Yeah exactly - right now my van IS my work - I'm an independent delivery van guy. My degree really counts for a lot these days I'm taking the van to a garage tomorrow to see what the cost is going to be - then I'll decide whether the money I have to scrounge from someone will be spent on a new van or on fixing the old one

This happens litereally almost every day, and I am not exaggerating one bit. Well, they don't mow their lawn every day, but you get the gist of it.
That is hilarious. Completely tragic, and terribly irritating for the neighbours, but still perversely hilarious
