put the cat in the bin

An expression used to signify a harmful action without proper reason.

Derived from the incident in Coventry, England, in which Mary Bale placed a cat in a wheelie bin seemingly with no motivation.
I totally shouldn't have hit out at my buddy like that. I really put the cat in the bin with that one..
