A United Kingdom man has become an instant internet sensation after he was captured cooking off in a dustbin full of water. The man’s bizarre actions were brought on by the sudden heat wave that has sent temperatures soaring in England. A hilarious clip shows the man casually having a cocktail as he cools down in what we can only hope is a well-cleaned bin.

Meanwhile, many of the people who have viewed the clip and are experiencing the heat can definitely relate to what the man is going through.

Man cools down in dustbin as UK heatwave continues

YouTuber and popular TikToker Hamad Khan has left his followers all sorts of entertained after sharing a clip of a man cooling down in his wheelie bin.

Taking to TikTok, Hamad, with the handle @thehalalham, explained that he was driving to view a home in Milton Keynes on Tuesday afternoon when he spotted the man casually chilling in his bin in the front yard next to the house Hamad was viewing.

In Hamad’s now-viral video, the man can be seen wearing sunglasses while enjoying a drink.

A little hot tempered?

Responding to the content creator’s question about the weather, the man replied:

“Yeah, I’m enjoying it. Am I not allowed?” to which Hamad responded: “Yeah, but you’re in the bin.”

The man appeared to become angry at being questioned and proceeded to challenge camera wielding Hamad to a fight.

“Listen, knobhead, if I want to have a swim in my own bin, on the hottest day that we have ever had in England, then I am entitled to do so,” the man shouted before falling over and having water from the bin splashed all over him.
