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.

Most people can't stand the 8-10 hour workdays. They try to make up for it by not trying to look at it as work, and judge anybody who does because it makes them realize that truth.

probably. i don't smile much and i'm quite happy and it seems to drive people into a rage when they ask me why I don't smile and I tell them I don't to fake it to make it. at least in american culture, if you are smiling constantly you are apparently horrible and depressed.

def not true of other cultures though. I lived in Germany for awhile, and they think the American obsession with smiling is utterly bizarre.
