Social media has become a big platform now, people do many businesses deals on social media like shopping, etc.
Most customers are online in places like Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram and can easily be reached with a simple post or private message. However, sometimes it makes trouble too.
The Amazing Troll-Man, a UK-based comedian also known as Wesley Metcalfe, loves arguing and messing with big companies.
His method is really funny: he has a Facebook account under the name ‘Customer Support.’ He visits the pages of various companies, changes their profile picture to match them, and proceeds to interact with customers in a hilariously funny and often rude way.
The customers, shocked by the cheek of Wesley’s ‘customer service,’ usually react with righteous outrage.
Bored Panda spoke to The Amazing Troll Man himself, and he told his whole story. “A few years ago I wrote a post that went viral,” he explained, gazing moodily into the distance whilst puffing on his pipe. “It was a satire post about an old schoolyard prank. Seeing so many people laugh at what I had written was a good feeling.”
“Then, a couple of years later, I bought a cucumber from a supermarket called Tesco here in the UK. On opening the cucumber I discovered a dead worm trapped inside the cellophane wrapper. I decided to write a jokey complaint to Tesco on Facebook.
At first, I got the standard responses from their marketing team so I kept pushing them until a guy called Rob jumped in to have a bit of banter with me. The post quickly went viral. Every publication in the UK gave it a mention and it reached RTL tv in Germany.
If you search William the Worm on Google you will see all the articles.”
“Once again it was a great feeling amusing so many people online. This was in 2016.”
“Fast forward to 2018 I suffered from a mental breakdown. I was hit with anxiety and depression. I had never felt so low in my life. It took me nearly a year to pick myself up. Everyone was so surprised to see the joker of the pack fall to his knees.”
Troll-Man had reached his low and just knew he had to start doing things he was passionate about to get himself back on his feet… one of those things was making people laugh. So he decided to become the ‘customer service.’
