This clip of a man being drop-kicked by a monkey is 15 seconds of infantile delight
If you thought it was bad living somewhere where the nuisance animals are pigeons or squirrels, imagine how much worse it must be to have this kind of monkey business to worry about.

We feel a little bad for laughing at that, but the guy was clearly not seriously hurt. Curator of funny animal videos, Paul Bronks, followed up his own post with this disclaimer.
As excuses go, this is pretty solid. The only problem is finding a monkey at 6:30 in the morning in Sheffield. They don't get up until at least 8:00.

We’d love to know the backstory behind this reaction from author Charlie Stross.
Can confirm, monkeys are assholes. https://t.co/Eb0gZCLGwQ

Perhaps it was something like this:
Reminds me of when I was about 8 at my grandparent's house in India, minding my own business, when a monkey decided to barge in, slap me across the face, and steal some food from the kitchen#truestory
