Woman fooled into comical row with Wetherspoons parody Twitter account over ‘too spicy’ korma
ONE woman was left red faced after starting a drawn-out argument about the spiciness of her Wetherspoons curry... with a parody account on Twitter.
Ella Coleman took to Twitter to complain about the spiciness of her pub lunch, but had no idea that she was arguing with a parody account throughout the entire exchange.
Much to the delight of other users, the woman started the row by tweeting a fake account with a convincing @WetherspoonsUK handle, saying: "I've got to say that today I'm disappointed.
"I have just tried your chicken korma and it was spicy! What's going on?"
However, her complaint was aimed at a joke account - which had absolutely nothing to do with the popular pub chain.
As other tweeters gleefully watched the drama unfold, a troll by the name of Tom shot back at the woman, pretending to be a customer service employee for Wetherspoons.
He replied on Thursday: "It's a curry, what are you talking about?"
As Ella tried to explain that she had expected her coconut-based dish to be a lot milder than it was, she was faced with a barrage of sassy responses pointing out that curries are meant to be spicy.
The ridiculous exchange ended up lasting for hours, and spanning over 20 tweets, with Ella completely unaware that she was arguing with a parody account the whole time.
Unsurprisingly, a few observers chipped in to mock Ella, with one going so far as to post a screenshot of the Wikipedia definition of a korma to prove that the dish was meant to be hot.
The entire exchange can be seen in full below, and it'll definitely make you think twice before you take your next culinary complaint to Twitter.
