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.

They're usually underpaid, understaffed, and overworked. Little training for a job that's literally life and death.

Plus most dispatchers help with more than just police calls, they help deliver babies or deal with medical emergencies before EMS can get there
