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.

Yeah maybe. Doesn't seem to stop redneck fathers of teenage girls in conservative states. They consider it a rite of passage for fatherhood.

My FIL did a gun cleaning night when I was first taking his daughter out on dates. Had 3 guns disassembled on the kitchen table and let me know they'd be reassembled by the time I brought her home. He's a really nice guy, but yes, that shit is "normal" in the US

It isn't normal, the weirdos just think everyone else acts like them.

Back in my college days I was picking a GF up from her dads house and walked up to him sitting on the porch with a rifle in his lap. He was cool with me but it was still awkward. I was just like "......... shooting stuff?". "God damn squirrels won't stay out of my garden".

I had a high school girlfriend whose dad pulled that bullshit. I realized quickly that I didn't like her enough to deal with that level of crazy.
