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 remember arguing with my mum over a banner ad that said "congratulations you're the 1000th person to visit this page, youve won 1million dollars"

I was really young and I was like mum just put your card in here and get a million dollars its so easy and you always complain about having no money. Its not a scam we just got lucky.

I am lucky neither of my parents had a credit card or any trust for computers.

I only fell for one of those maybe once or twice before I caught on. No money was lost though. just spam/adware

I did manage to get scammed and have my habbo hotel account stolen though, I was also a stupid kid.
