Whoever is running the Twitter at Georgia State University has an advanced degree in savage.

"Hope you have an umbrella," the school's tweet master posted in response to a student who asked if she was going to have to slog through the deluge.

Response from GSU: "IDK (I don't know) if you know this, but I don't decide to cancel classes... I just respond to your tweets."

Another tweeter posted, " Due to the amount of water and cars on the road I'm going to have to cancel class myself because I refuse to get splashed today."

GSU came back with a NeNe Leakes GIF with a hashtag that read simply: "Bye."

A little later on the account posted a sorry-if-anyone-was-offended apology.
