Have you ever had the urge to take passive-aggressive revenge against drivers who park their cars haphazardly?
A group of sanitation workers in China did just that recently when they saw a car parked on a pedestrian pavement.
Shanghaiist reported that after unsuccessfully attempting to call the driver to move his car, the workers decided to teach the driver a non-violent lesson: they arranged 16 trash cans around the badly-parked car.

The smelly trash cocoon was small punishment for the driver who ended up pushing the bins aside before driving away.
There’s no confirmation if the driver learned a lesson, but he or she will hopefully think twice before parking on a pavement next time.
In February this year, The Star reported that a lorry driver, whose path was blocked by many cars at a market in Taman Berjaya in Malaysia, rammed through to clear a path.
He damaged 18 vehicles in the process. Fortunately, there were no injuries reported.
The angry driver was nowhere to be found, although the lorry was found at a nearby banana plantation.

Road rage has also seemed to become an increasing problem in recent days. Remember the battle of bulldozers that took place in China in April this year?
According to Shanghaiist, the street brawl occurred because of a conflict between two construction companies. What ensued was a duel to rival any Michael Bay movie.

In June 2014, a driver in China reportedly tipped an illegally-parked Buick on its side as it was blocking his path on a one-way street.
The owner of the Buick arrived at the scene an hour later, only to see his car being towed away.
It was reported that the car was not damaged.
