Nice: the most disastrous vacation ever comes back to haunt me one last time

[pheelin_eerie]

So not long ago I received une convocation to go to the Angers police station. There were no details, it just said I had a rendez-vous on a certain day and that I had better show up

Wow, that sucks. And doesn't surprise me in the least. It made me think of a considerably less traumatic, but still dang disturbing when you don't know the rules, thing that happened when I was living in Angers.

I had gone to a supermarché, Casino, I think, and I saw something very neat that I couldn't buy. It was an end table that had chess squares and really big chess pieces to go with it. I had nowhere to put it, much less a way to get home if I did, but it made me happy. So I set up the pieces to match a chess game I was currently playing, and took a photo to send to my chess buddy. As I was leaving the store, I was stopped by a security guard who demanded to know if I had taken a picture inside the store. "Il est interdite!" he informed me. I told him, entirely bewildered, that I was sorry and didn't know. Rather than just sternly telling me not to do it again and letting me go, he got on a walkie-talkie and informed someone that he had a girl here who had taken a photo inside the store, and what should he do with her? At this point, I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to explain to Yves that I've just gotten arrested for taking a picture. After several more minutes, the person on the other end of the walkie finally told him to let me go.
