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.

Home depot is the most depressing of hardware stores. I wouldn't want to work there even if what this fake ass post says is true.
Also $17/hr is shit pay. You can't even rent an apartment at $17/hr.
Not all entry-level jobs start you at a "living wage." When I was in middle school, delivering newspapers, I didn't make enough to rent an apartment either. In college, I had roommates because none of us earned enough to rent a place by ourselves. So climb off your arrogant and ignorant high-horse.
Also, for the lazy ass dude who started this, work hard and don't be a leach. If you think you can do better than where you are now, move on to that place and stop gaslighting everyone.
I'm renting an apartment at $16 move to a better area.
Depends on your area.
Edit: working a full 40hr/wk at $17/hr can afford rent up to ~$880/mo.
Thats something like 50 percent of your pay in my area.
$17/hr can afford ~$880/mo. rent. Not impossible, especially with a roommate or domestic partner.
You forgot about other things like food, probably a car, phone bill.
I did not. I calculated rent as 30% of income, the level generally considered affordable. Admittedly it is pre-tax income, so arguably the number is a bit lower, but it's a start.
