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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
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.
It's dated but still perfectly understandable.
Yeah thats a real expression? There's an old song that uses it hang on.

I love that song.
