Non autograph/ apperance things.
I haven't met anyone famous but I have met someone who was a dead ringer for Lindsay Lohan. She came into the store I was working at to buy hair dye... Sometimes I think it was

Played a game of horse with Elton Brand of the Sixers before he even graduated High School.
Worked with a girl who looks a lot like Sara Bareilles.

Because of where I work, I meet a lot of celebrities. This year, I've met Chris Rock, Wayne Brady, Dave Attell, and most recently Michelle Wie. Last year I worked on an old NFLer named Conrad Dobler(some of you old timers may remember him). Um. I also work with Gina Carano's dad, and have seen him naked too many times to count. I've met a ton of pro wrestlers, but I don't know if that counts, because I used to be part of an indy fed.

I modeled my high school football career after him and even had a custom jersey with #66. I hear he was in bad financial shape a few years back. Do you know how he's doing? As for celebs I've met: Timothy Leary G. Gordon Liddy Charlie Daniels(didn't actually meet but flew in first class with him) While working with American Airlines I had a chance to speak with several celebs. Most of whom were athletes. Some of those celebs were: Heidi Klum Geraldine Ferarro Juan Guzman(Toronto Blue Jays) Bernard King(Washington Bullets/NY Knicks) Reggie Collier(Dallas Cowboys) Pat Combs(Phillies. I also met him at a baseball card show and he remembered the show) But the piece de resistance was Christopher Knight aka Peter Brady.

I saw David Hasselhoff at a Rite Aid buying a bottle of booze... It seemed awesome at the time, but it turns out that was during the middle of his alcoholic period.
I was at a TV taping a couple months back with some friends and one of my friends was making fun of my glasses because he said they made me look like Janine Garofolo... Then, low and behold, Janine Garofolo walked right by us as we waited in line. The look of shock on my friend's face was priceless.

Conrad is about 90% disabled, so he has a hard time getting around. He's also a dick. I introduced myself to him, saying "My name is David, I'll be your massage therapist today." On the way to the massage room, he tells me, "I've had a good day so far, so don't you be the first one to mess it up!" Honestly, who the f*** says that? In retrospect, it's kind of funny, but seriously, not a good first impression.
And Ron, KISS MY GRITS!

I've also hung out with Zebrahead. Cool dudes.
I actually completely forgot about bands, too. I've met Flogging Molly, Less Than Jake, Reel Big Fish, Bowling for Soup, The Aquabats, and a few others. The Aquabats actually had me come on stage and sing "Martian Girl" with them back in like, 2002. It was awesome.

If you're not British I doubt you know who these are, even if you are you'll struggle if you don't follow sport:
I've seen Les Dennis window shopping in a pound shop, Will Carling looking at a washing machine, Shaka Hislop buying a newspaper and milk and Alan Pardew looking lost.

I saw Michael Palin in a bookstore signing stuff. I thought you could just get him to sign anything so I had an old Shawn Michaels VHS I got from a 2nd hand shop ready but then some big scary female security lady told me I had to buy his book and get it signed so only my brother met the guy.
And at some crap UK wrestling show with a fake Undertaker/L.O.D etc some kids thought my dad was Undertaker.
