A hilarious article to come from the robot poster of all users.

Someone should carry a cone in their bag, hire the robo-cab to take them as far away from HQ as they can and then cone them off. That would be even funnier to me.

Imagine having enough free time to make your hobby going around ruining others days over pointless shit like this.

Those cars cause a lot of shit apparently. Worst of all they are a liability around emergency vehicles. If this is a way of protesting that, I get it.

This is a way of protesting that.

Did you read the article? It's not a hobby, it's a protest and they're not a new group either.

Imagine having any political opinion and expressing it, instead of posting crap on social media.

These people should get their priorities straight /s
