Teacher: Please itemize your deductions while I deal with Mister Hamps, the class pet

[A class of shocked and crying kids look on in horror while trying to simultaneously do their taxes. The cries of the hamster off screen are cut off abruptly]

    Fun fact: if you’re self employed in the UK, you’ve been able to do your taxes online via a simple (ish) form on the HMRC website, but they’re in the process of phasing it out in favour of third-party proprietary software, so some people aren’t allowed to use the free web form anymore, and within two or three years, it’ll become totally unavailable. Everyone always loves it when the government finds things that Americans complain about and copies it here so we get to complain about it, too.
