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.

fake: 4chan poster has a husband

Yeah, you don't fuck with shit a person is that attached to because you think it "looks rough"

Asshole: no.

Misguided: yes.

His reaction isn’t unreasonable. Misplaced well intentioned actions likely will not end as intended. Ultimately, she didn’t get it. She misunderstood what he loved about the guitar.

I kind of have a hard time imagining such a thing being done with sincerely good intentions, how many people would really do that? Easy to imagine it as a way to exercise power over someone with a plausible pretense though.

A worn appearance is often desired on old guitars. In some cases, it can even increase its value.

That, and the OP probably did what would be considered finishing someone's puzzle for them.

Don't fuck with people's shit without asking wtf. Life isn't like TV, not every surprise is going to be appreciated.

anon: congratulations, you're being rescued

guitar: "..."

anon: please do not resist

Oof, this is a rough one. While I appreciate the gesture, that's a personal thing. That's like taking someone's favorite pair of jeans and getting them hemmed because they'd frayed at the heel. Sometimes the wear and tear is what we value.

Yep. Literally all anon had to do was talk to him about it first. Communication is so fucking important. I would know because a lack of it was what ended my almost decade long relationship. Talk to your fucking partners, even if it's uncomfortable in the moment. If you don't you will be MUCH more uncomfortable later when everything explodes.

God damn, yeah, you are unfortunately.

[–] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 5 points 2 hours ago

Yeah, absolutely. If you took something that I painted (I can't paint, fwiw) and had it touched up, fuck you.

[–] Dirk@lemmy.ml 6 points 2 hours ago

Short answer: yes.

Long answer: yes, but longer.

Yeah okay, how about I fixed your rounding error, huh? Huh?!

Flip a coin, you might get a positive or negative reaction depending on how you frame it.
