Today, I was excited to hear that I received three of my grad school recommendations in the mail from a very busy professor. They need to be submitted sealed, and of course, my nosy mom decided to open them. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got a large envelope from a college I applied to earlier. My mom, expecting big news, made my family gather round as I opened it. It ended up being a letter of rejection from not just that school, but all three campuses of the state college. FML
Today, I was cleaning my father's study room and wondering why I did not receive my acceptance/rejection letter from a college I really wanted. I found the acceptance letter, on his desk, also approving of a full scholarship. The deadline to confirm was a month ago. FML
Today, I found out that my dad, thinking it was an advertisement, threw away a letter from the college I applied to. FML
Today, my mom called and told me I got accepted to my first-choice college. I got really excited and asked her to read me the letter. As she started to read it, she said, "Oops... uh, nevermind." FML
Today, my university professor asked us to submit anonymous course feedback. I wrote three paragraphs criticizing his lectures. Ten minutes later, I realized I'd left my full name at the bottom of the page. FML
Today, I got 3 different rejection letters mailed to me from the same college. FML
Today, I rushed to the post office to mail an important document for the study abroad program that I'd applied for, which was due in a few days. Just as the envelope slipped out of my hand and into the mail box, I caught a glimpse of the upper right corner where there was supposed to be a stamp. FML
Today, my mom asked me to take my dad's mail to him. The "mail" was divorce papers. FML
Today, my parents gave me a letter they'd forgotten about since late last year. In it was a $30,000 scholarship to a local master's program with an application due date of two weeks ago. FML
Today, my mother decided to "help me" by throwing out the stack of papers on my desk. Unfortunately, those were all my notes for my final exams. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

wow that sucks, hope you don't miss any important deadlines. You should definitely sit down and explain to your mom that if it doesn't say her name it's not for her

Dare I ask why the letters were mailed to YOU? Most letters of recommendation go directly to the school. If the professor is as busy as you say, you probably should have pre-addressed and stamped the envelopes for him/her.

Wait... a recommendation from a teacher to get INTO a college? If so, then those are supposed tone sent straight to the college (from the way I've understood it). Either way, everyone saying that's a federal offense, they're right! Turn your mom in to the cops, that'll teach her to not be an ass & read other people's mail.

Are we turning in a report to be graded? Everyone knows what the intended text is, you don't have to clarify! If the reader is unable to figure it out, they're a dumbass. If you are a such a grammar nazi, become a technical writer. Dork!

um, i dont think that he is correcting grammar so much as he is correcting logic. He thinks that most recommendations go straight to the college and not to the student trying to get in

This is what you get for living at home and letting your parents pay for school. They feel entitled.

As people have said, put them in new envelopes or talk to the professor. If your Mom keeps doing this sort of thing, just get a post box. It's not crazy expensive (certainly cheaper than moving out), and you get to take charge of that part of your life.
