LONDON -- When it comes to customer complaints, it's getting harder and harder to be creative.

There was that guy who tried to claim money from The National Lottery with a brilliantly fake scratch card, the man who photographed a loaf of crooked bread and posted it to Facebook, and even that bloke who somehow ended up in a three-hour rap battle with Pret A Manger after moaning about his crayfish flatbread.

Still, Jay Whalley of Preston, UK, may finally have outdone them.

"Just sent this ASOS to find out about my return," wrote Whalley on Facebook. "Thought I'd be creative instead of kicking off."

Here's his complaint -- beautifully styled on Eminem's "Stan" -- in full.

It's fair to say the post was a hit on Facebook.

Luckily, ASOS were more than happy to rise to the occasion.
