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.

I prefer Gordon Ramsey's content outside of the US better because he is often less angry for angriness sake, and often because someone is doing something that will get someone sick or hurt. To me, that is what healthy anger looks like. An alert system that drives you to make changes and demand changes of others for the benefit and safety of everyone.

That probably isn't worded the best, and I am no philosopher or psychiatrist, but it is a worldview that has been healthy and helpful for me.

Nah that's spot on. He gets angry to see stupid shit and he isn't afraid to let people know because it does have consequences. Don't be a donkey and he's sound as fuck, I reckon.

But of course good TV means they'll put quite the muppets on his path, for drama.

Nah, he's often in for the drama, knowing drama sells. Often over the top, not authentic.

100%. The kitchen nightmares UK version was way way way better because it wasn't overproduced and dramaed up, it was focused on the food and the restaurant which is way more interesting to me than a bunch of idiots yelling at each other.
