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.

We evolved to live and work in groups of 150, max. Past that our brains get overwhelmed and fall back to pattern matching, another evolutionary trait, and a powerful one in us humans.
We're so good at judging people that when someone's behavior throws us for a loop, it's a memorable event.
The only trick is making a conscious decision to stay the hell away from "all $people act like $X". Even if I think a customer walking up is likely to be a chud, I greet them openly and friendly. Works out great.
