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.

Ive never met a Dutch person or been to the Netherlands nor do I consume any Dutch media. But this seems like something they would do. It seems the Dutch are extremely fair.
Like the Dutch man might be worried that if he doesnt charge his coworker something then his coworker will worry about paying him back in some way. So he gives him an easy out and bills him 50c.
The coworker actually scammed the Dutch guy because he didnt bill him for the car ride and now the Dutch man owes him something.
Sounds backwards considering it could have just been coffee for ride if there NEEDS to be a transaction. Not everything needs to be an even trade
Transactionalism is more proof that humanity has reached the point past where it is actually desirable.
What kind of civilization could such people build? Where they can't do anything for another person, without giving them some ticket ti charge them?
I have done things for people knowing full well it is a gift, and that I have no right to ask for anything back.
This species disgusts me with it's illusionary, fake righteousness.
