A delivery courier duo was seen throwing parcels on the ground, drawing criticism and anger online.
In an Instagram video posted on Oct. 22 by @sgfollowsall, the two couriers were filmed standing next to a van, with a huge pile of parcels strewn on the road.
They were dressed in red, white, and grey uniforms.
Both appeared to be carrying a handful of small parcels in their hands, skimming through the label on each parcel before throwing them on the ground.
The courier on the left flung a few parcels several metres away.
After going through each handful of parcels, the two would retrieve more from the pile, and repeat the process.
The courier on the right later grew visibly agitated and his actions became increasingly forceful.
He raised a parcel above his head and hurled it at the ground.
Their voices were also raised in seeming frustration.
Disapproval
Their actions elicited anger and criticism from netizens.
Some users speculated that they seemed to be looking for a specific parcel, and that a parcel might have went missing.
Others pointed out that they were not carelessly handling the items, but rather deliberately using force.
A few expressed their sympathies, acknowledging that while delivery work could be tiring, it did not excuse their actions.
Mothership has attempted to reach out to the courier company for comment.
