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.

Wait, we're discussing the wrong thing entirely.

This woman took the bus for a one mile hike while she was in college? Like, in her twenties she looked at the prospect of walking for just over a kilometer and a half, a distance you can apparently cover by bike faster than by bus, and she went "nah, I need mechanical help for that".

This happened in the US, didn't it?

Lots of universities have free busses that you can just walk on, no pass or anything needed that loop around campus. They're so frequent and convenient that using them is often just the routine, even if it's not literally faster. It's easy to get into the habit of waiting for the bus on cold days, and you keep it in the summer.
