Or overseas famous people you met in NZ!

somewhat inspired by this feel-good post:

https://www.reddit.com/r/AskAnAustralian/comments/1bb478e/what_australian_famous_people_have_you_met_that/

but thought it could be cool to have some non-feel good stories there too

Personally I had to serve coffees for The Jam a couple of years ago - which wasn't my job, but just eventuated cos the café staff were otherwise engaged.
I fucked it up three times:

-I got sent back to get sugar

-Then I got sent back to get teaspoons to stir the 'fucken sugar'

-Then I got scolded for serving them in take-away cups, when they were happy sitting in the lounge and not destroying the environment

'Are ya having a fucken gag, mate?'

Met Jacinda Ardern a couple of times before and during her time as PM, spilled a glass of Chardonnay on her accidentally. She didn't seem to mind tooooo much, didn't make a scene, just changed her dress.

Met a bunch of All Blacks throughout the years, accidentally spilled 5 glasses of legit champagne on Beauden Barrett. He's a chill dude, was more worried about if I was okay and whether or not I would cop shit from my boss for an honest mistake. (Yep, I'm pretty clumsy.)

Ran into Dai Henwood at a supermarket, he's cool and funny irl. Was very nice.

Was once serving Hilary Barry. I was so starstruck that I could barely get a word out. She did most of the lifting in our conversations.

Had the misfortune of meeting Simon Bridges and Judith Collins in one night, both were nasty and up themselves.

Met Ben Boyce at Holey Moley, my mate and I asked him to take a pic of us bc it was funny. Didn't get a pic with him tho.

Israel Adesanya used to frequent the club I work at, he's a nice dude, if a bit egotistical.

Jason Momoa came to my club too, didn't want to pay for anything at all. He didn't get in.

Jeremy Corbett and Paul Ego are pretty cool.

If I remember any more, I'll add.

I just spent like 20 minutes trying to find info on his supposed brain worms. You got any?
