Sure, those little yellow Minions from 'Despicable Me' are popular, but not so much when they cause traffic to be backed up. 

Commuters in Dublin, Ireland on Monday had to deal with an unexpected road block after a 40-foot inflatable Minion got loose from its restraints and blew into the middle of the street, according to the Journal.ie.

"I'm not sure how it got loose, but I just saw it coming loose and flying across the road as we were driving," Erin Van Londen told Journal.ie. "It's been very windy in the area."

 Fortunately no one was hurt but one car did lose a side view mirror after the giant Minion knocked it off, reports the Huffington Post

The Minion was reportedly being used at a local fair before going airborne and wreaking havoc on drivers. Authorities were called to deflate it and remove the Minion from the road.

Those Minions just can't stay out of trouble, can they?
