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.

This one is real. When I was at work, I was the one driving the conversations. "Hey Chad, yesterday we reached a nice consensus about how everyone here hates people living with their parents. But I think we could expand a little bit by adding how much people who take a long time to finish uni are despicable. Yes Stacy? This is also something that bothers you constantly? Would you like to share your disgust?"

Guaranteed true and straight 💯

Sorry I don't use the /s tag. I hope it would be obvious. Have a nice day anyway!

Unless of course you took one extra year or more to finish uni. 😡 I will address that issue at length, starting with [blah blah]

Some people bother so much with the life of others, instead of finding enjoyment in their own lives.

Why do you care how long someone took to finish college? How does it impact you if someone still lives with his parents?

[–] red_bull_of_juarez@lemmy.dbzer0.com 44 points 1 week ago (1 children)

It's a greentext that is very fake and designed to get the emotions of NEETs and people who still live with their parents up. While there might be very few people who despise NEETs, this is absolutely not a topic that is "all they talk about".

[–] swelter_spark@reddthat.com 8 points 1 week ago

I could picture it actually happening. I used to work with a bunch of people who constantly, for years, talked about how much they hated Northerners and people who had been to college.

[–] rustyfish@lemmy.world 18 points 1 week ago

It doesn’t. Some people are just assholes who have to criticise others to feel better.

If there isn’t anything to act angry or to make fun about, they make shit up. It’s crazy.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 4 points 1 week ago

No one does. Anyway if you're in education then you are by definition not NEET.

[–] Phegan@lemmy.world 70 points 1 week ago (1 children)

I can't tell you how many times, in my normal office job, we talked about how much we hate people who take a long time to finish uni. It's literally all we talk about. There are days we get so little work done because we spend so much time talking about hating this one very specific group of people.

[–] Gradually_Adjusting@lemmy.world 16 points 1 week ago

Hell, I'm surprised we're not talking about hating NEETs right now. Sitting at home jerking off ass hermits. Piss me off.

If this happened, which it didn’t because it’s just anon’s fictional insecurity playing out over their computer screen, then this would be an extreme display of their coworkers’ insecurity over their place in the world. You don’t exist to work. Work exists in service to your desire to live in human society and nothing else.

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

But maybe I don't desire to live in this society, there is just no other option because they will take away my things and lock me up or kill me if I try to defend them. Freedom isn't even an option, but whatever this is is still a bit less shit than a cell.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 3 points 1 week ago

Then learn to forage or farm and steal a plot of land out in the forested boonies. Or join a commune. Or move to another country with your belongings. Or or or or etc.

Your choices aren’t just jail or death, and whoever led you to believe that likely had a vested interest in your distress or compliance

Doesn't them having a job disqualify them from being NEETs?

That is what the second E stands for.

[–] ApathyTree@lemmy.dbzer0.com 8 points 1 week ago

I think that was a list of three things: neets, people who take a long time, and people living with their parents.

Because being in uni also disqualifies NEET status (Not in Education, Employment, or Training, so unemployed and not trying to gain skills to get employed)

[–] Sanctus@lemmy.world 27 points 1 week ago

Fuck 'em, Anon. Its hard in this bitch.

CUM ENTRANCE TEST

[–] djsoren19@lemmy.blahaj.zone 11 points 1 week ago

Finally, a test for me!

[–] redhorsejacket@lemmy.world 11 points 1 week ago

Not in Education, Employment, or Training. NEET.

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 18 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Anon lookin relatable as fuck tbh

I always feel like I'm behind enemy lines because i work with a bunch of fuckin bigots.

I lit them up once in one of those anonymous surveys. Yeah, a rep followed up with me afterward. lmao
But I'll fuckin do it again, too.

Hey assholes, you know the ethics trainings we keep getting forced to take? You're fucking welcome.

[–] Tar_alcaran@sh.itjust.works 22 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Yeah, a rep followed up with me afterward. lmao

"Here is the personalized link to an anonymous survey:"

[–] Irelephant@lemm.ee 8 points 1 week ago

Question 1: what is your name?

[–] Mac@mander.xyz 7 points 1 week ago

Oh, I was fully aware—they're all tracked.

But I've never had someone follow up with me afterward.

[–] Hoimo@ani.social 11 points 1 week ago

When my colleagues are being bigots, I try to tell them some personal experience, because that's what they respond best to. Sadly, they often conclude that I'm one of the good ones and their bigotry is generally valid. I just hope that with enough examples of "good ones" in their mind, they'll remember one without me having to push back.

[–] cyborganism@lemmy.ca 13 points 1 week ago

Fuck those judgemental assholes.

[–] OmegaLemmy@discuss.online 5 points 1 week ago

Ah. Is this one of them toxic work environments I heard of?
