Emma Watson is one of the most popular and followed celebrities on social media, though she doesn't post very much.
When she does it's got to be something of a special occasion, like poking fun at herself after her car was reportedly towed away this week.
In case you hadn't caught it, the Daily Mail reported that her car got towed after being left parked in front of a driveway in Stratford-Upon-Avon earlier this week.

It ended up blocking some other cars from leaving, including one belonging to the owner of a nearby pizzeria, who found their car 'trapped' behind Watson.
Her car, a blue Audi S3, was hauled away on Tuesday (6 January) evening and Watson was left with some paperwork to recover it.
Fortunately she's managed to see the funny side of things as she ventured onto Twitter, where she had last posted in May 2023, to give herself a ribbing over the incident.
She joked that she was 'still searching for parking in Stratford upon Avon' followed by a laughing emoji.
Watson also took the time to recommend the performances of The Merchant of Venice currently being put on by the Royal Shakespeare Company.

The play takes Shakespeare's classic tale and sets it in 1936 Britain, with Shylock (Tracy-Ann Oberman) having to contend with Oswald Mosley and his attempts to promote fascism in the UK.
By Watson's account the play is well worth your time if you can get tickets, though obviously it would help if you can sort out a good spot for parking so your car isn't towed like hers.
Scrolling past the Blue Tick weirdos one can find plenty of people glad that Watson is able to laugh at herself, and some wondering about her behaviour on social media.
Someone wondered if Emma Watson had a plan to 'tweet only once per year and disappear into thin air', while another replied 'can't believe u opened twitter and actually tweeted something'.

Others chipped in to agree that trying to find parking near the Royal Shakespeare Company was a 'nightmare', so it sounds like a pretty common problem.
More of her fans wanted to know if she was going to be performing again soon, as her last movie was 2019's Little Women.
At the end of last year, she gave an interview where she said she'd been 'sowing a lot of seeds' over the past few years but there might be 'things coming to fruition'.
She also said she'd take on a role if it was the right project, so we'll just have to wait and see.
