I can’t imagine someone being more idiotic than this. Well I can, but whatever.
I’m guessing about a month or more ago, the University of California system mailed my mom the ELC (Education/Election…some word with an E, on a Local Context) code thing got mailed home to me. Basically, it guarantees you admittance into at least one UC and overall, it just gives you an edge over other applicants.
It was in this big, thick, envelope with the official UC letterhead on the envelope, and it was addressed to me. Clear as day. So what does my genius of a mom do? She opens my mail (which is illegal by the way), doesn’t understand a word of it, but still deems it unimportant, doesn’t tell me about it, then proceeds to stack it away under a crap load of others things.
The UC application deadline was on Nov. 30th. Just today, Dec. 13th, she pulls it out and asks me, what is this? And is it of any use? If not, I’m going to throw it away.
Naturally, I proceeded to get angry at her for not only opening my mail, which I have told her countless times not to do; it’s an invasion of privacy, and against the law. Plus, it would’ve helped quite a bit half a month ago when I was freaking out about it. And, she deemed it unimportant even when she couldn’t understand a single word of it. And her response? It was my fault. I should’ve asked her about it when I was applying, and I shouldn’t get mad at her. How was she supposed to know what it was after all? Now, this is the same person that always gets angry at me for asking for where stuff is, because why in the world would she know.
WTF moment? Yes indeed.
