A woman has been dubbed 'iconic' for her furious response to a colleague who told her she'd have to pay for the McDonald's meal of the person who gives her a lift to the fast food restaurant.

Social media star Joe, from the UK, who writes under the Twitter handle 'Jxesaid,' tweeted a text exchange between the woman and a colleague after she asked to be taken to the popular chain at lunch time.

He penned: 'The Polish girl on my team wanted taking to McDonald's for lunch and was told she’d be paying for the meal of whoever drives her.... went well.'

Joe then shared a screenshot of the woman's response where she launched into an angry tirade, even claiming she could 'starve to death' because of the extra expenditure.

It wasn't long before his amusing tweet went viral and received over one thousand likes.

The woman in question penned: 'Omg you know that I'm coming from Poland, it's such a poor country, we have only a few McDonald's in there, one is three hours drive from my hometown, when I was a child I had dreams about having a Happy Meal.'

She continued that she would watch TV adverts of 'b**** British kids enjoying a big juicy burger and salty fries'.

Adding to her rant, the lady explained to her colleague that she is an adult who works in 'this cave' in a bid to be able to afford 'one McDonald's every few months.'

She branded her colleague's behaviour 'disgusting' but agreed to pay, after saying that this meant she would be unable to buy 'bread or milk for three days' to pay for the extra meal

'The level of petty and over dramatic is what I aspire to achieve,' wrote one user,' while another wrote: 'Make this woman prime minister!'

A third added: 'I love her,' while another commented: 'She's an actual icon.'
