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 a very real condition. my wife has a phd in experimental physics and can NOT remember which is which. if she looks at her hands she has a trick (the L your thumb and index fingers make is the correct orientation) but say "turn right!" to her and you might have well just made the muted trumped voice from the old peanuts cartoons
Does she remember whether she's right or left handed? Just as a static fact about herself? I feel like it should be easy to reconcile an instruction like "turn right" by cross-referencing the knowledge of "I'm left handed" with "this is the hand I prefer to use".
truuuust me she's tried everything you can think of. I find it surprising that she cant remember right as in correct as in dominant hand but she cannot. its honestly a little baffling
