USA - This is certainly not what the homeowners had in mind when they decided not to pay the workers in their front garden. There are now consequences.

On TikTok , one of the hand-wavers, Jay, has now shared a video in which he shows his followers what happens when you upset him and his colleagues.

It shows him shouting at a person not to throw the door in his face.

Previously, he and his men had meticulously paved a client's driveway. Instead of being paid the agreed amount for the hard work, Jay was simply ignored.

And the American simply couldn't put up with that. Without further ado, he decided to take action.

"If you don't pay, then we'll just come back and get it back," Jay explained, as he first filmed the tidy front garden before turning to a machine that was in the process of simply ripping the paving stones out of the ground again - and thus undoing all the work.

The clip has since been viewed more than 400,000 times, with users laughing at the men's actions.

While some of them questioned whether it was okay to remove the stones - after all, they were on the homeowners' property - one police officer gave the all-clear in the comments section:

"As a police officer, I love operations like this. It's just too good to see the homeowner's face go from confident to dejected when I tell him the material is the contractor's property until paid in full."

It seems Jay and his men have no fear of consequences.
