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.

People talk in the sauna? I thought that was a nono

At my local it's like a fucking pub in there. Yapping away. I wish they would all just shit up and sweat silently

That sounds terrible. Saunas look like serene places, not for places to talk about... anything.

They should balance it out with quiet hours or something. Or maybe a silent sauna and a chatty sauna

That's good idea, IMO.

It seems the rest of the world has decided that saunas need to be quiet, when the actual Finnish thing is a social event. You have a beer, sometimes a sausage on the oven. I don't know what the point of a stfu wellness sauna in a gym is.

Its social with people you know everywhere. Randos in a public sauna stay quite

People have told me and my friend to be silent twice before when we were talking in a respectful quiet tone, not even addressing anyone else.

In places I've been to, yeah.

I'm not interested in making small talk while trying to unlock all my chakras points and reach my final form.
