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.

With the big trade-off that it eats up space and money when it's not a weekend or a holiday ... I sometimes think it'd be nice to own a car to go out on the weekends, but then I remember that I'd have to pay insurance and taxes independent on how much I use it (which would amout to "any other weekend", maybe), and couldn't use my garage as a workshop anymore because it'd be occupied by a car. Plus, short-term rentals and car sharing are a thing ... so, yeah ... in the end it always feels more like a liability than "freedom"
