Speaker 1: Do you know what I think we've lost the art
Speaker 1: of Yeah, the art of writing a complaint letter.
Speaker 2: Oh, you're such a Charen.
Speaker 1: I know I'm not a Karen, but I do take
Speaker 1: after Shirley Phillippy, my late nana. She used to love
Speaker 1: writing a letter to the editor. She'd write letters to
Speaker 1: the Mercury all the time, complaining about something that happened
Speaker 1: in the world.
Speaker 3: You're one of those people that just like doesn't write
Speaker 3: any good feedback, but like you'll write to a restaurant review.
Speaker 1: Or no, disagree. I'm all for good reviews, but I'm
Speaker 1: also all for bad reviews when it's like, you know,
Speaker 1: a metered response. The reason why we're talking about this
Speaker 1: is because there's been a debate that has been sparked
Speaker 1: across the internet over the last couple of days, and
Speaker 1: now a lot of these sort of leaving a note
Speaker 1: like you know, you're I'm angry about this. I'm going
Speaker 1: to leave a note or come back to parking or
Speaker 1: it comes back to cars. So here's the note. And
Speaker 1: tell me if you think that this is in fact
Speaker 1: or not in fact, polite.
Speaker 2: Lauri, you wrote this note.
Speaker 1: I did not write this note. No, No, this is
Speaker 1: just something that I found very interesting. Polite notice, would
Speaker 1: you kindly refrain from parking your vehicle outside my house
Speaker 1: us for days on end. A few hours or a
Speaker 1: day is acceptable. Although you are of course legally within
Speaker 1: your rights to park outside my home, please have some
Speaker 1: common courtesy and consideration and park on the opposite side
Speaker 1: of the road when there is space available. Thank you.
Speaker 1: So what is happening in this situation is the person
Speaker 1: is parking their car. There's no other houses on the
Speaker 1: opposite side of the road, but they've parked their car
Speaker 1: in front of this person's house, and they will leave
Speaker 1: it there for weeks on end, Like they're not using
Speaker 1: the car all the time, and they just leave it.
Speaker 1: We live in like the city, which I think when
Speaker 1: you live in the city, you don't really get the opportunity,
Speaker 1: like you're not really paying attention to who's parking in
Speaker 1: front of the house. But if you're in the suburbs,
Speaker 1: you know, if there is a car that's been left
Speaker 1: there for weeks on end.
Speaker 3: It doesn't matter where you are. You don't own the road.
Speaker 3: Anybody can park anywhere they want if it's a public
Speaker 3: parking area.
Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean it is public, but I mean it
Speaker 1: annoys you because you don't want to look at the
Speaker 1: same car every day.
Speaker 4: Sorry, you don't.
Speaker 3: Get that choice.
Speaker 1: Okay, what about if it's like a boat or a
Speaker 1: trailer that.
Speaker 2: Is different.
Speaker 1: They've got to be a limit.
Speaker 2: Yes, you can't leave your caravan. God, you're such a.
Speaker 4: Why tell me why not? If it's a public If
Speaker 4: it's public parking, you, as a taxpayer, pay for those roads.
Speaker 4: Tell me, tell me why you can't park there, because
Speaker 4: I can guarantee, mich if you could afford a boat,
Speaker 4: you'd want to park it.
Speaker 2: You're Rupert Murdock in this very moment. Thank you. If
Speaker 2: it is a street, if you are Trump, but I'm
Speaker 2: come on, I'm in the right. If the street is
Speaker 2: full of residence, If the street is full of residents, Brittany,
Speaker 2: the residents have a right to park outside their house.
Speaker 2: You should not take up three, four or five spots
Speaker 2: with your boat.
Speaker 1: Do you know what this reminds me of. It reminds
Speaker 1: me when you get on a plane and people get
Speaker 1: angry about the overhead baggage and people always want to
Speaker 1: put their bag above their seat, and if they get
Speaker 1: to their seat and it's full, people kick off.
Speaker 2: That annoys me too, because there's nothing worse than going
Speaker 2: up to your seat. Someone's got all their baby bags
Speaker 2: in there, so you've got to go halfway up the
Speaker 2: cockpit to put your bag.
Speaker 1: I totally agree. I'm saying this is the same situation,
Speaker 1: very different.
Speaker 3: I stretch, Laura Burn.
Speaker 2: Can I say something, girls, I had the opposite of
Speaker 2: this on the weekend at the front of your house, Brett.
Speaker 2: Parking is pretty hard in the city area, and I
Speaker 2: got to my car and there was a note on
Speaker 2: it that said, Hey, I'm struggling to find a park.
Speaker 2: I'm trying to visit my elderly nan. When you leave,
Speaker 2: can you text me? And I thought, is this a prank?
Speaker 2: Is this I don't know? So I text her I said, hey, leaving,
Speaker 2: not joking. Two minutes later, a car turns around, hiding
Speaker 2: from around the corner and goes, oh my god, thank you.
Speaker 2: I gave him my spot. She cried her eyes out
Speaker 2: and said I just could not get a park. Thank you.
Speaker 1: Well, that's that's a really nice one. I mean, I
Speaker 1: was talking about the complaint letters the left on cars,
Speaker 1: But that's a lovely one.
Speaker 4: Mitch.
Speaker 1: It's nice.
Speaker 3: What I mean, Well, just away from the complaints.
Speaker 2: It's nice to have it.
Speaker 3: It was nice to have a positivevent. Talking about positive vents,
Speaker 3: I need to talk to you about something that you
Speaker 3: did on the news a couple of months ago. I
Speaker 3: saw you make a news appearance.
Speaker 1: Mitch, Wait, what was this? What did I miss?
Speaker 2: I didn't even know, Laura, that I was on the news.
Speaker 1: You are pretty popular. I'm not surprised.
Speaker 2: No, I mean I I did something, but I didn't
Speaker 2: realize would be sent and put on the news. I
Speaker 2: wasn't aware that it wasn't live, it was recorded, and
Speaker 2: I've made it. I've made it full of myself.
Speaker 1: Laura.
Speaker 3: Wait, do you see the old Mitch saying I didn't
Speaker 3: even know I was on the news. When you see
Speaker 3: what he did, you'll know that he knew.
Speaker 2: I didn't.
Speaker 1: Okay, I can't wait to find out.
Speaker 2: Maybe I put a bit of powder on. I'll play
Speaker 2: the Javy audio too after this on the pickup
