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.

Only in places that are as car centric as the US. I get to work by train. Plenty of people living in bigger cities with decent public transport in Europe or Asia have no need for a driver's license

I'm from Vancouver, I never got a license until I had collected so many tools in my standard kit that I was struggling getting from site to site. Carrying 40kg up big stupid hills was the breaking point.

Ok but what if you're American and the meme still applies?

I'm from NYC, I've never needed a car.

I'm like the only person I know without a license though.

I wouldn't know, I've never been there and they're not going to let me in either
