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.

They didn't think you were homeless. They correctly saw you struggle to buy a 10 dollar pizza with change from your pockets.

Most people will use a 20 or a card.

Yeah, you didn't "need" the help, but that helped you nonetheless.

Also I know this isn't OP so my breath is wasted, but people need to realize you don't need to be homeless to be in a rough spot. You can be working poor.

Or they really didn't want to count $5 in change.

Probably a bit of both. Empathy and laziness are amazing when they can both happen at once.
