There’s a controversial quote around that goes something like, “The customer is always right.” As an ex-employee of food service, I’m inclined most times to believe that that is false. However, I’m sure many members of the student body here at The University of Tulsa would agree that, since we are paying customers of this establishment, we have the right to complain.
I brought up the aforementioned quote about customers because it came to my attention earlier this week (in my daily perusal of the wonderful social media app Yik Yak) that a specific user, along with 19 others, don’t like how often my co-writers and I complain about this university. In response, I will make this week’s edition of The Weekly Yak 100% complaint-free! After all, I do enjoy listening to, and quite honestly welcome, feedback, because it is a two-way street and I love writing about the weird things that are said behind the false security of anonymity.
With that being said, here are the top 10 Yik Yak posts of the week. As always, we refrain from reusing posts that were posted in previous weeks, and ones in which graphics provide the majority of the context for the posts. Any complaints from others do not represent the thoughts of me, a writer of The Collegian.
“BOTH OF MY PROFS CANCELLED THEIR CLASSES TODAY!!! PERHAPS ALL IS NOT LOST!!! BILLIONS WILL FLOURISH!!! ART WILL ABOUND!!! SUFFERING WILL CEASE!!!” – Tulsa
“I think all the frats, especially ka, need a seminar on how to treat women” – Tulsa
“Brad if you want us to drink tomorrow to break this world record at least cancel classes on Friday” – Tulsa

Everyone was so great on the yikity-yakity this week! Keep it up. There was the perfect blend of sarcasm and ironic complaining about our university. As always, we love dogs and drama, but we aren’t the biggest fans of unnecessary information. Here are my favorite posts from this week as well, because I love to support small businesses:
“RA just knocked on my door saying it smells like weed around my room. Who would smoke in this building??? I am disgusted and will find this criminal! Don’t worry RA, I’m on the case” – Tulsa
“All it takes is a ‘replied to your story’ to ruin your life” – Tulsa
“ ‘I’m an empath’ – the worst person you have ever met” – Tulsa
“Just passed a tour guide talking about how our student success coaches know what they’re doing. Stop lying girl” – Tulsa
And, last but not least, the one that put me in a great mood for this week’s edition of The Weekly Yak:
“Do people who write the collegian do anything other than complain?” – Tulsa
Do you want your Yaks to be featured next week on The Collegian? Be funny. Make Hannah laugh. That rarely happens.
