New York-based stand-up comedian Zarna Garg just found herself in a bizarre and frustrating situation while touring Europe. At an Hermès store in Berlin, she found herself stuck in a bathroom. It then turned into an ordeal that lasted over an hour and required the intervention of local firefighters. Garg and her family captured the entire experience on video. It has since exploded on TikTok and Instagram, racking up over 4.8 million views in just one day.
In the footage, you can see store employees struggling with a sliding door that simply refused to budge. Right at the beginning, one of Garg’s companions asks a store employee if the door is fire code compliant, to which the employee simply shakes his head and says, “No.” Garg herself noted the irony of the situation while trapped inside, saying, “The sliding door just won’t open. It is very funny that a place that is so persnickety about perfection, this is happening there.”
