Fun fact: a Canadian man named John Mcue became so frustrated with the potholes in Nova Scotia that he began filling them himself with a sign that read I filled the potholes pay me instead of your taxes John got the idea to begin filling potholes when he was out on a drive with his mother and they hit a large pothole so John grabbed a snow shovel and began collecting gravel from the side of the road and flinging it from a distance into the potholes on the highway he then waited for a car to pass and tamp the gravel down and then he would throw another scoop in the hole drivers were thrilled stopping to give John coffee's cash and joints as a thank you for his hard work but the police were not so impressed first they told him he was impeding traffic and then they said it was dangerous for him to be so close to the highway also telling him it's a criminal offense to alter public roadways but John didn't care and he was back the following day to finish the work he had started when asked what he would do with the money drivers had given him he said he was starting a new job out west and would use the money to cover travel and living expenses he then changed his mind and said "I'm not gonna to lie I'm probably gonna buy weed with it"
