Sending Your Son A Care Package Full Of Trash He Forgot To Take Out Is A Real Dick Move

ABC News- Connor Cox’s mom is an expert at getting revenge. When Cox, who is a freshman at Westminster College in New Wilmington, Pennsylvania, thought he was opening up his usual care package from his mom, what he found inside instead was trash.

“[I said] ‘Did you send me the wrong package? Why did you send me this?'” Cox said.

“[She said,] ‘No, that’s the trash you were supposed to take out,'” he added, laughing.

I did three semesters away at school in Albany back in my heyday. Wasn’t too big of a fan. The drinking was fun, everyday life…not so much. The laundry situation wasn’t ideal- using the same washer and drier as a bunch of 17 and 18 year old savages usually ends poorly. The WiFi felt like I was pulling teeth, and I fully expected to hear the AOL dial-up sound any time I was using it.

But by far the worst was getting my tummy filled on a daily basis. College was a land in which dining hall food ruled the roost. That dining hall food coincidentally made McDonald’s look like Peter Luger’s. Easy Mac or Ramen was considered to be at least a 4-star meal therefore getting a care package was the best. This could shock you but my mom ruled the care package game. Candy and new shorts, Peach Snapple, gift cards to DQ, you know what I mean, the good shit.

So when you’re at college and excited when you get a package notification and it’s a box full of trash, that is, in one word, fucked. Fucked is the only word to possibly describe this disgusting act. It’s just downright mean. You know who would do something like that? John Doe because sending a care package full of trash should be added onto the 7 deadly sins. There are times and places for teaching your kid to clean up his Gushers wrappers, but away at college is not such place. The care package is a magical, majestic creature and should not be messed with in such ways.
