Speaker 1 (00:00):
B naety three. It is the b nainety three Morning Show.
I'm Ali Max, I'm Mike. I feel like I am
way more likely to go and buy stuff at a
garage sale or a yard sale than I am to
have one myself.
Speaker 2 (00:13):
Same. I think I don't really have like.
Speaker 3 (00:15):
A good spot to do it. I'd have to do
it in the front yard.
Speaker 2 (00:18):
I think I got a good spot to do it.
Speaker 4 (00:21):
Yeah, I just don't have I would need somebody to
set it up for me.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
I don't want to do that.
Speaker 1 (00:26):
I do, however, have prime real estate. Yeah for your
yard sale sign.
Speaker 2 (00:32):
Same, I live the same.
Speaker 4 (00:34):
In fact, I just learned recently within the last I
want to say a week or two, that it is
such a good spot that my neighbors have now come
up to me and I guess they tried to get
a hold of me last weekend and the weekend before,
but I was just out of town and they left
a note. They said, Hey, we're gonna put a garage
sale sign in your yard. If you don't want to,
(00:55):
just text me and we'll remove it. It's not a
big deal. We tried to ask you, but you weren't here,
and I was like, oh, that's kind of cool. You
know what, I'm gonna let them keep it there.
Speaker 3 (01:02):
That's really nice that they gave you the heads up
and that they asked.
Speaker 2 (01:06):
I've never heard I've never heard of that before.
Speaker 4 (01:08):
I assume people just did it and you either just
ripped it out or or you left it there.
Speaker 1 (01:12):
I always wonder about the yard sale signs that you see,
because you could you don't just see them like on
the street or buy the house that's actually having the
yard sale. I mean sometimes you see these like several
streets over and I'm like, is there some sort of
deal that's happening here?
Speaker 3 (01:27):
Like did you ask those people?
Speaker 4 (01:29):
Well, what happened right after that, too, is that sign
went up and then six other ones went up around
it that had nothing to do with that sign that
did not ask yes, So they saw the opportunity.
Speaker 2 (01:41):
That's what happens.
Speaker 4 (01:42):
And I think that's how it happens, is one person
might ask, and then they see all these other people
do it.
Speaker 2 (01:47):
They're like, oh, I'm gonna do that too, and so
they So you don't.
Speaker 3 (01:49):
Have like an HOA in your neighborhood, do you?
Speaker 2 (01:52):
Oh?
Speaker 1 (01:52):
No, no? Because I would imagine that the hoas are
probably pretty strict about what signs you can have in
your yard or where you can have them in your
yard or you know.
Speaker 4 (02:01):
Yeah, I have a love hate relationship with hoa's. I
think I would love to have them for stuff it does, yeah,
for stuff like this, but like I think I probably
do things you know also that are like that wouldn't
go over with the HOA.
Speaker 3 (02:14):
So did you leave all the signs up that got
put it in your yard?
Speaker 4 (02:17):
I gave it twenty four hours, and then I was
just gonna rip them all down because I didn't remember
which one was the one that initially put her sign up, so.
Speaker 2 (02:24):
I gave it twenty So I basically said it was okay.
Speaker 4 (02:27):
That's and that's what drove me nuts, is like I
don't want to rip out the persons who said text
me if this is an issue, But I also don't
want to allow people just to put signs in my
because I clearly have a good spot, clearly have a
good spot for yard sales.
Speaker 1 (02:43):
I'm thinking there's some money to be made, Like, hey,
you want to put a sign up here, you need
to put your own sign up that says want to
put your yard sales sign here?
Speaker 2 (02:52):
Those billboards.
Speaker 3 (02:53):
Cont X, Mike, bring your check book.
Speaker 1 (02:57):
Hope you have venmo it's dollars a day.
Speaker 2 (03:01):
What is the etiquette there? What is that? Are you
supposed to ask?
Speaker 4 (03:05):
I don't know what if it's even that space outside
of the you know how there's a sidewalk, I don't
know what that space is called the side on the
other side of the sidewalk then yeah.
Speaker 3 (03:13):
Like in between the road and the sidewalk.
Speaker 4 (03:16):
Yeah, is that fair game or that? Because I have
to mow that, But I think it's technically.
Speaker 3 (03:21):
Owned by the city.
Speaker 4 (03:22):
I mean, I don't know. I genuinely don't know. Good morning,
Welcome to the B ninety three Morning Show.
Speaker 2 (03:26):
What's your name and where are you from?
