I’ve worked as a maintenance worker at a concert venue for a few summers and have bumped into several celebrities, but Carrie Underwood is the one who sticks out because of how demanding she always was. She refused to use a toilet if someone else had sat on the seat before her — cleaning them was never good enough, so we had to buy new toilet seats every time she came. Considering how much we already had to fix, the last thing we wanted to do was pointlessly replace perfectly good toilet seats. In contrast, Reba McEntire would always eat lunch with the staff and was always super chill.

Oprah didn’t tip me on a $200 lunch — instead, she signed a napkin for me and acted like she was doing me a huge favor. The kicker was when she walked in, they gave away all of my other tables so she didn’t have to wait for anything. So I made $4/hour for two hours for the privilege of serving Oprah, and she went on and on about signing a napkin that I never asked for.

Tyra Banks. This takes place when UPN and WB were merging into “The CW”. She comes into town for an ANTM cattle call. Demands we repaint the office she was going to use (for three days) makes our pregnant programming director cry, flips her shot and tries to get me fired when I wouldn’t get her a bottled water. My response was “have one of your people get it, I have to get back to the board, commercial break is up in 40 seconds.” Opposite side, Ashton Kutcher and Mila Kunis are two of the nicest celebrities I’ve ever had the pleasure of meeting. We had just gotten “that 70’s show” in syndication and they came out for promo shoots. Super friendly.

Sean Penn. F*cking douche at the movie theater I worked at. On the other side of that are Robin Williams and Lars Ulrich. Two of the nicest, most genuine dudes I ever slang popcorn to.

Okay, so a quick disclaimer first - this wasn't me, but my friend Dolly who was a flight attendant for a well known British airline until she died. She'd been with them since year dot, and as a result of her seniority would work in the First Class cabin. In her own words, she preferred it at the front of the plane, the nylon carpets at the back played havoc with her bunions.. ANYWAY, One day she had a British "celebrity" called Katie Price onboard. Ms Price is famous for... umm.. having boobs and falling out of various bars, I think. So, Ms Price comes on board, spots Dolly, and proceeds to spend five minutes listing her demands for the flight - namely that she should have total privacy, that anyone coming near her should be escorted away, that no crew approach her unless she calls them, and that Dolly herself would be held responsible if she was bothered at all, heads would roll, etc.. Dolly waited for her to finish her demands, and then said "Certainly madam. And you are.......?" tl;dr No name "celebrity" makes OTT demands on plane, gets cut down to size by elderly Northern lady.

Around 1998, Julia Roberts and Benajmin Bratt stole a cab from me and my girl on a really cold winter day in the West Village, NYC. They were laughing as they drove by, we both gave them a perfectly synchronized middle finger, which was fun.

Peter Mayhew aka Chewbacca. I accompanied my friend to a comic-con, who’s hobbies include getting autographs and photos of celebrities. He was very short with us and didn’t care we were fans at all. He interrupts my friend in the middle of complimenting him for his work, stating the costs of a photo and an autograph. Fine. We ask if we can take a photo instead of one his photos he selling and he tells us we’ll still pay the full price of one of his photos. Also fine. As my friend goes to walk around the table to stand side by side, he shouts at us to stay on the other side of the table. So we try our best to not look insulted, and take a super awkward picture of an annoyed Mayhew and my friend trying to lean back to make it look like they are posing for a fan pic. We try to thank him right after but he brushes us off as soon as we hand him the cash. D*ck. In contrast, we met Margot Kidder aka Lois Lane. She was super nice and even let us take pictures pretending to be flying with her like in the movie! And it was her suggestion, too!

I was an extra on X men: Days of Future Past. They were all nice. Jennifer Lawrence was the one that was the more meh with other people. I don't blame her too much... Peak hunger game popularity at the time I get it. She was probably afraid people would try to always give her too much attention... However the other actors didn't care about that. The NICEST ones by FAR were Hugh Jackman and James McAvoy for what I saw. For McAvoy, one of my friend was one of the extras right behind him in a scene and we were shooting 14 hours a day in cooking 40 degrees enclosed green screen bordered set in bright sunlight. We were running in high heels and wearing winter jackets... Basically a hellish day. And we couldn't sit anywhere! Well McAvoy saw my friend wasn't doing right and he let her sit in Professor X's chair and have a bit of his water bottle. And with that said, the dude would just talk and chit chat with everybody, despite the very strict non-conversation with actors contract we signed. He's just so chill. Hugh Jackman literally signed autographs in between shots and high fived a bunch of people all the time. Michael Fassbender told all set workers passing by him after a very long day of work battling in water to have a nice day. I was a huge fan of his at the time and it made my whole year at that point. F*ckin Peter Dinklage was dancing disco during the heatwave day to cheer people up.Show All 12 Upvotes
