On Sunday, pop sensation Joe Jonas found himself in a situation we've all dreaded: trying to parallel park while being watched. The awkward moment was immortalized in a TikTok video that shows Jonas maneuvering his G-Wagon into a tight spot. Set to the catchy tune of the Jonas Brothers' hit "Burnin’ Up," the 20-second clip quickly became a viral sensation.
The video, humorously captioned "I love New York because I’ve been watching Joe Jonas parallel park for the last 7 minutes," has already garnered nearly 10 million views. It's not clear whether Jonas was trying to squeeze into or out of the parking space, but either way, the struggle was apparent – and relatable.
“And I saw you watch and not help once 😞,” Jonas commented on the video, poking fun at his public parking ordeal.
Never one to shy away from self-deprecation, Jonas took the incident in stride. On Monday, he shared another video, this time playfully pretending to be kicked out of a store. "How the city been treating me today since the parallel parking video," he quipped, showing his good humor about the whole situation.
It's hard not to sympathize with Jonas. Parallel parking in Manhattan is no joke, especially when you're under the watchful eyes of the public and their smartphones. As fans continue to chuckle at the clip, one thing is clear: even celebrities have their off days.