Speaker 5 (03:28):
Rob?
Speaker 2 (03:28):
Rob? What is the zealand? All right?
Speaker 4 (03:31):
What's the garage sale etiquette sign? Or wait, hold on,
let me say that again. What's the garage sale sign etiquette?
Are you supposed to ask before you put them up?
Speaker 6 (03:41):
So I'm not sure on that, but I do know
that almost any single road in Ottawa camp whatever Alligan
is thirty three feet from the center line is not
owned by the property.
Speaker 5 (03:55):
It's owned by the county or the city or so technically,
don't have to ask to use that face.
Speaker 3 (04:01):
Okay.
Speaker 4 (04:03):
So the side on the other side of the sidewalk then,
is what you're saying.
Speaker 5 (04:07):
Right, So the side between the sidewalk and the road
is county owned.
Speaker 3 (04:11):
Well, then why do we mow that.
Speaker 2 (04:13):
I'm not mowing that exactly.
Speaker 5 (04:16):
Oh and then actually, even beyond the sidewalk is still
part of the county. County it Yeah, it's thirty three
feet from the center line on each road if you
go from the if you go from the center line,
go thirty three feet towards your house, and the county
(04:37):
owns that on both and.
Speaker 1 (04:40):
By the center line, you mean like the line that
divides the two lanes. Okay, that's like, okay, we got
to get.
Speaker 3 (04:48):
Our tape measures out.
Speaker 2 (04:49):
How I do that today?
Speaker 3 (04:50):
Now I'm even more mad. Thanks Rob, appreciate the in
both Yeah, bye bye.
Speaker 4 (04:58):
You see me in Hudsonville that I stop in traffic
because I'm measuring from one line to Yeah. Yeah, I've
been mowing way too much of my lawn. It turns
out what is.
Speaker 1 (05:08):
The garage sale sign etiquette? Mike had a sign pop
up in his yard. First one, okay, because there was
somebody that left.
Speaker 2 (05:15):
You a note and read Gaby, Yeah.
Speaker 3 (05:17):
You know, if you don't want this, we'll take it down.
Speaker 1 (05:19):
But then there were like three or four more that
popped up that didn't leave notes, which tells.
Speaker 2 (05:25):
Me lots of things. I must have a good spot
for those signs.
Speaker 3 (05:28):
That says why we can't have nice things?
Speaker 1 (05:30):
One person does it right, You guys know, I love
a rule and garage sale season. Yard sale season in
full swing right now. There are a ton of them
around the neighborhood right now.
Speaker 4 (05:40):
Yeah, I was at I was in Diego on Friday,
so I was by hes Lake and there is a
ton of them.
Speaker 2 (05:48):
On every corner there's yard sale signs.
Speaker 4 (05:51):
But I had one recently, probably about I don't know
two three weeks ago, I had a person one of
my neighbors leave a note in my on my door
and they were like, hey, you mind if I put
a yard sales sign up. I we we tried to
come over and ask you, but you weren't here. Here's
my number if you want just take it out. I'm like, oh,
that was kind of cool, super nice.
Speaker 2 (06:08):
Yeah. Yeah, So I was like, you know what, let's
just leave it there.
Speaker 4 (06:12):
Well, you leave one there and fourteen other pop up
that didn't ask your permission?
Speaker 3 (06:17):
Oh, is that where we're putting those okay.
Speaker 2 (06:19):
Cool cool cool cool cool cool cool cool.
Speaker 1 (06:22):
Which I think it's very polite of them to ask.
I also think that that's kind of the right way
to do it, even if maybe you don't need to,
which I don't know the rules on this, Like you know,
I love a rule.
Speaker 4 (06:34):
I'm okay with being flexible with rules, but like, yeah,
if you had the if you had.
Speaker 2 (06:40):
The the uh.
Speaker 4 (06:42):
The respect enough to come over and ask me to
do that, you bet you go ahead. But then what
that leads to is the fourteen other people doing it
that now I have to go which one of your
signs is yours and which one is the other people's
because I want to tear them out.
Speaker 3 (06:55):
I think there's an avenue to monetize this for you.
Speaker 2 (06:58):
You think so.
Speaker 1 (06:59):
I think you put your own sign up and you
say you're sign here like like.
Speaker 4 (07:03):
A dollar a day, like a billboard, like those billboards
that said you did you see this sign?
Speaker 2 (07:09):
This could be you.
Speaker 1 (07:12):
There's something we gotta put like a B ninety three
morning show sign at your yard, because if your yard
is the.
