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.

Make everyone always wear their safety gear, be it in the car, on the bike, at the workplace. Make them. Always. Do not allow anyone to omit anytime, never ever.

Anon could be fucking his happy girlfriend of five years right now if he had followed this simple rule.

Also, never let your passenger put their feet up on the dashboard. Unless they want their lungs punctured by their own tibia.

That sounds fun who wouldn't want that?

Or rest their head near the side curtain airbags. Loads of cars have them now.

But how about RSI from sitting still in the same position for too long?

Easy, just jump out of a moving car every once in a while.

I dated someone a long time ago and when they first got into my car, I waited for them to put their seatvrlt on. They refused. I told them the car isn’t moving until their seatbelt is on, and if they take it off, the car stops.

I used basically the same strategy when my dad first lit a cigarette in my car.
This thing isn't moving an inch if you smoke and I'll stop if you light it again.

Times have changed. They thankfully don't even smoke in their own car anymore.
I vividly remember the hell of road trips with both my parents smoking with the windows up and I'm not dealing with this in my own car or home.
