Video: Larry David Gets Stuck in a Parking Garage, Acts Like Larry David
Stars—they're just like us: they get flustered when they can't figure out how to pay the thingamajig to get out of the parking garage.
But there's something especially funny about watching it happen to Larry David, who made a career out of getting annoyed by the minutiae of everyday life. He doesn't disappoint: he gets out of his car, yells that he's sorry to the line of cars behind him and shrugs dramatically.
The woman behind his Prius helps him figure it out, while a woman two cars back David captured the incident on video and sent it to TMZ.
The only thing that would have made this scenario more Curb Your Enthusiasm-esque is if David took a moment to talk to (or more likely, confront) the woman filming him, who first shouts out that she loves him and then mocks his frustration.
