To ask if you've upset a "celeb"?

[QueenOfOversharing]

I was very upset confused & amused to find that Noel Clarke has blocked me on Twitter.

I've never even interacted with the bloke & I really like him as an actor & the films & tv shows he's in. No fucking idea how I've come to be blocked 🤷🏼‍♀️😂

Have you ever upset a celebrity? Did you knick Baby Spice's parking space? Did you spill a drink on Keith Chegwin?

We upset Rod Stewart when we went out for dinner and he was in there with his wife . Tried to take a sneaky photo and the flash lit up the whole bloody village .

My DH bumped into the guy who plays cain dingle on emmerdale in a petrol station and said ‘uh it’s cain dingle’ and he said back ‘uh it’s you’ 🤣🤣

I stepped back onto Bet Lynch’s foit in a Chinese restaurant in Manchester. She looked pissed off but didn’t say anything.

A friend of a friend got told to fuck off by the Jesus and Mary Chain.

My friend went drinking with Shane McGowan who was not the happiest when she bought a bottle of champagne on his hotel tab, drank it then refused to shag him. She did wipe his nose though.

Once spooked Guy Pearce. A boyfriend and I were walking back to his flat in Archway and realised, after a while, that one of the 3 people in front of us was Guy. It was very late and the streets were quiet and he kept taking a suspicious glance round at us. Eventually he stopped and turned and asked, quite confrontationally, if we wanted an autograph or something - that shows how long ago it was, pre selfies!

My boyfriend said "nah mate, we're just going home to shag". I went bright scarlet and Guy laughed and stood aside, waving as past.

@PardonWhat vile man. No manners. Really .. did you have any idea who I am...

You've only got to read about the shit.

Having experienced it myself and I know of other people too.

I once saw Mark Wright and recognised him - but didn’t realise he was famous I thought he was someone I knew perhaps, and automatically waved and said ‘hello’ and he looked at me like I had taken a shit on his shoe and said ‘don’t think so’

Tyrone from coronation street asked for my number years ago - probably about 10. When I said no he spat at me and told me I was ‘butters anyway’ which I think means ugly? Good job I’m not self conscious

I once fell over David Beckham expensive gym bag, literally booted it all over the floor. He was actually really lovely though, helped me up and was like ‘please don’t worry about it, it’s really fine’ so maybe that one doesn’t count.

I meant he was "do you have any idea who I am?"

DD and I were in an already packed lift at Euston station. The lift doors opened on a floor and it was Jane Horrocks, looking very stressed with big suitcase. She looked at me and said ‘Cant you just MOVE BACK’
I said no not really, as the lift doors closed in her face.
Oh dear. Then DD went ‘Wasn’t that Bubble?’ and we burst out laughing!!

Did you read my post? What did you do to Hugh? Is he also your nemesis 😁

I used to regularly offend footballers by not having a clue who they were. Completely unintentionally but a few of them looked very put out when I didn't automatically know who they were. Working in a 'designer' shop and we were supposed to give celebrities discount.

My DP and I went to see Othello at Shakespeare's Globe. Arrived late and tried to blunder in via the nearest door. Got glared and barked at by Tim McInerney, in costume/sword/character as Iago, to 'Use the other door!'
Sorry Tim.

Not me personally, no.

A dad at DDs school is a well known author and Trump unfollowed and blocked him after a few political tweets!

That’s disappointing. Looks like the wedding is off

I once refused to sell goldfish to Richard E Grant. He was most unimpressed
OK, I need to hear the whole story/context

I once approached Brett Anderson of Suede outside a gig venue. He readied himself for an autograph. I asked him if he’d seen Mansun arrive yet (support act). He looked deflated and annoyed and said no.

Later that day, did find Mansun. Turned out they were immense knobbers, particularly the singer, who I ended up calling an up-yourself twat.

I must lead a sheltered life. Never met a celeb and have never heard of 85% of the ones mentioned on this thread!

I upset someone I really like!

In an old job a bunch of us got made redundant and so a small group of us went to the pub after work to feel sorry for ourselves. We probably (definitely) got a little loud, being angry with our work (we’d all been there 8 plus years and the company had been denying we were being made redundant for months, and then we were let go on the spot pretty much).

Anyway after some time a few of us realised Robert Webb was sitting at the table next to us reading a book, I was completely unaware of this until the next day as I’m so unobservant, but was shown the pissed off tweet he’d posted saying how annoying we all were :(

Bloody LOVE their stuff and still listen to them all the time. I think it was Paul Draper’s twattishness and up his own arseness that broke them up!

I offended a comedy performer I admire with an ill-judged tweet. I thought I was being witty and didn't mean to be rude but the way it came across... I just came over like a twat. He replied in a very hurt way and I was mortified. I grovelled an apology and haven't been able to look at his tweets since. The shame of it... Twitter's gruesome.

I was going on about Simon Armitage being overated whilst he was walking behind me. After his show though I have to say even if his poetry is slightly overated hes a very quick witted, funny man and spins a good yarn

I should say he was cool about me being a twat as well.

Not me, but my brother was at University at the same time as Prince William and accidentally hit him with a frisbee. PW said ‘oh fuck’ and glared in his general direction.

ohhhh my god Ive just remembered another one now that somebody mentioned David Platt. The kitchen staff where I worked came in excited saying David Platt was here in the cafe, I went out all buzzing but couldnt see him among the customers so started loudly asking where he was. I was thinking of the ex england footballer and had no idea who coronation street DP was (who was there). He gave me a sarcastic Leeds nobhead scowl.

Years ago, I ran into David Attenborough one day and almost knocked him off his feet. I was mortified, but he was absolutely charming about it, even asked if I was okay!

I worked in Edinburgh for several years and came across ‘slebs’ regularly during the Festival in August. Several of them were a pain in the arse, generally acting as though they owned the place.

I disagreed with something Dr. Ranj said on Twitter once. He replied, then it was basically a doggy pile with loads of his followers jumping on me, completely misunderstanding what I had said! (It was about breastfeeding, I said if there was better support for it from professionals there would be a higher success rate).
I turned off notifications for a couple of weeks on that one 🤣
