Two minor mishaps occurred last week 😴

🔒 First, my scooter refused to unlock through the app. I had arrived at the train station to pick up some food and returned to the scooter, but the app couldn’t connect via Bluetooth. After clicking “Connect” repeatedly for a long time, I was forced to tie the scooter to a pole and head home by tram. I read some advice online and found out that the internal system reboots 24 hours after being locked. The next evening, I came back and grabbed it; this time, the scooter deigned to connect and unlock its wheels.

🍔 Second, I arrived at a Burger King on my scooter and swung my leg in the air as I approached the door. The cafe staff didn’t appreciate it and decided to give me a hard time. There was no one else around, but they must have noticed me from a window and thought I was damaging their fence. Even though I tried to explain that I hadn’t touched their fence, they kept arguing with me; after that, I said my goodbyes and left.

I think there were positive sides to both mishaps 🟢

🔒 Scooter lock: It’s a good thing this happened over the weekend rather than at a moment when I urgently needed to go somewhere for business. Now I know that electronic locks are unreliable, and I will only use a mechanical lock (a metal cable with a key) from now on.

🍔 Burger King pirouette: The upside here is that I obviously will never go to this cafe again, which means I’ll be spending less money on mediocre food. 👌
