I've had only two bad experiences and those were with wrestlers (Lita and Jeff Jarrett).
Other than that, Bruce Willis, Demi Moore, and their kids were allowed to pass everyone in a line I was in at White Water in Atlanta. That was awfully rude of him.

I collect autographs and photos with as a hobby and have met 100s of celebrities over the years. I think the most recent, really bad experience was a few years ago with Kathy Griffin. I had heard good stories about her with fans but as we approached her she said basically that she couldn't believe that there were eBayers even in our city (we each had one thing to get signed) and told us to show her our tickets (this was at the hotel and not the venue so we didn't have our tickets on us) and she got upset and went inside the hotel and apparently told the front desk to call the police on us (they didn't) Would you have even got much from her autograph? What an ass she is. Well I'm sure someone would want it, I mean how else would she keep getting awful shows that no one watches? Kanye West was really polite when I met him. |

Kanye West was really polite when I met him. I generally never got a "jerk" vibe off of Kanye, just that he seems like an odd guy. |

I generally never got a "jerk" vibe off of Kanye, just that he seems like an odd guy. It's kind of the feeling I got from him personally. He was really friendly with me, even going to so far as to compliment my choice of bright red Air Yeezys with pink laces, Louis V. jeans, and Muhammad Ali t-shirt for my travel gear. It was probably such a smooth experience because I was so obviously a huge mark for him (within seconds of shaking my hand he knew that I own an imported copy of Late Orchestration and 808s and Heartbreak on vinyl.) and I didn't ask for a picture or an autograph, just a couple of minutes of conversation with someone that I consider to be one of the musically gifted individuals of the last thirty years. It's absolutely mind-blowing to go from listening to someone's music to shaking their hand within literally minutes. |

Robin Williams punched me in the kidneys until I fell to the ground crying. Worst of all, he insulted me in "black preacher voice" the whole time! He also gave my girlfriend a hotel room key. She said she'd go up and yell at him for being mean to me, but I never saw her again.

What an ass she is. I don't sell and ironically had nothing for her to sign at first. My friend has some little flyers and said her you go if you want something signed. When we went up to her I asked her for a photo with and she basically just saw stuff in our hands and thought we wanted autographs to sell |

I asked Tom Hanks for an autograph once, he gave a few hard chops to the chest until it was red raw, he then gave me the diamond cutter into a windscreen, then he and Ron Howard peed on my prone body
