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 used to work as a relay operator and I couldn't help myself from taking on the same accent as the voice side if they had a heavy accent.

Oof I still do this when I talk to someone subconsciously and had to remind myself not to do this.

I'm trying to figure out what a relay operator does.

Edit: ok, I guess you probably mean a telephone operator.

Relay is a service for the deaf and hard of hearing to make telephone calls to non-deaf people with their TTY through an operator that reads the text sent by one party to the other, and then types back what the voice party is saying to the TTY user.
