Yes. Trapped. I worked on a buddies lifted Jeep, that prompted me to adjust the door so it opens all the way. While doing that one of the wheels on the garage door broke! So I'm fixing it so i can get out and eat dinner. There are two things that concern me though. I gotta pee, and there is a HUGE spider in here. It's gonna be him or me soon....
If its a big enough spider you can cut him open so you can stay warm tonight. Should be in the high 40s and you dont want to catch a cold.
Pee on the spider? 2 birds and all that.
Lifted Jeep. Can't you just crawl under it? 
Side door anyone?

That is the funniest post I have read in a while!
I want to be trapped in my garage. There are all sorts of useful and fun things to do there instead of the boring paperwork I'm dealing with now.

You thought they smelled bad on the outside!
it's been 3 hours, have you gotten out or do you need help?
It better be this big:
or you are a wuss.
FWIW, this afternoon I was doing yard work at chez Curmudgeon, lifted a dead limb and a cottontail rabbit hauled ass across the yard. I didn't know what it was at first and I think a little pee got out.
Ok, I'm out. I had to fab up a new bracket for one of the rollers. Then finish adjusting the opening and closing height and force screws.
I learned a few things:
When you have to pee dont hunt down spiders. You'll wet your leg when it raises it's front legs at you.
My west-facing garage door, while white, gets hot on a 60 degree day. Man!
My garage is pretty close to air tight. I farted and the stank lingered for something like 15 minutes!
Spiders don't like human farts. It ran and hid when I let it rip.
Very manly thread.
Was your friend working on your Porsche while you were working on the Jeep? Or were you being a sucka?
I'm still trying to visualize how you got physically stuck in the garage, but were still able to work...

I'm guessing it's a one way in/one way out kinda thing.
Hahaha. I was working on a buddies race car this weekend, outside on a gravel driveway. I had to roll under the back end to shore up the exhaust and saw a giant ass wolf spider. I chased him off with a brush of a glove and kept going. Next thing I know there is something in my hair... so I brush my clean, non-gloved hand thru there and hit a huge furry thing and then WETNESS. I screamed like a little girl and shot out of there like flailing an epileptic being electrocuted. It was actually my buddies pug licking at my head. DOH.

I laughed until I stopped making sounds

Well, the farting bits certainly are not ladylike.
thank you Dr, this was just the kind of thread I needed
Helped a buddy move into his garage, and we were setting it up with tools and the like. Noticed his window had an extremely large spider web in it. We then SAW said spider, and I'm pretty sure it asked if I had any spare smokes. We decided right then and there that the window belonged to said spider, and we left it the berkeley alone. Rarely are GIANT spiders poisonous, but I wasn't willing to find out- considering the closest hospital is used to dealing with minorities with GSW's, not stupid white boys with spider bites.
I had about ten sheets of drywall fall on me and I was stuck in my garage my wife was working, and nobody was answering the phone, and the ones that did were nowhere nearby. So, I sucked it up, gathered my courage, and cut my leg off to get free. That's a lie. I yelled and screamed till my neighbor heard me and he came and lifted the drywall off of me.

Sorry, my first post was done on my iphone, and in DIRECT VIEW of said spider so I was keeping an eye on that nasty beast. My post wasn't very clear. I had to adjust the garage door to open 6" higher so I could get the Jeep in. After fixing it I pulled the Jeep outside and had to adjust the garage door since I already made one adjustment. While doing that one of the brackets that holds the wheel that the garage door rolls on broke. With the garage door closed. My human-entry door is blocked for storage so that was out. I have two windows, but not only do they not open, but the spider was back there. Much like the French, when something scary is around I usually just give in.
I'm out now, and won't go back in until I find out what the natural life-span of a spider is.....

While that is most certainly true, I'm not sure they define it as "manly" either.
