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.

yup, you can never "boy who cried wolf" yourself about possible and realistic emergency situations. Sure it sounds like a joke - but it either:

is, nobody does anything, and nothing happens

is, gets taken seriously, and some time and resources are wasted

or

isn't, gets taken seriously, and a disaster is avoided

isn't, nobody does anything, and people end up dead or injured

a small waste of time and resources is always a better outcome than possible death and injury
