Published by Business Insider on Fri, 20 Oct 2017


A Twitter user tweeted that he had seen a professor grading tests on his flight. He shared that a student names Tawian Jones had failed.The internet began reaching out to try and find Taiwan.Several users stepped forward claiming to be him, but it's not clear who is real, if any.It's never easy finding out you failed a test, but most of us have gone through that agonizing moment privately when a professor hands us back the test. But one student allegedly found out with the whole internet watching.On Thursday, Twitter user and visual designer Roy Handy,who tweets as @Old_Orleans, tweeted that he was on a flight sitting next to a professor from Howard University in Washington D.C. During the flight, Handy said the professor spent the entire time grading papers and that he got to see some firsthand, which was bad news for one particular student.This professor graded tests next to me the whole flight. If there's a Taiwan Jones at Howard, boy you failed the fuck out ya midterm '' roy (@Old_Orleans) October 19, 2017"This professor graded tests next to me the whole flight," he tweeted. "If there's a Taiwan Jones at Howard, boy you failed the f--- out ya midterm."The tweet quickly racked up tens of thousands of retweets, and the internethad funwithit.

Taiwan Jones (@JonesTaiwan_) October 20, 2017"So... i just found out i failed my midterms but also went viral on the internet and i don't know how to feel..." one "Taiwan" under the name @JonesTaiwan_ tweeted.This "Taiwan" seems to have some proof, saying that his friend texted it to him.Ya my boi Moe sent me this and my heart straight dropped pic.twitter.com/RUNmy69Dul' Taiwan Jones (@JonesTaiwan_) October 20, 2017But according to screenshots, he had a different profile photo just a day before.Taiwan,hold on tight my boy pic.twitter.com/8TCDWreyAK' danie ' (@danietheguurl) October 20, 2017The other notable "Taiwan" went more viral, tweeting it under the name "@TaiwanJones_" His simple reply' "F---."fuck https://t.co/eedaUm7bFA' Taiwan Jones (@TaiwanJones_) October 20, 2017This racked up tens of thousands of retweets, but there's no real proof he's actually Taiwan.Prior to these tweets, this account tweeted mostly about FIFA, and tweeted in Italian many times.
