Frog catching at Pilcher park

Today wasn't the best day for me I was really looking forward to my annual frog-catching day where every year I go to Pilcher Park and catch maybe 3 frogs for my small pond or if the frogs survived the winter I just wont go and Id let them procreate but when I got there I barely filled my bucket and this lady maybe in her early 50s or late 40s was walking up to me furiously asking what exactly I was doing there (and when I first saw her by the river I already knew she was going to say something) I said oh well I'm just catching some frogs for my pond and then she said "OH well your not supposed to be doing that there's a sign that says so I'm with the forest preserve there arent many frogs left here " So I said oh well sorry I didn't know that ill just be on my way then and she said d you know of a play called Orleans park and I said no I don't she said there's tons of frogs there I just left I didn't really want to like yell and get angry since shes only trying to do her job and I didn't want to put that stereotype of teens always being entitled and snobby anytime someone tells them something they don't like so I left calling my dad for a ride home I counted 20 frogs before I left and I saw a turtle and found no sign saying that could anybody tell me where there are frogs that I can catch cause summer without frogs is a sad summer.

Sounds like you met Karen.

You played it the right way. Always be respectful. Avoid conflict at all cost. You never know what kind of nut you are interacting with.
