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.

Most fantasy settings that allow for gryphon / dragon / other winged mode of transport, also have saddles for such beasts that tether the user to the saddle/ animal. If you fall off, you unclipped your harness and deserved it.

It's considerable extra risk and cost for insignificant benefit. Helicopters exist but I don't take one to work.

Speak for yourself, if i had the means to fly to work…

I've considered getting a paramotor for this reason. The only trouble is, it's quite a bit slower than driving.

I'd probably die electrocuted in one of the power lines if I tried to use that as my means of transportation to/from work.

Simple solution: wear rubber.
