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.

The OP in this screenshot feels superior because they are reading classical literature, which they believe is Greek but is actually Latin, and talking to an awkward bookstore employee on their first day who got flustered because they forgot that Ovid's metamorphoses was also a thing and were probably initially quite proud of themselves for instantly guessing "Kafka" when someone mentioned a book called metamorphoses.

Or maybe anon is just rage baiting ancient Greek/latin nerds.
