with water and electricity and internet needing to be piped all that way out there, and the gas bills, and the road wear, then the government has failed. High and medium density housing costs the government less in maintenance, stimulates the economy, and is cheaper to build. Any functioning economy would price those homes cheaper. If you're saving 300,000 by costing the government all that extra money and polluting the environment, someone fucked up on a colossal scale.
Welcome to every modern country, but especially North America.
Spoilet alert: someone fucked up on a colossal scale.
