My broken buttons are on fire, aka Education makes you SMRT

[info]llama_treats
Today's tale comes to us from the bad_service community. In short, [info]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.

Welcome to the "Least Intelligent Student Union in the Country"

[info]llama_treats
The student council at Carleton University in Ottawa has made a shocking discovery*: Cystic Fibrosis only affects white men, and is therefore not an "inclusive enough" disease to raise money for. Needless to say, this causes a leeeetle backlash.

In response, the person who originally made the motion to remove CF from their charity list is "currently not able to live happily." How sad. :(

ETA: *And by "shocking", I mean "completely false".
