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.

his coworkers are the socially inept ones that's a top tier dad joke.

Seriously, that was fire, either his coworker was a much worse social reject, or greentext had already fucked his reputation at work. Since it's 4chan, I can easily assume he tried to hit on every female coworker in some really creepy way and now nobody wants to be near him. I had a coworker like that. Everyone hated him.

now I get flashbacks to the time we did a company retreat at some holiday beach.

10 or so of our company go on a sailingboat party tour with another group: a very obvious bachlorettes party. a dozen or so woman, with one of them wearing a white bikini and head gown.

creepy-social-inept-dude from our company decided to try his luck. With the future bride of all people.

It was quite amusing and sad to watch

i would definitely have laughed at that.

[–] SaharaMaleikuhm@feddit.org 13 points 6 days ago

Everyone is now blankly staring at you.

[–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 5 days ago

Yeah, that would have been my cue to leave and never hang out with those people outside of work ever again.

I once walked towards a dude wearing the same shirt as me in a nightclub on my way to the toilet. I said, "Nice shirt bro!" and then walked directly into a floor to ceiling mirror.

What do you think? I probably should add that I was 19 at the time where its legal to drink in the UK at it was around 1AM

[–] Flax_vert@feddit.uk 10 points 6 days ago (1 children)

I have done similar while sober. That's why I'm asking.

[–] steeznson@lemmy.world 8 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Ah that makes sense I thought you were implying I was a dumb arse. Which is also true but not strictly relevant here.

[–] Dalkor@lemmy.world 5 points 5 days ago

I've bumped into a mirror at a nightclub and apologized to myself. And then facepalmed harder than I ever have before.

[–] tetris11@lemmy.ml 43 points 6 days ago (2 children)

Anon used the word 'bro' when they should have used the word 'friend' and cupped the balls of their white shirt brother. Also, that's a t-shirt not a shirt, no wonder anon disappoints everyone

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 13 points 6 days ago (1 children)

It's very offensive when people try to talk to me without cupping my balls first. Politeness is dead!

[–] ace_of_based@sh.itjust.works 6 points 6 days ago (1 children)

You never needed a friend in me before. But now you come to me and you say "Empricorn, nice t-shirt." But you don't show me respect. You don't offer friendship. You didn't even think to cup my balls."

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 6 days ago (1 children)

"Gabagool!" Or something, idk. Sorry, I haven't watched The Godfather yet...

[–] ace_of_based@sh.itjust.works 2 points 5 days ago

It's not required watching but it's pretty good. Holds up better than a lot of old films! If you like part I, part II is great (actually my favorite).

Fun fact: when you see Marlon Brando 'searching for words' in a scene, its not always "acting". He often forgot his lines and had crew members standing around with lines written on signs to help him remember

T-shirts are a sub-set of Shirts in general.

If I had to go out drinking with my coworkers and boss as part of my job like they do in Japan then I would end myself

[–] sugar_in_your_tea@sh.itjust.works 12 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Same. I don't drink, so it'll suck even more than usual.

[–] smee@poeng.link 8 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Welcome to hell.

https://thenorwayguide.com/julebord/

The problem with the Norwegian julebord tradition is that it is not only used for eating nice Christmas food, but it’s also just as common to use it as an excuse to get very drunk.

Coworkers getting very drunk together also tends to be a bad idea in general, and the julebord tradition is known to have many controversies. Not only is it the most likely place for someone to hook up with a coworker, but it’s also known to be a breeding ground for workplace conflicts and sexual harassment.

My list of places to never work is growing.

I've been to a couple bars with coworkers, but it was fine since we all needed to drive home. I guess that's one positive of car culture here...

[–] smee@poeng.link 4 points 6 days ago (1 children)

Places I'll never work: Seedy bars, high-stress business jobs, Norway, parachute testing companies...

[–] SkaveRat@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 6 days ago* (last edited 6 days ago)

Found a lob listing that might interest you. They are looking for a bar manager at a new experimental 'sky-dive'-bar in norway
