Speaker 1 (00:00):
You're listening to the Jonesy and demand a Podcastay.

Speaker 2 (00:03):
Physically reserving a cas spot with your own person, your
human self.

Speaker 3 (00:10):
Reserving a spot without a car pretty much, but using
yourself to stand there and say, sorry, I'm bagging this spot.
Can you do that?

Speaker 2 (00:16):
I say, no, Dice. I've got a mate, he's a
trade He's got witches hats in his ute and he
puts them down. And in Australia we respect the power
of the witches.

Speaker 3 (00:25):
We would rather respect the bit of plastic than a
human body.

Speaker 2 (00:28):
It speaks volumes, doesn't it.

Speaker 3 (00:29):
That's because you can't yell at a witch's hat. Someone
who said it's an Australian, an Australian mate, what the
witch's hat?

Speaker 2 (00:35):
Or was standing there?

Speaker 3 (00:36):
Standing there as a person? You can't do it. It
takes a lot of guts to do it.

Speaker 2 (00:39):
More I've thought about it, the more I think you can't.

Speaker 3 (00:42):
Is it entrepreneurial or is it just playing? No way?
Physically reserving a car spot. Does it past the pub test?

Speaker 4 (00:48):
I absolutely do not think it passes the pub test.
It's got a be a lowest form of car part
bad behavior. No, I'm not a fan.

Speaker 1 (00:56):
Just holds up the flow of traffic, and I don't
think Josy way it should be. It absolutely does not.
If it's over about a minute, you can get someone
to guess out to get to the park if you're
right next to it, to help pull in. But if
there's so many people around looking for parts, you can't
spend over sixty seconds physically reserving one. Waiting for your

(01:19):
car will arise, in.

Speaker 4 (01:20):
My mind, is probably nothing more on Australian. Really reserving
a spot for someone who hasn't worked hard enough to
drive around and look for a spot. So I've done
the work to be driving around and around in circles
and there's a spot available and there's a person standing there.
I'd been trying to claim that spot as my own
as quickly as possible.

Speaker 5 (01:37):
No, you cannot do that. Technically it's probably illegal to
stand in the spot, but it's also kind of addiculus.

Speaker 2 (01:45):
There you go, done Australia.

Speaker 3 (01:48):
It's interesting what we call an Australian is Asia Australian.
Because you've done hard work driving.

Speaker 2 (01:53):
Around, running over a pedestrian who's standing in the spot,
that's Australia.

Speaker 4 (01:56):
That's fine, that's fine.
