Anyone successfully try any Larry David stuff in real life?

I have blown off a few potential stop and chats. It was awkward for them but I didn't feel bad. However, my wife got angry over it each time.

I've done a number of the smaller Larry's, but my only big one was calling a person a pig parker. Go figure, the guy was French and didn't understand a word of it.

i dont think larry stuff would work in real life. people would think you were just a jerk and not really funny.

Maybe some minor things, particularly calling out people's BS. Often time it doesn't go over too well, but sometimes people should be told how ridiculous they are.

One time someone actually got onto me for "pig parking" although I was completely between the lines. I responded in a David-esque manner.

Wait until they get a load of me.

One time, at Coldstone Creamery, the lady in front of us (me and my husband) kept trying ALL the goddamn samples just like in the episode, The Ida Funkhouser Roadside Memorial. I was reminded of that scene so I began to basically quote LD. I even got a similar reaction from her and it played out almost exactly like the episode except she didn't just leave at the end and began to really scream at me.  Everyone seemed relieved when she finally left.

Not really "pig parking" per se, but rather a similar situation...

I absolutely hate it when somebody has to park right next to me in an empty row of parking spaces. I've actually confronted a few people about it, but nobody could give me a single straight answer as to why they do what they do.

I guess the only conclusion I can draw from these previous experiences is that they're trying to "hide" their newer looking vehicles beside mine, hoping that it'll thwart off potential thieves.

I just hope that, one of these days, nobody will try to attack me. It's not like I have a heart monitor on where I can simply rip the plugs off and pretend like I'm having a heart attack, LOL!

Although Larry has not done precisely this, the idea and inspiration came from him.

In some supermarkets, sometimes the lines of two cash registers that are facing each other merges into one line further back into the store between the isles. Eventually as people get closer to the actual cash registers, people tend to quite early pick one of the cash registers, long before it becomes obvious which will be faster. I tend to refuse to choose line unnecessarily early and just remain in the middle until it becomes obvious which line will be faster.

What is funny is that it neither slows nothing down nor makes it unfair, so it is not in anyway disrespectful, just really fair to be honest. I am just essentially guaranteed to select the fastest line. I may at times get service faster than someone who came to the lines before me, but that is not my fault. It's their mistake that they made a pre-mature line dedication. Next time they should learn to not dedicate themselves to a specific line before it is strictly necessary in order to not risk slowing the expediting down in any way or it becomes very obvious which line they should pick.

Anyway people that come behind me and then either encourages me to make a premature line dedication, which in reality is only a selfish way of giving themselves a fair but undeserved chance at getting expedited before me despite arriving later or outright simply try to skip in line in front of me to either cash registers (which will trigger an instant loud and distinct "Hey, why are you skipping in line? followed by me doing lot of articulation and pointing out how they are in the wrong) or even better the classical when the person behind me asks "Excuse me, which line are you in?" in which I answer "I am both lines as there is no need for me to decide prematurely which line I pick and as far as I recall you are behind me, don't you agree?" which amazingly surprisingly sometimes make them flat out skip in front of me with the argument "well I am going to pick this line" as if that was some sort legitimate argument for why they should suddenly be entitled to skip in front of me, in which case they unleash a Larry David hell they will not forget for a while.

It's amazing how people cannot agree on this logic and somehow think they are entitled a "fair" chance to get expedited before someone who has undoubtedly stood in line longer than them, thus forcing people in front of them to make premature line dedications. I then tell them that I do not subscribe to this rule of line lottery and instead respects that people that came to the lines before me are entitled service before me and people that came after me, are not entitled to get expedited before me.

The last thing I need in my day is abuse from an irate stranger, so no, I do not invite it.
