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.

That's not a "life-debt" as much as it's just regular insurance debt.

The same logic would apply in western countries, but the practice we have make it less likely you'd get away with murder so actually driving over someone to kill them on purpose after an accidental crash isn't quite as common as in China.

Nothing to do with "saved your life so now I'm now responsible for it".

Which is exactly what I wanted to clear up with the Snopes link.
