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.

Every time I see this kind of post I just wish they would try to go to work in a +40 degree Celsius environment.

It must be nice to work in a place that won't mind if you arrive drenched in sweat.

Edit: I love the hive mind

Tbf you could just take a shower at workplace after the commute, assuming you have showers at work.

How many people actually have showers in their workplace?

[–] [email protected] 24 points 2 years ago

Probably more if cities were designed around bicycles in the way they currently are around cars.

Where I live, more and more. For this specific reason.

+the fact that some other people do Real Work^TM where you get dirty and shit and need to have shower before going home. Factories and shit.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Do factories have showers where you are? We’re expected to shower when we get home

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 years ago

Some factories are required to have at least emergency shower. Not that you want to take shower there regularly.

Well yeah though I don't to much of that, so the workplaces I know have them because of bikes.

I think even at the smallest company I've worked at, there was a shower in the building that people working at the companies there could use. First time I've really thought about it, but I guess it would be odd if a place didn't have at least one shower somewhere for the cyclists and runners. (I'm working in a British city for context)

[–] hemko 5 points 2 years ago

No idea, every place I've worked in at least.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 2 years ago

Pretty common to have at least one where I live, but it depends on which sector you work in for sure.

How many people actually have car storage(called parking spot by some idiot, although there are no trees) in their workplace?
