Forgetting Where I Parked My Car

I was in a city, although the location was not specified. It was at night, like around 3 in the morning. I was at a lounge and my friend was working the night shift. I talked with him and his colleague for a bit and then I got tired, so I said goodnight to them and left. I walked the streets at night alone trying to find my car. I walk to the right several blocks and could not find my car. I mistakened my car for another red one, but that wasn’t it. I continued to walk a bit further than expected until I approached a bridge. Once I approached the bridge, I knew that I gone too far. So I backtracked. I started walking the other way. I took out my car keys from my purse and started pressing the unlock button. No sound. I then tried to open the Maps app from my phone to locate my parked car, and the map wasn’t loading. I kept pressing the unlock button, hoping that I would find my car. I was this close to calling my friend to take me home and spend the night over his house. After a few more attempts, I clicked the unlock button again heard a beep. That was my car, parallel parked on the right side of the street. I jaywalked the street and got into the car, calling my mom to say that I was on my way home. I didn’t tell my mom about me forgetting where I parked the car, or else she would’ve been extremely worried. Luckily, everything turned out fine.
