Twitter wasn't the only place to air your expletive-filled grievances on Friday.
Even though all CPA exam score release dates are target dates (meaning shit can and does happen and the AICPA makes no promises you'll actually see your score on the date they announce), apparently a few people were upset by the delay in score releases last week. Really upset. Mad as hell and not going to take it anymore upset. And their anger was completely deserved, really, so we're not passing judgment there.
Naturally, social media is a great outlet for your frustration. By great I mean probably not the best if you're going to swear and throw a tantrum under your own name. We get it, you are upset. But next time, think before you type, or hit one of those fancy CPA exam forums with a funny screen name to complain maybe?

Who wants to bet behind the scenes Colin was screaming, cursing and making NASBA voodoo dolls? Nothing wrong with that.
Remember kids: while your rage may be warranted, outbursts are not.
