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.

come on guys it's been a day and a bit... I only click on these to see how it gets explained as fake and gay

[–] Johanno@feddit.org 26 points 1 week ago

Fake

Op going outside

Gay

Op getting answered by another male

Well because you asked... It's fake because if you're a native New Yorker (or I assume if you've lived there long enough) you become numb to the nose and stop hearing it. And probably more importantly, people scream at the top of their lungs in NYC all the damn time, New Yorkers DO. NOT. RESPOND. YOU DO NOT LOOK. YOU IGNORE. Eye contact is a great way to get assaulted by a homeless person who is possibly dealing with psychosis.

Lastly NO ONE in New York uses the phrase "badda bing badda boom", that's some lame Hollywood trope, I've literally never heard anyone use it in real life.

Hey now, that's not fair. In NYC, it's also a great way to get scammed by fake monks.

OP was seeking the attention of a greasy dude in a tank top

And even if not directly seeking it, he got pleasure from a greasy dude in a tank top.
