In answer to Colette’s question, I’ll post a few more dibs photos. I realized that perhaps one reason we haven’t posted about dibs before is because the whole thing is very annoying! But anyway, here are some more examples. This car is in presumably it’s own claimed spot, so the chair, Christmas wreath, flattened cardboard box, plastic crate and empty milk jug are thrown onto the snow. Or maybe some of that stuff is trash. Sometimes it’s hard to tell!
We had our dibs spot marked with two small white stools from Ikea the day that our spot was “taken.” You can see two chairs stacked in the foreground of this photo. After the whole incident, when I parked around the corner and declared myself car free for the rest of the week, I was so sick of the whole thing that I left our stools outside, and one subsequently disappeared. We have several though so we brought another out last night when we went out and wanted to, for the last time since this stuff is all melting, claim our spot.
Typical dibs stuff. Chairs, cardboard, kids toys, buckets. It’s really a kind of mass insanity!
Hope I didn’t force you out in the snow to take those pics! Seems like a necessary but annoying necessity! Colman and I were trying to think of a Sydney equivalent and we think it’s possibly when you put your picnic blanket down in a spot at an outdoor concert really early in the day and then someone moves it before you get back … It’s not such a daily annoyance though nor is it anything compared to shovelling snow!!
Oh not at all, I was cing back from coffee with the groves and noticed a lot of dibs altogether, very easy to snap a pic! The picnic blanket situation sounds very similar and I can see that being annoying too!
Meant to write walking back 🙂
I don’t know if it makes you feel any better, but Boston has gotten so much snow that it’s almost impossible to go anywhere there.
Boston really is being buried, and it sounds like they are getting more later this week!
