Speaker 1 (00:00):
B ninety three. How far would you go for a
good parking spot? I'm telling you, in a time of need,
you would do a lot. I feel like now I'm
not talking anything illegal, right, yeah, like there were no
like elbows thrown right, No.
Speaker 2 (00:15):
No, I feel like people are more aggressive in cars,
so I don't mess around with that too much. Yeah,
I don't mess around with that too much. However, I
will do a lot for a good parking spot.
Speaker 3 (00:27):
And this is reach.
Speaker 4 (00:28):
How far will you go? Mike?
Speaker 3 (00:30):
In Grand Haven? Right now? It is it is Coast
Guard Fast Week.
Speaker 2 (00:33):
And if you are from West Michigan or Michigan at all,
you know that this week brings a lot of tourism.
A lot of people from hot A State to Grand
Haven love that. That's a beautiful thing. What that means, though,
is you had better get to the beach early. You
had better get there early, and you have to scout
and wait. You have to put in work for a
parking spot. Yeah, you have to. And I'm not saying
(00:56):
this was the right thing to do. But there's a
little spot that isn't at the state Park. It's like
I think it's by noos, I'd say, but it's it's
that little parking spot right there and that side of
the beach, those of you who know Grand Haven is
more like for the people who bring their dogs and
people who like the families, because.
Speaker 4 (01:15):
It's oh yeah, I know where you're talking abou Yeah.
Speaker 3 (01:17):
Yeah, yeah, not the party spot right by the Yeah yeah.
It's way down kind of at.
Speaker 4 (01:22):
The end, and so kind of a hike where you
need to go.
Speaker 2 (01:26):
No no, no, no, it's you just walk right there. But
if I wanted to go to like Coast Guard Festival,
yes it is a hike.
Speaker 3 (01:32):
Yeah yeah. So we are, we're going.
Speaker 2 (01:35):
To to like parking and I'm like, this spot right here,
this is going to be the best spot for the beach.
So we pull in and there is a car parked
sideways trying to hold two spots for somebody. Well okay, yes,
I know, but like I don't need to engage that either.
I don't need to I could just clearly if I
(01:57):
stay in this situation, it's going to lead to something.
Speaker 3 (02:00):
The doubts.
Speaker 2 (02:00):
So I pull up and just wait and I do
like a parking lot chicken with this person, and it's
like who's going to back down first?
Speaker 3 (02:09):
Because that person whoever's going to pull in is.
Speaker 2 (02:11):
Not going to get into that spot because I've decided,
and I think others try to do the same thing,
because people were like, you do that thing where you
circle the lot a little bit, but this is a
small lot, so like there's you circle, You're just in
the same section.
Speaker 1 (02:25):
Okay, here's a good question that I want to get
people's feedback on. Okay, should you be able to save
a spot for somebody who isn't there yet?
Speaker 2 (02:34):
I don't know. I've bet on both ends. I bet
on both. I like I get what they were trying
to do. Like if if if we're at like a
family function and I know my people are right behind,
like two cars behind me, I might have to check
my tires real quick.
Speaker 1 (02:48):
Should you be able to save a parking spot for
somebody who isn't there yet? Or like, what is the

Speaker 4 (06:30):
Parking sometimes you get, lucky, yeah and sometimes you.

enough you could find a. Spot it just might not
be where you want it to. Be if you want
those hidden, gems like by the park that's like across
the street from like the main, strip or Or noos
has that little little parking, lot but it's like perfect
for families with dogs and or pets and families with
kids where you don't want to be condensed in the,
(06:54):
busy busy in the.
Speaker 1 (06:55):
Middle all, yeah, yeah how far would you go yeah
to get a good parking? Spot six one six two
four to two ninety three ninety.
Speaker 2 (07:05):

us one of us give.
Speaker 4 (07:09):

