Añadido: 2026-05-14

[00:00:00]Here's something kind of ridiculous and really annoying. So, this guy has been awarded some money in court because he was unable to secure uh lounge chairs for his family while vacationing because people came and put their towels down and then would go back upstairs and go back to bed and not come down till 2:00 in the afternoon.

[00:00:23]>> And he's re and apparently this goes on all over the place on the train. Oh, so you all know about all that. Oh, I mean, what is it? What? What?

[00:00:32]>> So, let me ask you. So, if I quit the show and I leave a towel, >> I can just come back anytime I want or you're going to replace me.

[00:00:41]>> You can come back anytime that towel on my head?

[00:00:45]>> Heard about that?

[00:00:46]>> Yes, you did.

[00:00:47]>> I used I used to kind of do this on the metro in DC. I'd put my purse next to me and be like, "Oh, no. Someone's sitting there." And then I'd feel guilty like if there like you obviously get up if there's someone older than you that should be seated there, but you'd see people crowded and standing or like holding a child and then you're like, "Oh, fine. No one's I'm not actually saving this seat for anyone.

[00:01:04]>> I just wanted my space."

[00:01:06]>> The most annoying place is around a pool though or when you're at even a water park or something. All like you don't no one shows up. It's not like one person goes and says, "I'll take one for the team and here are the two seats I'm saving." You just see all these things and all day long you're like, "Where are they? Are they ever coming?"

[00:01:25]>> There's a 20 minute window. I think >> I could have been in and out. Is there, but I think like 20 minutes you can get up, you can get a beverage, you can reserve your stuff, but beyond that, you can't leave for 2 hours and get lunch and think your lounge chairs are going to be there.

[00:01:38]>> And I think if you show up, you should be able to replace yourself. So I I'm there and I'm going to serve time waiting. I can take one chair. If you're taking six, three people better show up to hold those seats. You only get one extra. Yes, >> that's a >> all revved up about it.

[00:01:51]>> I know.

[00:01:53]>> I've had to sit on cement with babies where you look around and all the t ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch ch are taken but there's not one human in them. But you strange you've heard people saving chairs.

[00:02:04]>> People do it at church. Church people.

[00:02:06]Yeah, but >> I don't think you can save seats at church.

[00:02:08]>> People do. But listen, >> here's the here's to me here's the biggest reason you don't want to do that >> is because you want people to be on time. You don't want them to start thinking that, oh, somebody's going to hold this for me and then you don't have to do you don't have to work on getting your behind out of there and get there on time. Don't do that. You know, and if you are at a place and and you see all these empty seats, I'm telling you now, if you come down, I'm going to be in your chair.

[00:02:38]>> Yeah.

[00:02:39]>> Because Yeah. I paid just like you paid.

[00:02:44]>> I think it's okay to move the towel.

[00:02:46]>> Oh, yeah. Put your, you know, cuz people put books there. Put a pocket book. Put that stuff right under there. I'll be just like, >> yeah, I think >> I think you can move it. I think you can move it.

[00:02:56]>> Yeah, you can move it.

[00:02:57]>> You're saving a chair and you come back and whoopy gold.

[00:02:59]>> I was going to say, >> whoopy, do you need take all my chairs?

[00:03:03]>> But it shouldn't be okay for anybody to do it. People, if you're at a thing, you should have the right the same rights as everybody else in that building or in that apartment complex. You should unless you're having a party and you let everyone know you're doing that then you can do it.

[00:03:18]>> I mean can how do how is it enforced?

[00:03:21]Like if somebody puts the towel there and then you move the towel down. Yeah. They have to force it.

[00:03:27]>> Oh yeah. People get in your face towels down they will >> Yeah. Really?

[00:03:32]>> Yeah.

[00:03:32]>> You will.

[00:03:33]>> You don't want to do that with us.

[00:03:34]>> Wow.

[00:03:35]>> Cuz we will hit back.
