I once stopped at a bar near a large train station in my hometown, next to a music club, alternative vibe etc.

Originally, I went there to pee after arriving from a long train commute.

Then I had a drink outside, it was a summer evening. And there was a group of people in the outside area of the bar with a dog, a tame Labrador/Golden-Retriever-like dog.

It was a good friendly dog, but it had a toy.

I got to know the dog because I threw the toy after the dog came to my table and the owners were bored.

10 minutes later, I felt increasingly stressed by the dog "forcing" me to throw the toy again and again :D

And that outside area was near, while not directly next to, a large road, which also was my final straw to get rid of my new companion before I left – the dog was running after a rolling, misthrown toy and almost ran into a cyclist on a smaller, non-car pathway next to the seatings.

I was completely overwhelmed at first by that dog's firm insistence on me throwing that toy over and over, after I had done it one time.
