BMW driver sparks parents' wrath after wedging child under massive flat screen TV

Electrical goods are often pain in the backside to transport.

They're bulky and pricey, meaning they take up loads of space - but you also have to handle them carefully.

Still, at least most retailers now offer delivery - it's just a shame one driver chose to not opt for this.

Instead, they chose to pop their new flat screen in the back of the car. Nothing wrong with this, in theory - except a photo of the BMW driver is now circulating online because of one almost-hidden detail.

Also in the back is a small child, who had been almost completely concealed by the box.

"When you drive a BMW, but can't afford the $50 delivery," the original post read.

It took other members of the Facebook page Downshift  a little while to see what was meant by the post, until someone else cleared the confusion up and pointed out that a child could be seen peeping from under the box.

:Heroes, the lot of you. Look under the TV," Downshift captioned the post yesterday.

"This is the kind of person who needs a reminder that their kid is in the car," one person fumed.

"This happens all the time, I feel real bad for the kids," another man added.

"Worst I've seen was a family loading a fridge in the back of their van, they had three kids that had to squeeze between the fridge and the side of the van...guess the fridge was more important than the kids."

"That's why they can afford a BMW," another commented. "Money not wasted."
