It’s surely amazing to run into someone that you personally know, but what about running into someone that everyone knows? Well, it surely will be something memorable, and hopefully it went smoothly, because if it was awkward, then it calls for a share with folks online. 

Chuck Wending on Twitter, @ChuckWending, decided to ask people to share their weirdest celebrity encounters ever. With over 5k likes, the tweet contained famous people of all calibers: Ice-T, John Waters, Hulk, Sting and others. And it seems that any public spaces such as lifts, airports, Disneyland and bars are the perfect setting for those meetings to happen. Enjoy these serendipitous encounter stories that were quite random and a little bit awkward and vote for your favorite ones.

    Dad's reaction was hilarious. He didn't seem too phased by it.

    There will always be an empty chunk in my heart for Carrie. I never got to meet her, but everyone I know who did had the most uniquely beautiful stories to tell. Same with Mark Hamill. They understood their fanbase, but especially, they are just kind, wholesome human beings. I'm going to mourn the rest of my life that we lost Carrie when she was turning Leia into the ultimate hero of the whole SW saga, and just when we needed her most.

    The perfect compliment is one you can brag about years later, and years later it has people laughing loudly enough to frighten the cats!

    I was selling art pieces at a local nerd convention and saw a doggo coming down the aisle (this was before the show was open to the public, so we were all still setting up). I immediately dropped what I was doing to hang out with the dog. Realized after sitting down on the floor with the dog that Carrie Fischer was standing above me holding the leash and laughing. Apparently every other vendor had gone crazy when they saw her, but I just saw dog and was awkwardly oblivious to humans. She bought three pieces of my fanart and thanked me for the laugh. I made sure to say goodbye to the dog.

    I once shook hands with Bobby Kennedy—he was on his last swing through California and stopped at the San Jose (then) Municipal Airport. He was assassinated three days later.

    Stuck between two D***s, then? Been there, done that. (This was an absolute cheap shot, feel free to downvote me ;p ) Seriously though, that must have been interesting if you were stuck in there for any length of time.

    I saw him before a show in Pittsburgh (I worked at the stadium). I didn't believe it was him...had a bright teal windbreaker on, boat shoes with no socks, hair all did, nice glasses. Went out on stage a few hours later looking like he'd been thrown from a train in his regular getup.
