Furious T-Mobile customer smashes up entire store on camera

I can so relate. LOL

An angry T-Mobile customer in Manchester decided to smash up a company store over the weekend, much to the delight of passers-by, who filmed the odd outburst with glee as store employees called police.

The man, 42-year-old Jason Codner, was said to be enraged over the store’s failure to issue a refund he felt was owed.

Realizing they would not comply, he began calmly and methodically tearing the store apart, starting with the wall displays, then whole pieces of furniture, and finally began spraying a fire extinguisher, as if to merely cause additional cleanup work.

In a video published to youTube, Codner gives himself up peacefully and without incident once police arrive. A T-Mobile spokesperson told The Manchester Evening News that the store will reopen as soon as possible.

When they can't even afford to come up with their own advertising ideas or feed their spokesperson?

7. You are assuming that the clod on the rampage was correct.

Quite possibly he is also an ignorant moron with anger issues who never read his contract with the company and was due...nothing.

I'm willing to bet that this is exactly what happened.

But, appearances can be deceiving.












He could be a Liverpool fan.

This sort of childish behavior should be shunned. Even if he was entirely in the right, acting like a spoiled toddler is still unacceptable.
