To be amazed that at the age of 39 people are still asking....

[listsandbudgets]

where I went to school!!

Just been out to dinner with DP and met a couple who initially seemed very pleasant. However after a bit Mrs. Pleasant stated grilling me about where I went to university (ok can just about live with that) and then demanded to know where I went to school! I was so surprised I told her only to be faced with "I've never heard of it".. appears she went to a very famous ladies college.

Why on earth did she want to know and AIBU to think that at 39 (she was 45!!) we should be beyond such enquiries.

Welshwabbit: That has happened to me as well. Funnily enough, in my experience, some of the nicest people I ever met in uni came from some really top notch posh private schools in Australia. It was the ones who went to the smaller church based grammar schools that would get, and still do get, all snooty and hung up on which school others went to (as if anyone has much influence over where their parents send them at that age).
