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.

That, and teachers really fucking hate being called out on something for some reason.

All my teachers were fine with it honestly :3 at least after primary school.. if you corrected them they might've given you extra credit

But the general notion of saying something correct and people saying that that's wrong, and not knowing why still stands

I asked my science teacher why and how the periodic table was setup like it was, I got "that's how it's setup"

But why, there as to be a reason

That's just the way they made it

Yeah because they have to have gone by something what is that something

That's just the way they did, stop asking questions (please don't fucking learn in here)

Godamn that pissed me off.

Too proud to say "I don't know, I'll look it up and tell you tomorrow".

Yeah, that wouldve been a great opportunity to get me further interested.

I have never been in a job where "I don't know" is an acceptable answer, but I've always been in a job where "I don't know, but I can find out for you" always is.
