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.

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

When my first grade teacher was explaining a timed math test we were going to do, she said to visualize the numbers in your head so that you would know the answer to the question.
So when the test started, I went down problem by problem, 21, 48, 36... And then when there was only like one minute left in the test she asked me why I hadn't written anything yet and I told her that I was saying the answer is in my head like she told us to.
She was like oh no, but you have to write them down also and I suddenly realized those were just the instructions for how to do math in your head?
And then I frantically wrote down the answers.
when i was in 5th grade (in 2004), i had never seen a computer before. we had our first IT class, and after turning the computers and monitors on, we were told to look for an icon that says internet explorer and click that. i looked for a good 5 minutes and i couldn't find it. showed the guy next to me my mousepad that had lots of pictures and text on it, "i can't find internet explorer". he pointed on my monitor and told me i should be in a special school.
Pity upvote.
