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.

I got in a fight with Verizon and the FCC over bootloader locking when I was 15, some of us just have nothing better to do than be a complete and utter pedantic menace as kids

I think kids being pedantic menaces are a very important part of society. most of the times it's over good things, but adults don't have the time or drive to address it.

Awww did mum and dad not let you use the phone? 😭

Anyway the correct response is fake+gay. If you analyze it you've already lost.

By providing the accepted meme response, you are participating in the brainrot

I'm fine with that

I mean I tried calling the ISP in my teens. They wouldn't talk to me and left us without internet for months. They would only talk to the bill payer, who was in Afghanistan at the time.

You are calling about a billing issue when ypu are not the account holder. You were not old enough to negotiate a contract so they could not help you.

The OP in the green text was calling about stolen power. That shouldn't require talking to the account holder.

It wasn't a billing issue. It was being paid for but they broke it after digging up the road.

[–] QuoVadisHomines@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

They still need an adult to negotiate with in that case. They wouldn't in the case of stolen power though the police would be the proper authority to contact

[–] Korhaka@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 week ago

They didn't know I was in my teens, they just cared that I wasn't the bill payer.

Yeah children can't do that. I just handed one my phone with the number dialed, and the screen didn't recognize when she pressed call. She still has my phone and is starting to scream and curse at it. Maybe it works if they press the button with a stylus?
