Sometimes there is no legal parking and the "car captain" will drop people off and come back after a set period of time and pick people up. He drives around the whole time but gets to "count the time."
One brother had a drinking problem and did not come back on time....he had grabbed a beer at a nearby bar. I knew of a pioneer brother who handed out tracts to people getting on the ski lift and talked to the person riding up with him (captive audience). He could have fun and count his time.
