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 mean I tried calling the ISP in my teens. They wouldn't talk to me and left us without internet for months. They would only talk to the bill payer, who was in Afghanistan at the time.

You are calling about a billing issue when ypu are not the account holder. You were not old enough to negotiate a contract so they could not help you.

The OP in the green text was calling about stolen power. That shouldn't require talking to the account holder.

It wasn't a billing issue. It was being paid for but they broke it after digging up the road.

They still need an adult to negotiate with in that case. They wouldn't in the case of stolen power though the police would be the proper authority to contact

They didn't know I was in my teens, they just cared that I wasn't the bill payer.
