Around 25 eco-yobs blocked traffic at St George's Circus in Southwark, South London, this morning, and some glued themselves to the tarmac.
One mum begged them to move so she could get her disabled daughter to school, pleading with them to "just move now".
A taxi driver also told them: "I need to make a living."
The stunt also delayed an ambulance that may have been needed in an emergency. More than a dozen buses were also held up.

And the group bragged about the disruption online, writing: "Surprise, we're at it again this morning."
Police arrived on the scene shortly after and took many of the protesters away in handcuffs. Officers arrested 20 people.
An activist also jumped on top of a police van near Downing Street today.
It comes during the group's 13th consecutive day of protests. More than 337 members have been arrested during them, the group said.

Two drivers also clashed at today's road block. One motorist pushed a protester before another shouted: “Don’t touch him. Leave him alone.
"What do you think you’re f***ing doing? Let the police deal with it?”
The first driver asked where the police were, but the other responded: “You can’t f***ing attack them like that. You can’t touch them. You can’t physically attack them. Stupid c***.”
The protesters insisted they are peaceful and highlighting a "serious problem".
On Tuesday protesters despicably blocked a sick baby from getting to hospital.
The eco-warriors refused to move despite a man telling them about the situation and begging them to move.
An ambulance was also forced to reverse and find another route when the protesters blocked a major junction in Knightsbridge, Central London.
In a statement released on Wednesday evening, Metropolitan Police commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said: "I am determined to keep London moving in the face of ongoing disruptive demonstrations.
"Every day more than 200 officers are policing these protests and over the last 11 days we have made 338 arrests.
"I am frustrated so many officers are being taken away from tackling issues that matter most to communities."
Just Stop Oil said: "The public are increasingly showing gratitude to Just Stop Oil supporters on the streets and this was evident today at St George's Circus. Understandably many people are also angry and frustrated in response to Just Stop Oil supporters blocking traffic.

"Normally such actions would be unacceptable but it's 2022 and millions of cold hungry families can't afford to pay their energy bills and millions of people worldwide have lost loved ones and the ability to provide for their families due to monsoons on steroids.
"We can't afford new oil and gas, it's going to take everything we love and need. It's going to take peace, justice and the rule of law and we have tried everything else to make our criminal Government act."
