Garbageman’s caught-on-video snowman attack gets him fired
- 3 years ago
A garbageman in England has been fired after getting caught on camera going kung fu on a family’s sidewalk snowman.
Footage shows the orange-uniformed trash worker delivering a half-dozen kicks — including some Bruce Lee-worthy roundhouses — to the 6-foot snowman, decapitating the construction and ultimately reducing it to half its former stature.
The snowman had been built by neighborhood kids in Hereford — a cathedral town near the Welsh border — after a recent blizzard, homeowner Sophie Taylor told .
Taylor said her 3-year-old son, Joseph, always waves to the trash haulers each week through the window.
And then “he goes and does that in front of his face,” she complained of the worker, who was fired by his company.
Joseph saw the destruction through the window and was reduced to tears, the mother told.
“On Tuesday he came running to me in tears sobbing, ‘The binman has broken my snowman’ and he started doing a kicking motion.”
Meanwhile, the so-called binman has told that he’ll build the kid another snowman, if the family wants, but that he is “not sorry.”
“I don’t think I have to say I’m sorry. His family knew it was not going to be there forever,” Callum Woodhouse, 19, told.
