Celebrities should at least be civil?

[Aprilsinparis]

AIBU to at least expect Celeb's to be civil, when approached. I understand they may be having a bad day, but because they are celeb's the impression they leave with fans will last a life time good or bad.

SJP is notoriously a PITA to work with

I went back to my old school town a few years back whilst on holiday as they had a good Indian restaurant. I hated school - it was a posh public school and I really didn’t fit in. I was really anxious that I’d see someone from school. My dd needed the loo so we walked passed a table where there was someone I recognised. I gave a stern nod, curt smile and hello to her and her friends and marched us to the toilet. It was only when I was struggling with dd and me in the tiny toilet that I clicked it was a bunch of famous actors and director. Mortified, I tried to sashay nonchantly back to our table, only to find, at the exact moment I was passing their table, that the blue toilet duck had hooked itself onto the strap of my handbag and was swishing blue toilet yunk everywhere. The shame.

I can’t think of anything more embarrassing than going up to a celebrity and asking for a selfie or an autograph, I’m sure most of them would be polite but it must be so boring hearing the same “I loved you in xyz” over and over again.

Having said that my dad met a famous comedian when we were staying in a hotel in the middle of nowhere and he was happy to put my dad’s drinks on his expense account all night and regale him with showbiz stories.

I used to live in an area with many famous faces. I always tried my best to treat them the same as everyone else. That doesn’t mean never interacting. It’s perfectly ok to chit chat about melons at the farmers market or complain about a delayed flight and the awful airport coffee selection. your niece was not out of line.

I don’t understand the fascination of famous people (not celebs). I’ve worked with a few. Just people really.

I’m believe in giving people privacy but a few years ago I was in x place in Essex and there was an event. It was busy and there was this woman from only way Essex and she was actively looking for attention. Got none - and I saw her let go of her dog lead and then proceed to cause chaos (get attention/recognition) while she tried to receive her dog.pathetic.

Come on, OP! Who was it?

I was staying in a posh hotel a number of years ago and visited the hotel jacuzzi to relax. There was a woman in there already with a face like a smacked arse because she wanted it all to herself and her children (although signage clearly said no children allowed in the jacuzzi). I ignored her and enjoyed a long session relaxing with no idea who she was.

Later that night the BAFTAs were shown on TV and smarked arse woman came on to present one, it was SJP.

You can't not tell us who it is!!
