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.

Explain thy how the fuck.

A friend of mine (not me, I swear) once got sudden diarrhoea and shat his pants in public. He "found" a comparatively clean pair of underpants in the locker room, put them on instead and skedaddled. No one ever found out.

Could have just gone commando...

[–] [email protected] 16 points 1 year ago

Yea using someone else's underwear sounds way more discussing than just going commando.

$10 says that Anon is female.

I wonder if they could invent socks with a toe-print reader and a silent gps alarm... And while we're at it, let's add some exercise tracking stuff for runners. Only $500 and a monthly subscription!

[–] [email protected] 29 points 1 year ago (1 children)

$500, monthly subscription, and your GPS and foot data get sold for advertising purposes

[–] [email protected] 12 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Consider it an investment if you can also sell the realtime state of your feet via onlyfans. Even better if there’s an amateur podiatry chat for the real freaks.

“The way they’re curling their toes, they gotta be doing something good.”

“Get arch support”

“Sleep chat?”

“Seriously, get arch support”

"I use Arch (support) BTW"

But socks are worn under the shoes, not the pants

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

Not if your pants are long enough.

Checkmate atheists.

I'm repulsed and afraid.

The “repulsed” bit I totally get. What are they “afraid” of, though? That it’ll happen again?

Are they afraid for humanity in general? There are much worse things out there, pal. Read the news sometime.

[–] [email protected] 38 points 1 year ago (1 children)

It's reasonable to be afraid that someone who stole JUST your socks might be stalking you or something

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 year ago

Okay, that makes sense. Thanks.

Media is conveniently silent on this sock stealing epidemic

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Why did he take his socks off to go bouldering?

[–] [email protected] 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

You wear most climbing shoes without socks.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Huh, i always wore socks and no one told me otherwise. Wack

To be fair i was never doing anything too difficult

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago

Some climbing shoes are designed to use with socks, but many are designed to be used without.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago

I kinda wondered the same, since back when I climbed if I forgot my liner socks I would skip the climbing wall.

But I had janky shoes and I also recall there being climbers who insisted socks were bad and stupid since they inhibited toe movement.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I don't think I ever saw anyone with socks

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Cubbie? WTF? Every gym I've ever been to had lockers. you can't steal socks if they're behind a padlock (typically).

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

My bouldering gym has cubbies, basically a closet without doors, that are located facing the climbing area

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

The same happened to me at the pool when I was 10. I just thought it was weird back then, now I'm disgusted.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago

Most places have cameras, assuming this isn't a changing room. Most gyms have cubbies just on the side, in the open.

So, talk to the staff, figure it out.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

Good thing that didn't happen to me, I would have went through the all the cubbies and took someone else's socks.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (2 children)

You… would prefer stealing someone else’s used socks to wear while going home instead of, you know, not doing that and just going home? 🤨

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Socks > No socks

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It's the ciiiiiiiiircle of the gym sooooooocks and it ruules us aaaaaaaall

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

I forgot socks once, because I was wearing sandals. I contemplated doing this. I didn't though.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Maybe they'll get them back... when whoever took them is done with them.
