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.

"They don't have good manners, so I won't have good manners" is a terrible way of thinking and living. If everyone did this, it would only take one person to completely eradicate good manners from humanity forever.

Yeah I see your point and I've got amazing manners with human beings. It's a view I personally reserve for companies. And the larger they are, the less I respect them enough to have 'manners' towards them.

Perhaps it's the inability for people to treat corporations the way corporations treat people that leads to such a power differential.
