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 just went out with the smokers when they were taking smoke breaks. I only ever got shit about it from two bosses and everyone else backed me up so they dropped the issue.

I'm pretty sure that legally they can't discriminate against you and deny you extra breaks just for not smoking, because otherwise there they are saying that smokers need (as in absolutely require) more breaks than non-smokers, and therefore saying that smokers are protected class, which obviously they're not and gets into a whole quagmire.

I would love someone to try and litigate this.
