(CNN) -- How badly did this guy want his money back? Bad enough to tear everything he could off the walls of this T-Mobile store in Manchester, England.

His name is Jason Codner, though on the facebook fan page admirers made he's just called "Angry T-Mobile Guy." "Everyone's favorite vigilante." But when police finally arrived and arrested him for criminal damage, his look said, "no need to get rough." after they put on the cuffs, he was nodding and smiling pleasantly.

As police broke up the crowd his amazing rampage had attracted and is still attracting on-line.

Considering how much we all love our phones, there sure is a lot of pent-up anger at phone companies.

But for every "I feel your pain, man"...someone else posted "this behavior is inexcusable."
"T-mobile said the customer wanted a refund." A refund that we were not able to give, as it was clearly outside of the stated terms and conditions. But some of the angry guy's fans said they sometimes felt like doing what he did.

One clever you-tuber played the "angry guy" video backwards and entitled it, "happy man attempts to repair damaged mobile phone shop." This tantrum now joins other memorable rampages. For instance, the russian doctor who rammed his car into showroom vehicle after vehicle after he got fed up with waiting for his car to be fixed. And the woman who stiff-armed bottles at a liquor store after she says the clerk used the phrase "you people" while refusing to let her use the rest room.

In this case, the T in T-mobile, stood for trashed. And their slogan, Life's for sharing. Well, this cell phone video is sure getting shared, along with comments like "Can you hear me now?"
