TIL 22-yr-old Canadian man John McCue took it upon himself to fill potholes with the sign: "I filled the potholes. Pay me instead of your taxes." Drivers gave him cash, coffee and joints for filling in potholes.

About 12 years ago in Bluefield, WV we had a guy get fed up with the town refusing to fill potholes, so he did it himself.

The town arrested him and removed the gravel he had filled the potholes in with.

They never did repair the potholes.
