TIFU by thinking I was getting pulled over by an ambulance and blocking it from getting to an emergency

I got back late last night from Europe and I’m still super jet lagged. This morning on my way to work I saw flashing lights behind me. I thought it was a cop car pulling me over since I was speeding, so I pulled over in the middle of the road. It was a tight one way with cars parked on both sides, so there was no room. I sat there for a minute or two until I saw a man exit the car. I thought it was a cop until he came to my window and screamed at me to move. I saw that it was a paramedic. I felt so dumb.

I blame a combination of jet lag and the fact that the cop cars that had pulled me over in Europe were big vans so the shape of the ambulance in my rear view did not seem out of place. It also probably would have helped if I hadn’t been wearing noise canceling headphones— it took me too long to realize the vibrations I was feeling in my car were from the ambulance’s horn.

TL;DR: I thought an ambulance was a cop car pulling me over and I blocked it.

You're a moron. Driving with headphones is illegal.

Even if it was police pulling you over you pull off to the side of the road you don’t stop in the middle of the street and block everything.

You didn't F up....you are a silly ignorant person who put someone else's life in jeopardy. You need to not be on the roads.

You got pulled over enough times in Europe to get used to the police vans? You were wearing noise cancelling headphones while driving? You stopped in the middle of the freaking road??

You really need to take driving lessons. You are a danger to yourself and everyone around you on the road.

Everything else aside, even if it was a cop why the hell would you just stop in the middle of the road blocking traffic? I really hope this is just a rage bait post because I can't believe someone would be this bad of a driver.

Profile says it’s a “Pakistani Commune Account”….whatever that means.

I looked it up and apparently it is an open account nearly anyone can use to bypass region restrictions on reddit. Essentially burner accounts open to the public. No idea if that is really the case or not here though.
