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.

Where did I say that? I said it was NOT REALLY needed. I even said both sides exist in another sentence.

That means that both sides exist. I’m sorry you missed an important word that changed my phrase from one meaning to a vastly different one!

Buddy Im sorry that you worded your statement horribly, but come the fuck on. You know you're being ridiculous

It’s ridiculous to think there’s a large portion of people will never need to manually zip or unzip something…?

No, it’s ridiculous to think that everyone else in the world must share your same experiences.

It’s not worded horribly, you just have a ridiculous notion that everyone must have the same experiences in life apparently. I stated both sides existed, twice in the same comment.

The sheer amount of irony to be this close of being self swsre is frankly comical.

I don’t think that term means what you think it means.

And why is this communities go to insults when questioned or they missed the point on something? Very mature.

I don't doubt that that isn't what you meant to imply. But what you said absolutely came off to any literate person as "well I don't need them so therefore they're not really needed". Aka "lol I don't need it get fucked"

You worded something poorly, which is blatantly obvious considering the vast majority of people interpreted it the same was as I. It's ok to admit that bud

I use them infrequently with my job.

Not my fault you assumed a whole bunch of shit since you missed a word. And yes, misunderstandings happen and people follow along, that’s social media. In another thread I could say the exact same phrase and the interactions would be the exact opposite.

Vast majority… a whopping less than 2 dozen people, with social medias band wagon trope, yeah I’m not concerned about that. The fact that you think it’s important enough to mention is quite frankly sad.

Theres more than 2 dozen comments in this thread that share the same thought as me, of course they aren’t going to get involved in something already downvoted, I know my thought is shared. If even a few people derailed this one unfortunately.

More to do with the company actually, but hey stay on that high horse and continue with the insults. That will really make people want to engage with this community.

Blocking you and what I thought would be a cool community, that’s on you mate.

Mate you're free to do whatever you like. You said something that didn't consider a large number of people, and said it in a way that came off as basically telling them they're irrelevant and to fuck themselves. You were rightfully called out for this.

Instead of being an adult, realizing you messed up, acknowledging it, and everybody walking away, you decide to play this grandiose victim card about how everybody is so awful. You look a fool

Blocking you and what I thought would be a cool community, that’s on you mate.

I prithee wilt reconsider thine decision and not withhold thine presence from our hearts!
