We all want to think that we're silver-tongued smooth-talkers who'd come up with the best possible thing to say if we met someone famous, but really, that's just not the case.
At best, you're going to make it through the interaction with the most basic of social skills. At worst, you might have experiences like all these people did.
Rach's own story was telling Lady Gaga that her outfit made her look like Mary Antoinette (instead of Marie), but the responses she got ended up being just oh-so-much-worse.
I can't think of a single time when anyone has ever talked about a wax figure being a positive thing.
Usually, when we talk about them it's because of how janky they are and completely unlike the celebrity they're supposed to be replicating.
Apparently, @HausOfLozza claims he followed it up by giving her an even harder time:
"Have you had a little drink tonight?"
"Yeah a little bit."
"Hmm a 'little bit.'"
That's the kind of sentiment I'd worry about saying to my best friend, let alone to a celebrity I've only seen through the lens of social media. Yikes on bikes.
Meeting a celebrity is intimidating enough, but when you stan someone enough to make them your Twitter handle like @dualapeep did, it's no surprise it was paralyzing.
Even more shockingly, Samantha actually captured her own awkwardness on camera. She didn't think to take a pic, but she recorded her fail?
Heck, you can be honest and still filter the truths that you decide to share. I promise Harry didn't want to know about this.
Heck, I don't have anywhere near Paris Hilton amounts of money, but I'd still feel weird about returning a $3 product.
I get the feeling that Shawn Mendes isn't exactly wanting for phones. He probably doesn't need yours.
@doveluvpeace says they followed this up by saying that they also love math, and Neil told them that math is the language of the world. So at least they recovered.
Imagine having Katy Perry express genuine curiosity about your career, only to have you mansplain your last sentence to her.
I can't wait until Hozier is in an awkward situation and he accidentally uses this line.
That's why every time Michael Keaton gives an interview, he starts it off by growling, "I'm Batman."
I hope the face in this picture is exactly the face that Gwen made for the entire visit from then on.
This could only possibly be better if they were making an "uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" sound at the same time.
Then again, now they can tell everyone they learned what the word "avid" meant from Martha Stewart. So it's definitely memorable.
That's my rule for life, and look how far it's gotten me! Actually, that's terrible advice, please don't do it. You don't want to be me.
This must especially hurt for someone who calls themselves "Blessed by Britney."
You can always follow Katya's life plan and get robbed in two different seasons of RuPaul's Drag Race.
Or just maybe you could convince her that you actually said "Hailey." They kind of sound similar, right?
I'm no legal expert, but I'm pretty sure that NEEN over here just got adopted.
These are the conversations you can have with your Niall-shaped pillow at home, but the real one doesn't want to hear about your problems.
Like, these words almost mean the same thing, but one of them is just a vicious bit of a savagery that will haunt Brendon Urie for years.
I'm sure she just wanted to show that she cared, but still...yikes. Yikes, yikes, yikes.
I mean, it is a cute desk and all, but that's probably not what should be the focus of conversation.
@kenziecoffman took a chance, and I'm honestly more embarrassed for Peck on this one.
Like, I wouldn't realize anyone was talking to me if I just heard someone screaming "KEVIN, KEVIN!"
Also, are you really that surprised that a guy who you tagged in a picture ended up seeing the picture?
Again, that's what you get for tagging. But having Nyle sarcastically call you a legend almost makes it worth it.
In fact, I'm starting to tear up just imagining what it would feel like.
I mean sure, it's been a minute since Even Stevens was on the air, but come on.
People thought it was weird when Katy started bringing an emergency surgeon on tour with her, but who's laughing now?
