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.

Hear hear! As a bigger guy with a faster pace, I have yet to find a way that doesn’t make everyone uncomfortable while also making me frustrated as hell because I can’t walk at my own pace.

Even worse, I’m probably walking with my dog, who likes an even faster pace, and she’s a rescue who looks scary and isn’t yet well behaved

That would be hilarious …. I’m not sure I remember how.

Step 1: braid your hair. Two braids to the sides or two pigtails, either works

Step 2: get one of those big swirly lollies

Step 3: ba-dee ba-daa

Wear a reflective vest. It makes it obvious you're just trying to safely walk your dog, makes you less likely to be hit by a car and signals safety because dangerous people don't usually want to be conspicuous

If it makes you feel any better, a large person walking with a scary dog seems much less likely to be a psychopath than just a large person by themselves (to me, at least).

Obviously not to say that large people are psychopaths 😂 just that someone with an animal they're caring for doesn't strike me as someone who is going to attack me.

No fair! My cat is at home, so you can't see me snuggle her little face.

Well, who's fault is that now, really?

Nobody's, cat just don't like walks. I can show pics though if you'll just stop running!

I think (as a white dude, so take your grains of salt as you please) that a dog would make you less threatening. Makes it clearer what you're up to, and people bringing their dogs along to mug or rape someone is exceedingly rare.
