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 love WEARING SUNGLASSES.

I love WEARING A HAT.

I love DRINKING WATER.

I Love WEARING SUNBLOCK.

Jesus christ dude, if you get yourself into some kind of shape that isn't round, you aren't going to have these problems.

I hate sunscreen, the only thing worse than being sweaty all day is being sweaty and oily and sticky.

OP thinks sunny days are too hard. I have no idea how he survives rainy days. A bit of snow would kill him instantly.

I only disagree with the drinking water one to be honest. The others I find legitimately annoying. I still wear sunscreen, but only because sunburn is even worse

Doesn't bother me; it's 2 minutes to spray it on, and then re-apply every hour that I'm outside. As long as I'm wearing a hat to shade my face, I don't have to worry about putting any on my face, and then sweating it into my eyes.

Doing hard manual labor in the mid-day sun at the height of summer though? That's def. unpleasant as fuck. I can do 2-5 hours, and then I'm just done for the day. I don't know how some people can do that for eight hours a day, day in and day out.

Try 10 to 12 hours outside working. If you work outdoors, you ain't doing no measly 8 hours as a rule.

Disagree; most people that work outside are still working for a wage, and OT pay kicks in once you break 40 hours in a week. That limits most places to 8 hours, unless you're talking about undocumented immigrants that don't have any labor protections, or people that are self-employed in some way.

You've never been on a construction job site meeting a deadline have you? Been there, done that, got the tan, and I wasn't an undocumented immigrant.
