I’m professionally forbidden from saying how I annoyed Dr Alice Roberts, but I promise you it’s good, and you’d all be absolutely scandalised if you knew.

(might be exaggerating slightly)

Very drunk on a night out, got right up in a guy’s face who was getting into a taxi and starting going “ahahaha mate, you look well like Peter Barlow”, he just grumpily got into his taxi without comment. I later learned it was the actor who portrays Peter Barlow, and I lack tact.

There’s a chance I annoyed her with my flippant entry to a short film competition she was judging. I’m hoping she found it funny, but who knows?

Not exactly world famous but me and my mate were in the same pub as ob from hollyoaks in london one night, being completely wrecked we kept asking him where max was, why are you not with max, is max coming out later on, endless inane questions about max.

I think initially it was vaguely funny and he took it in good humour but it quickly got old and yet we still continued mentioning it every time we saw him which in itself is pretty funny.

I have never personally annoyed any famouses but my friend Jamie hit Michael Winner in the head with a serving plate at Katie Price’s wedding.

I’m sure loads of people have done this; I’ve bought stuff off him and realised it was him, but I didn’t have a huge chat with him or really acknowledge him or anything. He probably just assumes we’re shy…

Nothing major for me. We did once irk Stuart Braithwaite sufficiently at a Super Furries gig at Brixton that he moved to the other side of the crowd to be away from us. All we’d done was recognise him and tell him how great he was…

Booked (the never booked) John Barnes in a charity match. Just because.

So many. Not mutually exclusive to those I’ve pleased, cf. the other thread.

matt lucas was doing a play here about 20 years ago, I saw him walk through the station, pointed and said ‘whats the scores george dawes?’ I’m sure he loves that. this is why I don’t drink anymore, inhibitions are good.

similarly but without alcohol I saw louis theroux at a weezer concert, basically pointed in his face and said ‘its louie theroux’ that was just a complete reflex I had no control over

You were drunk 20 years ago!? I thought we were about the same age
