Someone parked their motorbike in front of the door to my house (there are no yards in my country, your door is right up against the street), so I couldn't open the door or get in. The owner was nowhere to be found.
So of course they locked the steering, so you can't roll it out of the way. Being still on autopilot after driving through much traffic, I just sort of automatically tried to pick up the motorcycle and move it.
Surprisingly, I succeeded -- at least for a few seconds. After moving it only a meter or so, I lost my balance and fell over, with the motorbike landing on me. I earned some impressive bruises for my foolishness.
Thankfully though, this became the most interesting neighborhood gossip for some time, so the person responsible felt too ashamed to keep parking there.
