Northwestern University did not learn

I hate to play devil’s advocate here but I think the drop down list is obnoxious. Maybe they got a lot of angry calls, maybe they got a few and some jerk in the office overreacted. Why does everyone here assume they truly got so many angry calls?

Perhaps we could make our own drop down list of admission offices:

The snobby ones who never answer the phone. Ever.
The techno-dipsh@*ts whose voice mail system bounces you around, to hell and back, and never leaves you anywhere useful.
The idiots who have a campus mail box address on their website and no directions.
The troglodytes who have no water available for thirsty visitors.
The pond scum who lose your test scores and only find them after all the scholarship money has been given out.
The lemon-sucking trolls who accept you in person during an interview and then shred all your information so that you never hear from them again.
The flea brains who put you on a waiting list to a school you didn’t apply to.

Now, let’s say I put this on a spreadsheet, fill in the blanks, and distribute it all around my kid’s school. Obnoxious? Yes it is.
