Watch: A car was parked illegally. This sweeper taught him a lesson.

A hilarious video, shared by CCTV news, shows how a sweeper dealt with an illegally parked car -- one trash can at a time.

If you drive in the UAE, you can relate to the painful struggle of finding a parking spot, or worse, dealing with other people's wrong parking.
It's no different in China (or any other part of the world!) hence one man took it upon himself to teach the car owner a lesson. A hilarious video, shared by CCTV news, shows how a sweeper dealt with the situation -- one trash can at a time.
"Watch how a road sweeper dealt out his own version of "street justice" to punish an illegally parked car. Whether at hospitals, near schools and offices or outside popular restaurants and shopping malls - just about anywhere people congregate - parking has become a major aggravation of urban life in China. The country's car ownership is expanding by about 10% a year in recent years, even as the economy slows," said the description of the clip on YouTube.
Posted on December 18, the clip went viral with more than 43,000 views in a week.

What do you think would have happened when the driver arrived? Would he have knocked over every single trash can? Of course not. He would have just removed four from the back and reversed his car. But that's not the point.