Speaker 4 (07:18):
Hot spot, man, it must be I didn't know this,
but it must be add.
Speaker 1 (07:22):
Us to your presets on the iHeartRadio app. I mean, like,
I'll make the sign. If you put it up in.
Speaker 2 (07:27):
Your yard, that's gonna it's gonna cost you.
Speaker 1 (07:29):
I'm not paying for it. We'll see if the company
will pay for it. Sure, But what are the rules
for putting signs up in other people's yards, your neighbors
because some people do just have that like primo spot.
I think I do where everybody coming into the neighborhood
or driving by is gonna see it.
Speaker 4 (07:44):
Well, what happened right after I moved in is it
used to be like a almost like a dead end area,
and then they built and then it goes now across
to like another whole neighborhood, so there's more cars driving
back there. Now it's more. Yeah, so I think it's
like a prime spot now. That is Welcome to the
B ninety three Morning Show. What's your name and where
are you're from?
Speaker 7 (08:03):
I'm Kirie from Hastings.
Speaker 2 (08:05):
All right, Carrie.
Speaker 4 (08:06):
What's the garage sale or yard sale sign etiquette?
Speaker 7 (08:10):
Yeah, the county or the city has a eavement that
they can go as far as like almost three feet
into your yard past the sidewalk.
Speaker 1 (08:20):
So anybody that wants to put what then why But
is that where it was, Mike, or was it in
your actual yard it.
Speaker 4 (08:27):
Was, so that you're talking about the side the other
side of the sidewalk right.
Speaker 7 (08:31):
Right from the from the from the road to into
your yard. County, the sidewalk and everything. The county and
the city have more rights than you do.
Speaker 4 (08:42):
They should mow my lawn first off, and then second
I think so technically this was probably on the fringe
of that then because it was in my yardyard, it
wasn't on the other side of the sidewalk, so probably
right on the edge there.
Speaker 2 (08:58):
But still an.
Speaker 7 (09:00):
About it being that it's in your yard, that's something
somebody should ask. I mean, yes, other side of the sidewalk.
They really don't have to.
Speaker 3 (09:10):
All right, thanks for the.
Speaker 2 (09:11):
Call, We appreciate it, Thank you.
Speaker 3 (09:13):
Bye.
Speaker 1 (09:14):
So what I'm hearing is that they do not have
to ask you permission if that's where they want to
put it, because technically it belongs to the county or
the city.
Speaker 2 (09:25):
On the other side of the sidewalk right right.
Speaker 1 (09:27):
But what I'm also hearing is that you because that
doesn't if they can put them there whenever they want.
Speaker 3 (09:35):
You can take them down whenever you want.
Speaker 2 (09:37):
Oh yeah, if.
Speaker 1 (09:37):
Anybody can do whatever they want with that space, that's
a lawless space.
Speaker 2 (09:42):
That's a lawless space.
Speaker 1 (09:44):
I'm not trying to like sabotage anyone's yard sale or
garage sale or whatever. But I'm just saying, like the
neighbor who wrote you a note and didn't like ask
for permission, yeah, but just kind of gave you a
heads up that that's the right thing to do.
Speaker 2 (09:58):
Yeah.
Speaker 4 (09:58):
I saw one for one of those what is it
called a graduation party, and I wanted to rip it
down because I'm like, nobody asked.
Speaker 2 (10:04):
To do this.
Speaker 4 (10:05):
But then I'm the jerk who ripped down the graduation party,
Like here's where the party is signed. I want to
be that guy, right, But again, why not ask? Why
not bring it up? A simple note? Like that lady
guy I don't know who it was, uh, left and
just said text me if this is an issue?
Speaker 3 (10:23):
What when did I become this way? But get off
my lawn, guy.
Speaker 5 (10:28):
I'm not trying.
Speaker 2 (10:29):
Yeah, I'm not trying to be there.
Speaker 1 (10:30):
Just sign in your yard like it's not hurting you,
it's not keeping you from doing any of my yard.
But the principle of like somebody was nice enough to
leave a note, and there were other people that didn't.
Speaker 3 (10:41):
Something about that just irks me well.
Speaker 4 (10:43):
And it also means because I wouldn't do that in
anybody else's like house in our neighborhood, because there are
not like in the location that I'm at. So then
it brings like I clearly have value in my corner.
Right that corner is clearly valuable.
Speaker 3 (10:57):
That's all I'm saying.
