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:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

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.
