Ian Poulter has a long history of getting into weird Twitter things. It’s really not a big deal. It’s 2014 and everyone is looking for an excuse to get riled up with the slightest provocation.
That doesn’t make it any less funny when it happens.
Check out this woe-is-me lament the golfer sent out earlier today.
Booked 6 business seats for my wife & nanny to fly home & @British_Airways downgrade my nanny so katie has no help for 10 hours with 4 kids.

“”Dear God! That is terrible news. As expected, many people jumped on Poulter’s back, saying this is a first-world problem. Poulter had a pretty solid rebuttal.
It looks like I’m being a stuck up nob. But what is wrong with getting what you have paid for. I ordered a steak. Sorry you can have tomato.

It’s an excellent point. If you ordered steak at a restaurant and the waiter brought out a tomato, you’d start looking for hidden cameras before strangling him with his own bow tie. That type of flagrant disrespect simply won’t stand.
Anyway, here’s hoping Poulter and his family pull through this dark time.
