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?

Jeremy Paxman told me to fuck off when he tripped over my bag

BadEyeBri · 10/03/2020 23:04

Oh and Rory McGrath ran me over on his bike. Also swore at me. Then cycled off.

Many years ago, totally twatted staying at a friends parents house (big posh house, middle of nowhere in the Yorkshire Dales somewhere), and a bloke came in to talk to friends dad. Me, being a bit of a pissed up loudmouth, told him he looked "just like that twat who's in charge of the Tory wankers".
He was that twat who was in charge of the tory bankers, William Hague. And he was very nice about it all Blush
Although, having just googled him, I thought he was ancient then, and hes only 58 now - is he ageing backwards or something?

Iain Duncan Smith blocked me on Facebook after I made a few comments on his posts during the election.

Chanelle Hayes got very grumpy with me when I pointed a certain something out to her and even sent me an annoyed PM on IG.

Reader, two days later, I was proved right! Grin

@TAKESNOSHITSHIRLEY they didn’t tour in Wales in 1995 Smile

I don’t want to give names as I know people IRL on mumsnet and they will recognise me if I give names but I have a few different stories.

I accidentally tripped up a famous comedian (regular in shows like 8 out of 10 cats/ mock the week etc) and caused him to have a nose bleed from the fall. I was very apologetic but I could tell he wasn’t happy.

I don’t like football and know nothing about players, teams, managers etc. I was at my local one night and chatting to some people who were friends of people I knew. The subject of football came up and I had a bit of a rant about how overpaid footballers are for what they do etc. Turns out one of the guys in the group was (at the time) a famous footballer who played for a very big team. I had no clue until someone told me the next day. It does explain why he was weird with me the rest of the evening though. I’m sure he thought I was taking the piss or having a go at him but I wasn’t.

Another time I was at a comedy show to see a bunch of comedians (think it was part of the fringe festival). I didn’t know them all just a couple. I was at the bar and this guy started flirting with me, I was quite rude to him because he was persistent after I tried to politely brush him off. I got back to my seat with the drinks, started to tell DH about the annoying guy at the bar. 2 minutes later annoying guy from the bar walks on to stage - he was one of the comedians. We were sitting right in the front row too. He’s pretty successful now but wasn’t at the time.

Oh and finally DH was in a relatively successful (but short lived) band in the late 80’s/early 90’s. I’m pretty sure I annoy and upset him on a regular basis Grin

@pyongbangKipperbang - Robert Lindsay wears dark glasses for a medical complaint.

@Sarcelle so does my father, but he makes sure that he doesnt stick his head in his phone at the same time. And the reason I mentioned the tan was because, at the time I encountered him, he just looked like a dick with a fake tan and sun specs.

GabsAlot · 11/03/2020 00:26

ooh give us a hint to the band fish!

Sgtmajormummy · 11/03/2020 00:50

I put Martin Sheen (Apocalypse Now actor) off having a nice cup of tea in Grafton Street Bewley’s.
It was late one Sunday morning and everybody was enjoying the papers over a genteel cooked breakfast. God, I miss that place...
I glanced up and saw him coming through the doors. I recognized him and gave him what I thought was a “I know who you are but I’m not going to bother you” smile. Nobody else noticed him.
He flinched and made a hasty retreat!
I heard recently that he’s a close friend of Michael D. Higgins but that was way back in 1989/90.
Sorry Martin!

HighNetGirth · 11/03/2020 03:40

Nick Hewer or whatever from The Apprentice because I didn’t recognise him. Was very funny.

ThisIsNotMyRealName1 · 11/03/2020 03:54

@HulksPurplePanties - I'm germ-riddled and poorly right now, and am now struggling to breathe on account of laughing so much at your Chuck Norris tale Grin

YgritteSnow · 11/03/2020 05:13

Jason Orange huffed and turned his back when I recognised him outside Baker Street tube. You were hot but talentless and only ever there to make up the numbers Jason!

YgritteSnow · 11/03/2020 05:21

Oh and Louise Thompson from Made in Chelsea when she posted a photo of herself pouting and posing on some steps on Remembrance Sunday saying she was just off out for a Sunday roast #theyshallnotgrowold or something similar. I thought it rather inappropriate and said so. She took the hash tag off straight away but was really petulant about doing it.

maddiemookins16mum · 11/03/2020 05:45

Noel Clarke from Hearsay?

YgritteSnow · 11/03/2020 05:49

@TheYearOfTheDog

Did she go out with Jamie Theakston, I feel like it could have been him.

She did and gushed about him everywhere and how it was true love. Then all went very quiet and the gossip was he'd behaved like an absolute pig to her as apparently he did in all his relationships back then.

vampirethriller · 11/03/2020 06:41

I accidentally trod on David Blunkett's dog's paw some years ago. I apologised to the dog and David Blunkett was very nice about it.

TravellingSpoon · 11/03/2020 07:03

@maddiemookins16mum. No, I think the OP means the actor, who wrote Kidulthood and Adulthood, but is probably best known for playing Mickey in Doctor Who.

SheilaHammond · 11/03/2020 07:05

I trod on the back of Paul Weller's long leather coat. He was kneeling down trying on shoes in a Covent garden shop. I was about 16 and a west country girl in London for the first time. He grumbled but I didn't know who he was. The woman in the shop told me. It was about 1985.

easyandy101 · 11/03/2020 07:18

I wasn't there but liza minelli called my sister's and my mum "your fucking family" after they tried to bond with her for being small Grin

When I was 12, my parents saved their last pennies to allow me to go on our school residential to France. As part of that, we got an overnight stay in Disney. Due to having hardly any spending money, I only bought myself a Disney pen which had light up ears Hmm. I loved that pen.
A few weeks after I returned, my grandparents took me to the local racecourse where Frankie Detorri would be racing. As they came out of the paddock, I waved my pen and paper in front of him to get his autograph, which he obliged. BUT...he took my pen to carry on signing everyone else's autograph book. I shouted for him to give it back and he angrily shouted "just fu@king wait a minute". I was so upset. He then proceeded down the line and eventually handed my pen to someone else, who then walked away with it into the crowds. I cried and cried.
So, Mr Detorri if you're reading this, 1: you stole my pen. 2. You made me cry 3. If Like another Disney pen one day if you're ever passing!

Karl Beattie (of Most Haunted fame) was rude to me on Facebook, when I defended teachers. He was ranting about the usual- they work until 3pm only, they get too many holidays, how DARE they want to strike for better pay etc. I merely pointed out the facts as I saw them, as I work in a school but not as a teacher.
So he berated me, then blocked me.
Arse.

PhilSwagielka · 11/03/2020 09:52

I made a rude comment about Prince Philip's hat when I was 5 or so, and he gave me the evils.

Helen Baxendale. I had a Saturday job in a vintage clothes shop and a woman swanned in (I didn't recognise her at all) looking a bit scruffy. It was a small shop, she didn't even say hello when I said Hi as she walked in. She grabbed a load of stuff off the rails and went off to the changing room without asking, so I politely pointed out she needed to ask to try on the items first along with only taking in 4 items into the changing booth (a lot of stuff was getting nicked at the time). She really huffed and rolled her eyes at me, then stroppily gave me the other items. After trying stuff on, she didn't even buy anything and huffed off out leaving stuff messily hanging in the changing room. I remember thinking "what a bitch!".

Later on that evening I went to see A Midsummer Night's Dream and she was in it playing Hermia Grin. That's when the penny dropped and I recognised her as the stroppy woman! I still think she is a bitch.
