'Reserving' a parking slot

[Ry_Tower]

i experienced reserve parking, in sm north edsa, many many years ago, back when they still had open parking.
this lady just casually got off their car and walked over across the curb, to stand on the empty slot, in clear view of whoever was looking.
their car was about fourth in line, while i had just got in and about to prowl the area for empty slot. i think, only a half-handful of empty slots was visible... in fact, that was the only empty slot i could readily espy, it being just a few cars away from the entrance.
"madam, please move over. i am taking this slot."
she pointed to her car, still outside.
"i don't care! nauna ako! hindi ito Simbahan! hindi ito cinehan! out!"
she grudgingly outed.

May reserve parking sa simbahan niyo doc? Or yung kay Father na slot yan?

no need to reserve the slot for Father.
"paqlaging nakaparada."
tinutubuan na nga nang togue sa ilalim.
heh heh.

minsan naisip ko... sino ba talaga may kasalanan ng mga nagreserve ng parking slot...

if the slot is available for free... like sa park or sa mga resto - then first come first serve...
kapag may parking boy ba yung resto tapos hinarang nya ng chair, ginagawa ba nating viral yung parking boy? - usual case ito sa Timog/Tomas Morato na kailangan mo abutan yung parking boy para sayo yung slot na hinarang nya.

sa malls naman... dapat isara na nila yung parking kapag puno na. yes, sinasara naman nila yung parking, pero di ko maintindihan basis nila ng full parking. one time nasa Megamall ako and "closed yung parking kasi full na." nung pinapasok na ako, ang daming cars sa loob na naghahanap pa din ng parking. halos 45mins ako na paikot ikot... di ba pwedeng kung ilang cars lang ang lumabas yun lang din papapasukin nila

Sa ibang malls at establishment dito sa amin nagsasabi talaga guard kapag full parking na. Minomonitor nila. Sana nga ganun lahat pero madalas wala. Sa may parking fee lang talaga ata consistent na namomonitor if puno na kasi nga nagbabayad eh. May tracker sila ng pumasok at lumabas na.

itong Saturday lang... super daming lakad so decided to use my Vespa instead...

sa door pa lang papasok ng parking, a car wash boy was asking if aalis na ako and if he can reserve my parking slot. sabi ko, naka motor ako today kaya di ako makakatulong sa kanila.

when I reached my Vespa - 4th floor parking as puno na yung 2nd and 3rd levels, a lady went to me asking if aalis na ako, then he called her husband na doon na lang daw sila sa slot na aalisan ko... imagine, pati motorcycle parking naubos na!

Iba na talaga panahon, daming may sasakyan at lalo na motor. Ako nga parang gusto ko na din bumili ng motor ulit kasi hassle ng parking kung 4 wheels. Mas mabilis talaga gumalaw kapag motor lang lalo na kung short errands.

two-wheelers are inherently unstable, and offer practically zero protection during mis-happenings.

if i may,
a long queue to the parking facility is bad for business (of the stores).
"dun sa loob kayo magpa-ikot-ikot na parang langgam!"
heh heh.

naalala ko lang dati sa Singapore. before reaching Orchard Rd. or HarbourFront, may digital boards na saying kung ilang parking slots ang available per mall... so dun ka na mag-park kung saan madami pang slots.

dito sa atin, although nagsasara naman talaga sila ng parking kapag full na, once nakapasok ka na, ang dami palang cars na waiting.

tapos nakikipag unahan pa tayo sa car wash boys/girls

sana, before maisip ng Congress and MMDA na ipagbawal ang parking reservation... maisip nila i-require and establishments na sufficient ang parking space nila for guests...

naalala ko nung college may classmate ako na taga-DPWH father nya. may orange cone sya sa car... what if bumili din ako ng orange cone tapos reserve ko yung slot ko using that cone...

Sa ugaling pinoy, whatever law pa yan, may paraan palagi.
