Obligatory didn't happen today.
Some time during covid, when the rules were loosening up a little, I found myself downloading and playing Pokémon GO again, because why not. I live in a small town, the kind where going by car takes the same amount of time as going by bike. So one day, my father asks me to pick up a prescription from basically the other side of town (~15 mins by bike). When walking out of the pharmacy, I take a look at Pokémon GO and see there's a raid about to start a 2 minute drive away from me. It's the opposite direction, but why the hell not?
So I start riding towards it. It's located at a roundabout near a primary school. Since I don't wanna waste too much time, I just take the fastest way possible. Now this is where I fuck up. For some reason I decided switching the side of the street takes too much time, so I ride on the left sidewalk for literally 200 meters. Mind you, there was nobody around. And, of course, the police has to drive by me at that exact moment.
Since they apparently have nothing better to do, they tell me to stop at the next bus stop which happens to be at the primary school. And, of course, the classes just ended so the bus stop is crawling with kids and some teachers. Unfortunately for me, I used to attend this primary school.
So there I stand, at the bus stop of my old school, with the police fining me for riding on the wrong side of the road, praying nobody recognizes me. I ended up paying some crap fine of 15€ or something. Worst thing? Those officers needed so much time to type in what they needed I ended up missing the raid.
If you happen to read this, I hope you guys step on Legos. A quick warning really would've been enough.
TL;DR Rode on the wrong side of the road on my way to a Pokémon GO raid, ended up paying a fine and missing the raid.
Edit: oh God, I'm sorry! Of course I meant RIDING MY BIKE not driving my car! Forgive my sleepy brain, lol.
