Not really irked or anything, but Elijah Wood accidentally gave me a slight black eye in 2005. He was King of the Bacchus parade at Mardi Gras and beaned me in the face with a bag of beads. I know for a fact this one is a lie, I have video evidence here:

Brian Adams told me in not so many words that my singing is awful.
Rick Rude...RICK RUDE, of all people, took my autograph book outside of a house show when I was about 9.
Noted baseballer Jim Thome was super awesome to me. Met him at a gas station, I had just cleaned my car so I had nothing for him to sign. He pulls out a BAT from his truck, signs it and gives it to me.
Oh yeah...Rick Rude...almost forgot. He came back and it was loaded with signatures. Apparently, he took it to the boys and they all signed it.

Oh yeah, this isn't personal to me, but my mother-in-law apparently had an incident so intense with Vanna White, that a literal restraining order was placed on her.

I've told my stories about Lenny Henry, a U.K. Celebrity many times here. Let's just say he's a c***. Sebastian Coe is a prick. My Dad once refused him entrance to a private building that was reserved for members of the Horse Racing club. He started saying he should be allowed in there too as he was famous and even said the immortal line "do you know who I am?". My dad told him to f*** off. Or something like that, can't remember the exact story. Ahh I must've missed these, tell us a Lenny story. He's always all over the local news here (Central) for being our biggest celeb etc.

Or something like that, can't remember the exact story. Ahh I must've missed these, tell us a Lenny story. He's always all over the local news here (Central) for being our biggest celeb etc. Well, he was the celeb I was talking about a few posts up when one of my friends owned him after his "do you know who I am?" comment. This was when I was working in a Cinema. Another time, he left his Personal organiser behind (like a big thick 80s Filofax, it was huge). My Manager and me picked it up and looked inside as it was our policy on finding valuables like that was to see if there were any contact numbers so we could let them know we had it (also, if there was any cash in there, we had two people to verify how much was in there in case they ever accused us of lifting the notes) and we could tell it was his (I could have rung Clive Anderson at home if I wanted, as he was the first name in it). We took it straight to the Managers Office so it could be secure for when he came back to get it. About five minutes later there was a knock on the door and it was Lenny Henry. He spoke to us like we were scum and asked for his property. My boss went and got it and gave it to him, he grabbed it out of her hands and walked away. I am one of those people who won't stand for that, so I shouted "a thank you would be nice", he just looked at me as if I'd just fallen out of a dog's arse and walked off. We weren't expecting a reward, and wouldn't accept one anyway if they offered it to us. We preferred people to write to our Head Office and let them know their appreciation that way. But even so, the c*** didn't even say thank you. These are just a couple of examples. He used to come to the cinema a handful of times a year and was always rude to the staff and had a general "I think I'm so much better than you vibe" about him. Although, Dawn French (who he was married to at the time) was the total opposite. Would always be polite to the staff and would chat to us about films if she had the time.

I once deprived Mark Addy of eggs. Was staying in the same hotel as him in London, and it had a breakfast buffet, which is my second favourite type of buffet.
So I basically loaded up on Bacon, Eggs and toast, justifying it to myself that I had a long day of being a tourist ahead of me, and was perusing the pastries when I see him walk up and go "Where are the bloody eggs?"
So naturally, I fled back to my table , didn't go over and say hi. Didn't watch Game of Thrones at the time, otherwise I would've marked out, but I now tell people I stole eggs from King Robert Baratheon.
...Thinking about it, this turned out to be a story of me being a dick to a celebrity. Ah well.

Depending on how Adams let you down, at worst this post has 1 bad and 2 absolutely awesome stories in it.

I know someone who was "do you know who we are'd" at a restaurant by someone from Five for Fighting. I got this from a basketball player when I worked for a video game store. I forget who he was, but he played for the Orlando Magic and wasn't Shaq or Penny Hardaway.

Also, as most Brits will know, he's been the face of the Premier Inn advertising campaign since 2009. When he opened the hotel my girlfriend at the time was working at he was absolutely miserable, treated everyone with contempt, and the staff were instructed to not talk to him. It was like that scene in the Simpsons where Krusty is filming a Krusty Burger commercial and as soon as the camera was off he dropped the act.

If you have to ask, "Do you know who I am?" the answer is always no.
Working the press dining room for an MLB team, I've met a lot of players and media. All of them have been great. Most notably Uecker, Jessica Mendoza, Buster Olney, and Charlie Steiner. Been lucky meeting famous types.

Aretha Franklin ordered food from the restaurant I work at To-Go than sat at a table and ate it. Then copped attitude when she was asked to leave. So f*** her.
