Normally, hearing the words “do you know who I am?” means you’re about to encounter someone with a very, very inflated idea of their own importance. For example, they might be the second cousin of an ex-mayor, or perhaps, three decades ago, they ran a winning touchdown at a high school football game.

But every now and then, “do you know who I am?” is the perfect answer. So we’ve gathered the best examples from around the internet of people picking a fight with the wrong person. Get comfortable as you scroll through, upvote your favorites and be sure to share your thoughts in the comments below.
