How An Amazon Mix-Up Led To The Greatest Twitter Rant Ever

One man's mistake is another man's #HamburgerEarmuffs

Josh Gates, host of the SyFy channel's Destination Truth ordered a T-shirt from Amazon. What he got instead was a pair of hamburger earmuffs.

Instead of sending me the #DestinationTruth t-shirt I ordered, @Amazon just shipped me hamburger earmuffs.

Was he disappointed by the mistake? Hell no.

#DestinationTruth t-shirt: $9.99. #HamburgerEarmuffs: $13.99. Who's laughing now, @Amazon?

Amazon tried to rectify the situation, but Josh was having none of it.

Amazon: We're happy to resend your order. ME: Sorry, I can't hear you through all the lettuce and cheese. #HamburgerEarmuffs

ME: I'm having a salad for lunch. HAMBURGER EARMUFFS: Shhhhh.
