Based off of this!:

(2:13:19 PM) Ingrid: I need to write a letter to my mom.
(2:13:36 PM) Ingrid: Dear mom,
STOP OPENING AND READING MY FUCKING MAIL.
Your whatever,
Ingrid
(2:13:41 PM) Anna: D:
(2:14:42 PM) Ingrid: Noticed I got something from Easter Seals with the envelope already opened.
(2:15:04 PM) Ingrid: Probably wondered if it was fucking spam or whatever.
(2:15:16 PM) Ingrid: Guess what mom: I CAN HANDLE SPAM MAIL ON MY OWN
(2:15:27 PM) Ingrid: AND EVEN WHEN IT'S NOT SPAM MAIL I CAN HANDLE IT ON MY OWN
(2:15:43 PM) Ingrid: JESUS
(2:15:56 PM) Ingrid: Sometimes I just want to scream at her for being such a cuntburger
(2:16:03 PM) Anna: Yeah. D:
(2:16:21 PM) Ingrid: I mean, do I go out of my way to read HER mail? FUCK NO. It's her mail!
(2:16:37 PM) Ingrid: I might be curious, but I'm not going to open it.
(2:16:46 PM) Anna: Yeah!
(2:17:02 PM) Ingrid: Agh..... *raeg*
(2:17:53 PM) Anna: Perfectly understandable rage.

No. Because it's adressed to me for a reason. If it was anything interesting to my parents, it would be adressed to them instead.

Of course, in return, I don't open any of their mail either.

They always give my mail to me without opening it. Not that I get much mail anyway.

Occasionally- this is why I discontinued getting paper statements from the bank, among other things.

But yeah, they do the same thing with spam mail, which is kind of baffling.

Yes - And it's extremely annoying. Especially when I get private mail like bank statements.

Ah screw it I'm hyped for this game.
I don't get mail except from the bank, which they already manage to begin with. (So it's not like I can buy stuff without telling them or something.)

If I ever got mail from something else, I guess they'd find it weird and take note of who's it from what was is it about, but I doubt they'd open it.

Just tell your mom that she's committing a felony by opening another's mail and she'll likely knock that off really quick.

My parents haven't read my mail ever, to my knowledge.

Sometimes my dad opens my mail by mistake, same goes the other way around, as we share one of our names, which is not even the name I use and it's a bit frustrating when they mark the mails to that name. :/

I can already predict how my parents would respond to me saying something like that- probably something around the lines of "get your own address" or something.

Whenever I get mail or a package, they don't open it, but they hound me to open it in front of them for every little thing.

Yes.

Considering little to none of it is really "personal" mail and almost all of it is college-related, though, I don't mind. When it's more personal mail, she doesn't.

e: so sometimes I guess. my wording is bad today.

Nope. Of course, I also don't live anywhere remotely close to where my parents live

They occasionally get stuff for me sent to them, though. Mostly old school stuff. Usually my mom will forward it to me in that case.

No, except if I'm away for longer periods of time.

But then I've either told them to first, or they ask.

Then again, I don't live at home anymore so heh.

Usually I have stuff mailed to my dorm, so it's not even an issue. If there's ever anything mailed to my parents' house addressed to me it just gets tossed on my desk/bed to find it whenever I'm around.

Only my bank statements, so they don't matter too much.

I open my parents mail, but only if I'm expecting a game and I have their permission.

They open the mail I have told them it is ok to open, such as my credit card bills, so i know how much I need to pay. When I do my weekly phone call, they also will ask me if the mail they have which looks urgent is also ok to open.

But otherwise, no.
