BUSHWICK, BROOKLYN — Today in stupid people doing stupid things while high on Pokémon GO, Queens resident Evan Scribner tells the New York Post he got caught cheating by his current girlfriend when he captured a Pokémon character at his ex-girlfriend's apartment in Bushwick.

“She saw that I had caught a Pokémon while at my ex’s house,” Scribner tells the Post. “She found out last night at my house and hasn’t contacted me since then."

And if all of you have rendered yourselves single by the time Saturday, July 22, rolls around, perhaps you should all plan to meet at the official Pokémon Go bar crawl in Greenpoint, where you can find the perfect summer boo to enable your addiction until you've caught 'em all. (Or the city goes dark in one world-ending traffic-and-pedestrian jam. Whichever comes first.)
