Open thread: What has gotten this garbage man so angry?

What on earth could possibly possess a binman to tear up a mailbox and then throw it into the back of a garbage truck?

WE’RE NOT ENTIRELY sure this video is even real in the first place – but if it hasn’t been staged, and its events actually happened, we’re a bit perplexed.

You may have seen this video floating around YouTube and Facebook in the last couple of days: it’s a binman, apparently in the middle of doing his usual rounds, getting pretty angry at… something.

Not only does he tear apart the household bin (literally) by smashing it against the side of the refuse truck, but he then chucks the postbox in after it for good measure.

Now, we have to admit to some scepticism about the video – why would a householder just happen to have a camera pointing at their garbage on a particular morning? Perhaps the householder is the binman – but you never know…
