18 People share their most boring celebrity encounters and they're hilarious

Go to any dinner party anywhere and I guarantee that somewhere between dessert and wine bottle number three people will start sharing celebrity encounter stories. Okay, maybe it won't happen every time, but people do find it so exciting to have met an A-lister in real life that they need to tell the people around them about it.

But because we're so used to seeing our favourite stars jumping from planes and robbing banks and getting entangled in crazy love stories on the big screen, when we meet them in real life, the circumstances just seem so incredibly... boring. A recent thread on Twitter has left thousands of people revealing their most mundane celebrity encounters, and the results are hilarious.

Thanks to a tweet by John Moe, people are sharing stories from inside restaurants, at airports and other random places you might be lucky enough to come across a celeb. "Your most boring, mundane, inconsequential celebrity encounter. Go!" wrote John. The resulting replies are – despite the fact that they're boring as hell – absolute comedic gold. Here are 18 of the best.
