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.

Most couples think they're Jim and Pam, but my ex-wife and I always laughed about how much we were like Michael and Jan. It wasn't as funny when we started arguing in front of dinner guests in real life though.

Had an ex, we said we were like Michael and Holly.

I think most people are actually Michael and Holly, even though they want to think they are Jim and Pam.

No we wanted to be Michael and Holly. We acknowledge our awkward dorkiness.

I don't know where my wife fits into this equation, but I find Stanley to be the best match for who I am, and is definitely the most relatable character on the show for me.

Wait do you cheat on your wife? 🤔

Is the joke that you went out with multiple women at once?

I did have a torrid love affair with a pretzel once.

So ... The prezel is free now?

My ex and I are Batman and Catwoman. Completely different life goals, but we want to see each other succeed and are good friends. Plus she's smoking hot, and you could cut a cake from the sexual tension

I always saw me and my ex as Andy and April from Parks and Rec without the age gap. She always wanted us to be Pam and Jim, but I've always hated both of them as characters. They're fucking bullies.
