My broken buttons are on fire, aka Education makes you SMRT
Today's tale comes to us from the bad_service community. In short, jayphi77 posts a tale of woe about a local drycleaner who charged them "too much" for cleaning 12 shirts, especially since they came back, and I quote, "smelling of smoke and broken buttons". He/she/it writes a letter to said drycleaner, including a freaking long signature which appears to include every school they've ever attended. The drycleaner responds unfavorably in a letter back to the OP, commenting on their education. The commenters call shenanigans.

	I. Uh. Have no email signature. Does it make me more or less edumacated? (Reply to this)(Thread)

	I don't see the point of anything but my name, and possibly my position as president of the theatre society if it's about theatre society stuff. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	I use the same account for business and personal emails, so I just type the appropriate bits depending on the circumstances. Not like my beta wants to know my office's opening hours. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Ha - I do. My work account one has the basic stuff like job title/contact information. My personal one has my... email? In case hitting "reply" doesn't work? (I guess it made more sense when I had a webpage to list there, too) (Reply to this)(Parent)

	I sign my emails with my first name. If I'm being really formal (writing to deans, people I don't know or people I need to do something for me), I'll add my last name. I suppose this is a dead giveaway that I never passed second grade. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	My email signature is my name, followed by a squiggly line, Bruce Springsteen lyrics, and and John Constantine quote. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Ooh, which Constantine quote? (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I don't believe in ghosts, though I've met a few in my time." At least I think he said it. (Reply to this)(Parent)

	Neither do I. I only occasionally sign my name when it's a message to work or school (which may be redundant, since I use my school email for, you know, school emails, and it's possible my name is attached to that anyway). (Reply to this)(Parent)
