Just give me some tools

At some level, this place drives me absolutely crazy. Everything is broken -- and I'm getting high blood pressure.
This is my closet door -- the door latch is backwards, so it won't close (but opens easily!) This is a first for me.
My kitchen light has 4 shades, 5 sockets and 1 bulb. Still can't see anything at night.
My shower gives me water, or hot, but not both (though after 7 days I've managed a workaround).
Electricity is often off.
A whole street full of street lights and poles have been stolen (no kidding!)
We have yet to travel home without a traffic jam -- really a large truck broken down in the middle of the road (one lane in each direction), usually on the uphill section, and someone under truck with some makeshift tools. One dump truck with a large trailer was there for 2 full days.
The pastors home (apparently one of the nicer homes), has most the ceiling missing, eaves are down, several windows have only shards left.

The thing that mystifies me is that everyone expects things not to work. They really have low "environment" expectation -- there's no real expecation that things work. And Malawians are absolute experts at work-arounds and making do (that transmission repair of a few days ago is complete and the truck is running).. If you want to see how well people can adapt and adjust, come here.
Maybe having things work is a luxury.
Or maybe this is more about me than Malawi.

--- Addendum
Flat tires are common here (we've had 4 while we were here). Today (Sunday) we got a flat tire a million miles from anywhere. And we're just outside CAA territory. Changing the tire should not have been a problem except that the wheel nut wrench (you know, the one with the jack and spare tire) had 4-sizes -- all wrong. How is that even possible!!! How can you think that in an environment where you'll change a tire at least once or twice a week, its OK to carry the wrong wrench???
(we flagged down one of those mini-busses and bought his wrench ... He was happy for a little extra money. No idea if he'll regret it when he gets a flat).
