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.

Welcome Anon to the confusing gameshow of "Is she flirting or is that just how she is with friends!" /s

I kinda want to know what Anon and his "female coworkers" thinks counts as flirting. Simply being nice to someone and having fun talking to them isn't flirting, as much as some guys might like to think it is. Now if she was a more touchy person, I can see how that'd be mistaken, as being touchy is also a common way of flirting.

Though find it odd that she waited until the very last minute to ask if her boyfriend could come. And also, guessing "I'm no longer interested" is paraphrased, cause nobody on 4Chan is mature enough to not make things incredibly uncomfortable at work after this.

And also, guessing "I'm no longer interested" is paraphrased, cause nobody on 4Chan is mature enough to not make things incredibly uncomfortable at work after this.

If maturity is the argument, there are several different options I'd be considering:

  1. Nobody on 4chan is mature enough to work
  2. Nobody on 4chan is mature enough to not have already made things incredibly uncomfortable at work
  3. Nobody on 4chan is mature enough to detect flirting
  4. Nobody on 4chan is mature enough to ask a coworker out
  5. Nobody on 4chan is mature enough to have hiking as a hobby/date proposal
  6. Nobody on 4chan is mature enough to not just reply "yeah sure" to the boyfriend idea
