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.

My guess is that it's more sanitary to breathe through your nose if you're in an enclosed room full of people with suboptimal ventilation. That way you're not all chilling in a sauna of each other's saliva.

Other than that though it seems kinda stigmatizing towards people with seasonal allergies, which is kinda shit.

Oh and George Washington apparently wrote a book on etiquette that includes not breathing through your mouth. Weird facts one remembers from homeschool, amirite?
