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.

How exactly did the random stranger know he was an English speaker?

If you have ever had a good bout of food poisoning that cleans you out I guarantee you’re bitching and swearing about it when in the throes of it. So if the story were real I’d bet there was plenty of choice English for people nearby to pick up on.

Probably the smell?

He didn't pray to Allah to save him, or make deals with him about changing your ways if you heal me from this misery.

There nothing like food poisoning to make you religious and reassess your entire life.

I hope I never get that sick ever again.

Bro, you skipped a couple lines. The next part is, "I tuck you in, warm within, keep you free from sin, till the Sandman, he comes." Then you sleep with one eye open while gripping your pillow tight.

Well I have a new way to weird out strangers having a time in the public facilities.
