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.

This is how I felt when I was explaining to the dealership mechanic about how my car would buck when shifting up after dropping into a lower gear to pass someone.

I called the lower gear the passing gear, and he looked at me like I was a moron.

I was vindicated the other day because my coworker from a family of mechanics (and being one in his free time) used it.
