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.

Wants to get his shit together -- becomes a plumber.

[–] [email protected] 97 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Plumbers make bank, they’re in demand a lot

[–] MeDuViNoX 89 points 6 months ago (2 children)

They literally keep the shit of other people together... I don't know why I thought the people of green text would get the joke.

Aaah I am dense, thanks

FYI wasn’t criticizing you, was just saying

[–] Croquette 9 points 6 months ago

It took me a double read to get the joke. I'm dumdum

[–] [email protected] 40 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Now he's getting other people's shit together

[–] [email protected] 12 points 6 months ago

At any time he can lay a deuce in one of them pipes and get paid for it too.

Trades like plumber, electricians, etc make good money. Especially if they unionize and get that OT.

[–] [email protected] 16 points 6 months ago (2 children)

Problem is breaking into them

Everyone wants more tradesmen but none of the current tradesmen want to train any

[–] [email protected] 13 points 6 months ago

They're desperate now days. When I was younger and 20ish I tried breaking in and was basically told if I didn't have a friend or family in to forget about it. I eventually found myself a niche in the trades, but it was rough and not what I wanted. Now we're facing this demographic shift away from the boomers and because they where dicks about it then, it's a thing now.

I encourage any young person reading this who feels the slightest inclination to make a circut of their local union halls.

And crucially, they keep everyone's shit together

I mean... if you're going to start getting shit together... there are worse places to start.

[–] MeDuViNoX 9 points 6 months ago (1 children)

The only other better option for keeping shit together would be waste water management.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

But waste water managment ends in treatment plant, which separates shit altogether.

[–] MeDuViNoX 4 points 6 months ago

But it keeps the shit together.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 6 months ago

Now he can get other people's shit together, too.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

anon is still slinging that crack.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago

Yeah. I wonder, what future generations will see in 4chan archives.

[–] Habahnow -4 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Lol bro, you obviously don't know shit about plumbing if you think they can't have their shit together. They can make crazy bank.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 6 months ago (1 children)

I think the joke is plumbers deal with shit, not that they have low pay

I fell like you didn't read the comment I was referring to

[–] MeDuViNoX 7 points 6 months ago (1 children)

My comment or the one that commented on it? I read both, I dunno.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 6 months ago* (last edited 6 months ago)

No he meant the other comment from the commenter that commented on the comment of the other comment.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 6 months ago

You're saying MeDuViNox didn't read their own comment? Bold assertion
