The orders were simple: Run out onto the road, glue yourself to the tarmac and stop drivers from getting through.
But for two climate activists in Germany, that plan didn't work out quite as they'd hoped because sub-zero temperatures stopped the glue from working properly in an embarrassing lack of foresight.
The 'Last Generation' activists, who were protesting against global warming, desperately poured a bucket of glue over each other before sitting stone-faced in the middle of the road in Munich this morning.
But the freezing temperature scuppered their plans and instead of being stuck to the road, the pair of protesters sat glumly amongst a pool of glue mixed with snow.
Police officers at the scene - realising that the pair were not going to be sticking around for long - dragged the protesters off the road.
'The gluing didn't work due to the weather,' the police told Bild newspaper.
Appearing to realise that their efforts had been in vain, one protester was seen looking down at his hands in apparent frustration while a pool of glue lay next to him.
The two activists, who were protesting for a speed limit on highways as well as for affordable public transport, had defied an order that banned climate protesters from blocking key roads and other areas in Munich.
The general order was imposed on Friday, a day after some activists glued themselves to the tarmac of Munich's airport and disrupted flights.
The ban, which lasts until January 8, is aimed at ensuring 'that the main routes for emergency and rescue vehicles in the city area are kept clear at all times and to avert possible harm... that could arise due to delays in emergency travel,' the city said in a statement.

Ryobi makes a decent nail gun. Try that climmunists.
Sometimes it is just nice to have a good old fashioned warm and fuzzy feel good story of epic fail of the day
Hammer and nails............I’m old fashioned..................
LOL! That is funny!
well, this is another fine mess you’ve gotten me into.
Let them glue themselves to anything they want to. Let them stay there and starve to death. If they block a road, run over them.
What Rush Limbaugh referred to as “the algore effect” LOL
Why on Earth would a ban on protesters intetionally blocking traffic be only temporary and for a specific cause?
Was it an oil-based glue?
They used up all the glue on purpose!
Appears they didn’t get a good grade in JH science.
🤔 How about the container the adhesive was in? 99.9% sure it was all derived from petroleum products.
If someone wants the definition of irony...
Lololol…you win the thread!!!
Hahahaha. The stunned bunny look on the woman’s face is hilarious.
Let a couple of these idiots die and this will stop.
WelL, if you want to fasten yourself to the road to make a statement, by gosh MAKE A STATEMENT! 🛣🔨❄😳
