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.

Op would love Finland. Only ever talked to one stranger (who is now my wife) and the only thing we shake is the umbrella. And booze, well you will need it too.
introverted and alcoholic? Please tell me more about this wonderful place called Finland
Their mountains so lofty
Their treetops so tall
Eating breakfast or dinner
Or snack lunch in the hall.
Nah they don't have any mountains in Finland. The trees are great though.
Scandalous!
no. Scandinavian
What is the umbrella reference about?
Umbrella gets wet. Ya shake it. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Oh my god, I feel so dumb. I really thought you had just made a typo and said shake instead of share.
Sharing doesn't sound possible, or at least would require an unwieldy parasol or something.
I think all of my umbrellas can fit two if a couple, and three if everyone is okay with rubbing torsos.
Mine cant. Even with this latest safety distance-nonsense of just 2 meters.
Is that a Finnish thing or just the first thing you thought to shake?
There is no innuendo if you are looking for an innuendo. He's literally talking about shaking the rain off an umbrella. He's happily married and neither his wife nor he like to dance so they don't shake anything but their umbrella. Get it?
Finnish people do not shake hands.
What else do you shake on a fairly common basis, I suppose you also shake the bottle to get every last drop out. So it's bottle or umbrella.

Hey ya
When you go inside you shake the water out of the umbrella so it doesn't drip inside your house. Yeah, that's it, no reference or anything.
Yeah but like, is that somehow Finnish?
Yea finnished being in the rain
I think you're confused why he brought up shaking anything at all, what you're missing is that he brought up shaking an umbrella as a reply to the OP image that talks about shaking booty aka dancing.
The Finnish thing is that they don't shake booty. The umbrella being the only thing they shake was just a way to highlight that they aren't dancing like Colombians.
It's worldwide. Everyone around the world who has used an umbrella has shaken rain off an umbrella. Are you an alien from another solar system?
Maybe from Saudi Arabia? No umbrella-shaking in Saudi Arabia.
go to google.
type in "rainy day in Saudi Arabia"
click on images
It's referencing back to the original post about girls shaking their asses
