Watch as these frustrated binmen block a car from moving by placing large silver bins around it.

What prompted their unusual behaviour? The driver’s chosen place of parking, which social media users say “obstructs the binmen's job when cars park right next to the bins.”

It is clear in the video that the driver could have parked their vehicle in the parking lot just meters away from where he had chosen to park.

Many social media users found the binmen’s little stunt humorous, but we are doubtful that the car’s owner will see it that way.

With more cars on the road than ever, and little parking spots to accommodate them, should one be forgiven for parking their car on the side of the road?
