You know this is all so weird to me, we in Greece sure have people like them around but they are so rare that they get lost in the noise of the DIY people. I mean we even have a dedicated word for hacking things to work "pateda" :P

And if someone have a flat tire and don't know how to change it, most likely will call a friend or just plain stop some other driver around to help like "lol wtf I'm not calling the road assistance on that".

I'm not doing everything myself but I can't get my mind around of getting a professional to do some very basic things. But I have heard from my electrician that there are people out there that will call him to change a burnt light or just plug the TV antenna...
