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.

A lot of it comes down to experience. For a senior paramedic, a multi-car crash with people screaming all around is probably just another Monday, while I do get quite disturbed by seeing things that are supposed to be inside the body. Not that I couldn't stand blood, it's just wrong, and sets of the same pre-historic monkey alarm bell as big spiders and unusual amounts of fecal matter.
While I believe you can learn to push through most of that, different people have different tolerances for different things at different times. Plus, "I can handle this" is different from "I enjoy watching this right now". I would be pretty happy to have a gore warning when watching something while eating, for example. Or a warning about a super depressing story when I am feeling down anyway.
