Leave it to the Twitterverse to randomly deliver a good laugh. While the Golden State Warriors and Cleveland Cavaliers went head to head on the basketball court for Game 2 of the NBA Finals, America’s favorite unemployed former The Blaze commentator Tomi Lahren was busy voicing her frustration with a booked domestic flight via Alaska Airline.
Like any other human being displeased with a service, Lahren took to her Twitter account to put the airline on blast, tweeting with three hand clap emojis, “Most dysfunctional airline award goes to @AlaskaAir.”
Most dysfunctional airline award goes to @AlaskaAir ??????

Naturally, a customer service representative named “Ryan” responded to Tomi’s tweet, asking her to elaborate on the incident that prompted her tweet. The part that stood out was the fact that “Ryan” misspelled her first name and addressed her as “Tami.”
Hi Tami, sorry for any troubles. Can you DM some details on where you experience went south? -Ryan https://t.co/t4ooDR29zz

The wonderful world of Twitter caught wind of the “shade,” “clap back” (basically any other description besides “mistake” or “typo”) and went in with chuckle-worthy reactions to both “Tami” and Alaska Airlines’ tweets.
Tomi "I'd like to speak to the manager" Lahren ???

Another social media customer service rep named “Andre” emerged and tried to redeem the travel company’s error, but the Twitterverse wasn’t trying to hear it.
Shut up Andre…GIVE US RYAN!
