On February 8th, Twitter user @candinam wrote this sassy tweet that got a few re-tweets when it was first posted. Unfortunately, a user soon pointed out that the tweet seemed to have been plagiarized from a popular page called The Scribbled Stories, an account that posts crowd-sourced microtales.
This stolen tweet started gaining (albeit a little negative) attention and so much so that it now has 101,420 re-tweets! Daammn. Won’t be long before it beats SRK’s tweet for the number one spot on the list of most re-tweeted Indian tweets.
People were quick to point out that the tweet was stolen, but they were equally quick in turning the tweet into a hilarious joke format that is now going crazy viral on the web.
Check out the original tweet:
Spoke to my ex after 10 years. “Miss or Mrs.?” He asks
Dr. I said.

The tweet is making its way up the list of most retweeted Indian tweets of ALL TIME. Shah Rukh Khan holds the current record with his Zayn selfie.

The pin-pointing began when people found out the tweet was stolen:

Hey, fyi: this isn’t mine. I just thought it was clever and empowering. Didn’t meant to mislead anyone. https://t.co/WVwiucZHrl

But alas, Twitter never forgets:
@candinam except you were acting like it actually happened by saying “he was flabbergasted” and stuff… you were def trying to mislead
