If your answer to the second question is yes, then you are one of those lucky people who have managed to make the most of that time. On the other hand, if your answer is no, you might want to press the undo button if life had that option for you.

Often, when you meet a famous person, especially a celebrity that you only see in your favorite shows or movies, at an unexpected time and place, there is a possibility that you will get overwhelmed and overexcited. You can be starstruck, speechless, and worse, do or say unexpected things that could make that once in a lifetime chance such a disaster.

You might feel frustrated about humiliating yourself, but you are not alone. There are more people out there who feel the same way as you do, and you can see it from the responses on @rachyymarshall's tweet as she asked other users about the stupidest things they've said to celebrities.

Her tweet went viral with over 17.5K retweets, 1.7K comments, and 7.9K likes, which only implies that many people can relate to this scenario. Scroll down and laugh those embarrassing moments away as you read other people's stories.

Based on these various reactions, you can clearly see that it's common and natural to make mistakes and say those stupid things when you are confronted with unanticipated situations like these. The good thing is, you can take this experience as a lesson to do better the next time you meet a celebrity you admire and create better memories.
