Before Ian Poulter teed off at the PGA Championship in Valhalla on Friday, he took to Twitter to share his anger with British Airways over what can only be described as a “first world problem” by the majority of society:
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.

Amazing how @British_Airways have downgraded a full fare ticket when you buy 6 seats together in 1 booking. Just doesn't seem right.

He’s right, you guys…making a mother spend 10 hours with her four children without a nanny just DOESN’T SEEM RIGHT. Then again, I guess we shouldn’t be surprised that a guy who uses this as his Twitter avatar would have his fair share of first world problems:
As you can imagine, Poulter received quite a bit of criticism from his 1.7 million followers as a result of his whining:
Think you guys are missing the point buy 6 seats at full fare. @British_Airways downgrade because they can. #Tossers #MyViolinWorksFine

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.

When the heat got too hot, Poulter decided it was time to log off and head back to golf.
Time to concentrate on the @USPGA. Last thought @British_Airways are crap. End of story….. Treat people like rubbish at every level.
