For most of us, meeting someone famous immediately gets us all star-struck. But sometimes, it feels so casual, mundane even, that it still feels very special, if not more so.

People on Twitter have been sharing their encounters with celebrities that, unlike most, were very ordinary and cool, after Twitter user @MavenofHonor shared how she, back in 2002, saw Diane Keaton in the Gap.

Over 86,100 likes and 60,700 quoted retweets later, it went viral and here we are with some of the best responses to the tweet.

Some people think that if you are eating alone they think you are lonely. But it only means that you are just comfortable and contented with being alone.

This. Or it can literally mean nothing. Just that you were hungry and somehow chose that place to eat. It also depends on the culture, I guess, and how casual it is to eat outside.

And there you went, taking a picture, without consent, of someone eating his meal. He noticed you dude.

Never ceases to amaze me how many stares I get from other diners, or strange looks from hostesses when they see that I am eating alone. Without fail, if there's a bar, they'll ask if I prefer to sit there instead of a table. Anyway, I'm with Keanu on this one. Eat with someone. Eat alone. EAT GREAT RAMEN...

Someone you recognize because of his job is just going about his life as so many of us do...

I genuinely wanna know your opinion: Do you find it ok to secretly take pictures of celebs? Or are you team "sure why not that's why they're a celeb!" Pls comment :)

Although they may be used to be taken pictures of them in ceremonies, conventions, etc, taking photosnof then unnanounces is a little impolite, unless they are doing something remarkable like rescuing a stray cat on a tree and want to acknowledge their good doings.

Love that the people in the pic dont look pertubed by him being there. Respectful of them.

I think this is because he has us used to him, by not running from the crowds, being very accesible to fans, etc. Is like thinking "there's Keanu, may I ask him for a selfie? Nah, I'll just wait for next week when we cross pathes again".

Nice to see he can be by himself and no one bothers him. Just as any other person would want to.

He's just enjoying a spot of lunch while ripping it about on his motorcycle! I know I like doing that now and again, going out on the motorcycle and aimlessly riding around until I feel it's time to go home. Going on a ride, feeling the wind around you as you're rolling down some winding roads is intensely therapeutic

I eat alone all the time, I love it and am a loner by nature.The owners sometimes come sit to talk to me. There's one where I eat regularly who is almost like family to me. She invited me last Sunday to join her family for a trip to the beach. So alone means many things.

Did you have to take a picture of him, though? Without his consent (most likely)? Could you just not tell the story?

When “Whole Lotta Love” hit the airwaves in my pre-teen years, I remember asking my grandmother if it wasn’t the most beautiful song she’d ever heard and was shocked when she said No. Led Zeppelin is my all-time favorite band!

Maybe he just tries to avoid creeps that follow him and take photos of him

I met Shaq while walking thru the lobby at the Ritz in Chicago. He was quite a ways away and I said whoa that is one big dude. As I got closer , I recognized who he was and as we passed, I stuck out my fist and said " hey Shaq" got a "Hey" and a fist bump. I'ma good sized guy but it looked like I had a baby hand.

I adore John Oliver. After watching Last Week Tonight on YouTube, I always leave the same comment: “John, thank you for throwing your lot in with us!”

I have tons of these kinds of stories from my 15 years of living in LA. First one was my orientation day at FIDM. I walk out to this park on one side of the building. I see this woman and instantly think "Oh, I know her. She's someone's mom. Who's mom is that." I walk a little ways away and sit down. I'm looking at her trying to place her when it comes to me. She was Will Smith's mom on Fresh Prince of Bel Air and no, I did not know her.

I'm usually the type who leaves celebs alone. But this guy I would definitely walk up to. :-)

If anyone is too lazy to click "Steve, it's George. The f****n' toilet is f****n' busted. I don't know what's up with the mother f****r, but it's not doing what it f****n' should be doing. Again, it's George. Call me."
