Lol - I know this is off topic but it reminded me of a fantastic story that surfaced here in the UK recently.
For the last 20 years a guy has been employed as the car park attendant at a council car park next to a popular zoo.
He turned up for work every day, 7 days a week and never took a day off except at annual times the zoo was closed.
He took the car parking fees from all of the cars & coaches that used the car park.
One day he didn't turn up, so someone at the zoo rang the council and told them he wasn't there & weren't they going to send someone else to
replace him.
The council guy rang them back later & said "we won't be sending anyone, it isn't our car park - it's yours."
Turns out the guy had just rolled up one day in an official looking uniform with signs etc & started charging people.
They reckon he made around £3 million
Nice!
