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.

They mean opting out of overdraft protection. Banks typically allow you overdraft protection, where instead of denying your sale at point of sale, they'll pay it, charge you a fee, and let the transaction go through.

If you opt out of overdraft protection, it should instead deny the sale, and you don't get to buy whatever. At my bank, they do this and then charge an insufficient funds fee, which is the same as the overdraft fee. It's bullshit.
