I don't think that's entirely necessary, MothBalls. Gargamel didn't say the jobs were particularly important to him or that he needed them to get out of mom's basement. All he said was that it was frustrating. I don't know how old he is but it is pretty callous to accuse him of malingering when we don't know the situation. Maybe his dog doesn't escape regularly. Maybe he loves the dog more than he wants an easily replaceable job at a gas station or whatever.
That said, I'm not sure where he lives that people stick mail in car doors. Also, I think he needs to train his dog better, if it is in fact his dog and he does care for it. A well-trained dog will never run away when called. A really well-trained dog won't try to "get out" because it has no desire to do so. It has been trained to understand that it has a limited "jurisdiction", so to speak. Not harshly-trained, mind you, just in case anyone gets the impression.
All posited scenarios aside, it is not our place to judge someone's nature on the basis of a rant about things that happened to them in the real world where, as I'm sure we are all aware, stuff happens.
