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.

I live in a mid-sized city in the UK, and if I lock my bike outside, someone will try to steal it within 30 mins, almost without fail. We've tried getting public bike cages set up, but then motorists get shitty because those portable cages end up taking up space that cars could use.

I've dropped hundreds on bike locks alone, and despite this have had parts of my bike stolen when someone decided that they couldn't get through the lock, or couldn't cut through where I've secured the lock.