ninety three morning. Show what's your name away?
Speaker 5 (07:18):
From I'm emily From.
Speaker 2 (07:19):
Vicksburg all, Right, emily how long can you hold the
parking spot?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
For, Well i've held it for about maybe five minutes
for another coworker of mine and then got profane things
yelled at me from a man trying to go get
breakfast at the restaurant next.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Door, oh so what do you do with that? That
did you leave or did you?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Go?
Speaker 6 (07:36):
No, sorry well he screamed at me really gross, things
and THEN i hollowed back just a little BECAUSE i
didn't want to lose my. Job and then he just
kind of drove, off and because my coworker was right
behind him waiting to pull into that spot because they
were repaving half.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Of the parking, lot oh, geez.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
And like weeklean, houses so we weren't even going to
be there that. Long we were there to just load
up and then, Leave so he could have just waited
five more minutes to get ourselves and then he could
have had, It but instead he chose to yell gross.
Thing see that's the.
Speaker 2 (08:01):
Line that's the. Line i'm A i'll wave in a
car with windows rolled. Up i'll Be i'll do the come,
on come on Like i'll do. That but the line
Is i'm. Not i'm, not especially IF i got kids
in the. Car i'm not yelling anything at anybody because
you just never, know you know WHAT i.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
MEAN i feel like the time limit is how we
sort of like gauge, this like you got someone coming
there right around the. Corner, okay but they're like fifteen
twenty minutes. AWAY i don't think that should be. ALLOWED
i don't think you should be able to hold a
parking spot for more than.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
A couple of.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
MINUTES i don't, know because there is that moment where, you're,
well you can both feel that it's been too, long,
right you both can feel, that all, right you're you're
doing you're you're holding this for way too. Long but
then do you do that thing where you you, go,
Hey i'm holding it for so and so they're right
around the, corner blah blah.
Speaker 3 (08:48):
Blah does it matter at that?

able to hold a spot for somebody who's, like, oh

a family.
Speaker 2 (09:09):
MEMBER i, Mean i've been on both ends of. This
i've been on That i've held a spot, before BUT

it if somebody pulls up and you, see like you

Speaker 2 (07:19):
Vicksburg all, Right, emily how long can you hold the
parking spot?
Speaker 6 (07:22):
For, Well i've held it for about maybe five minutes
for another coworker of mine and then got profane things
yelled at me from a man trying to go get
breakfast at the restaurant next.
Speaker 3 (07:32):
Door, oh so what do you do with that? That
did you leave or did you?
Speaker 2 (07:35):
Go?
Speaker 6 (07:36):
No, sorry well he screamed at me really gross, things
and THEN i hollowed back just a little BECAUSE i
didn't want to lose my. Job and then he just
kind of drove, off and because my coworker was right
behind him waiting to pull into that spot because they
were repaving half.
Speaker 5 (07:48):
Of the parking, lot oh, geez.
Speaker 6 (07:50):
And like weeklean, houses so we weren't even going to
be there that. Long we were there to just load

five more minutes to get ourselves and then he could
have had, It but instead he chose to yell gross.

car with windows rolled. Up i'll Be i'll do the come,
on come on Like i'll do. That but the line
Is i'm. Not i'm, not especially IF i got kids
in the. Car i'm not yelling anything at anybody because
you just never, know you know WHAT i.
Speaker 1 (08:16):
MEAN i feel like the time limit is how we
sort of like gauge, this like you got someone coming
there right around the. Corner, okay but they're like fifteen
twenty minutes. AWAY i don't think that should be. ALLOWED
i don't think you should be able to hold a
parking spot for more than.
Speaker 3 (08:31):
A couple of.
Speaker 2 (08:31):
MINUTES i don't, know because there is that moment where, you're,
well you can both feel that it's been too, long,
right you both can feel, that all, right you're you're
doing you're you're holding this for way too. Long but
then do you do that thing where you you, go,
Hey i'm holding it for so and so they're right
around the, corner blah blah.

able to hold a spot for somebody who's, like, oh
