Let's face it, using social media to take the p*ss out of your parents is just part and parcel of being an obnoxious millennial.

Even though they may have taught you how to use a spoon and pull up your pants, they're unfortunately fair game when it comes to sarky Twitter quips or scathing Facebook statuses.

But it looks like one lad may think twice before deciding to shame his mum in public again if the results of his latest tweet are anything to go by.

"Worst thing about me mother not answering her phone, is her voicemail reminding me that she's on the absolute poverty Tesco Mobile," wrote Mr Joe Lee this weekend in a post which didn't go unnoticed by the good folk behind the network.

Responding to Joe's tweet, they came back with 'Nah the worst thing is your own mother blatantly ignoring your calls', and then. ladies, all hell broke loose.

Absolutely loving the fact Joe got schooled in front of millions, Twitter users wasted no time rubbing his nose in it…cos that's what people do online, right?

"This is it, the most lit tweet of the day. I might transfer to tesco mobile now," wrote one while another commented 'YOU'VE JUST BEEN ENDED BY TESCO MOBILE'.

Sick burn Joe, sick burn.
