The clip, which appears to have been filmed on a phone held horizontally and with great confidence, shows a wheelie bin wearing sunglasses outside a neon car park while several pedestrians nod as if this is entirely normal.

Observers say the bin briefly rotates toward the camera, which experts have interpreted as either a dramatic reveal or the start of a strongly worded parking memo.

Fans immediately concluded the container is destined to become Vice City’s new Parking Director, a role said to involve cones, clamping, and judging people who reverse into space with unnecessary enthusiasm.

One witness claimed the bin was seen near a ticket machine and a ketchup-stained leaflet reading ‘Respect the kerb, mate’, though this has not been independently verified by any sane person.

As ever, the footage is almost certainly just a bin being a bin, but that has not stopped the internet appointing it to public office by lunchtime.
