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 don't think jewelry wearing is compatible with the Amish conception of propriety and modesty but I'm not going to say it wouldn't happen.

Really depends on the community, some have cars.

Also worth noting often if you see what looks like Amish folks driving a car, especially if its for personal errands they're often not Amish but Mennonite.

I very consistently manage to shop at the same time as one Mennonite family, so I'll see them getting groceries then load up their car and drive home
