You would have thought that it was the first time I'd ever stepped foot on a rapid!
Maybe I was excited because my Indians won....maybe the absolutely heavenly day pre-occupied my thoughts?
Just maybe my mind already fast forwarded ahead to the fantastic evening planned after the game?
There are dozens of reasons currently why my mind was somewhere else--however, I really needed it to be on the blue line train with me at that moment!
Either way, you WOULD have thought that I'd never seen a rapid let alone actually taken a ride from point A to point B.
I knew you needed exact change, and I had it but for some reason I did not get a round trip pass, just a one way --knowing full well I would need to return home!
Then I could not slide it properly to get through the gate.
But that's not the worst part of it.....on my return trip, I toured around Tower City for a few minutes popping in at some of the storefronts still open --Victoria Secret, the Cleveland store, just to take a looksy....
I proceeded down into the bowels of Tower City where the Rapid Tracks all converge.
Maybe the sun got to me but I attempted to get my ticket --was successful only to realize I had purchased a handicapped ticket. Omg, how the heck did that happen? I am a college graduate and HAVE been on the rapid before!
The lady was nice enough to let me in and told me how to properly buy a ticket next time.
So I kept looking at the signs, and was not connecting. Finally I realized I was on the Windermere line.
Never in my life have I ever done that!
So I proceeded back to catch the line I was really supposed to be on, bought a whole new ticket because I felt so bad about my incorrect purchase earlier and made it successfully home...holding my little Victoria Secret bag on my lap in a crowd of crazy baseball fans. A-W-K-W-A-R-D!
I even told the lady, it's like I've never ridden a rapid before, but really ma'am, I have! I'm not as stupid as I look right now!
