It still pisses me off.

Awww crap. I'm sorry you had such an awful experience. Given the importance of the FAFSA in making college accessible to people, it's infuriating that they would have been so dismissive and rude. Not to mention that they're being fucking paid to work a position where they have to help people.
Ugh, I would have ragequit too cuz I am FURIOUS for you right now.
The FAFSA can be extremely intimidating (less-so now, thank goodness) and I know it gave me a lot of anxiety whenever it came time to fill it out.
And yeah... public settings always == germs, so no thanks lol. I wash my hands after handling light switches and water faucets in my own gd room (but its mostly cuz I haven't really broken the place in yet
)
Hope everyone is having an okay-ish week. :)
