Chevy Chase. Circa 1991 in Snowmass with some buddies skiing. We go to a place to eat and get seated next to Chevy and his family. We are all geeked about it since we could recite the entirety of Fletch in the drop of a hat. We are contemplating asking for an autograph but do not disturb him. The waiter shows up to give him his bill and Chevy loudly said About time! He paid and stormed off. The waiter came to take our order and said he was the biggest a-hole he had ever served...and he stiffed him.

1989 or '90. I was in school in Fayetteville. 5-6 of my buddies and I met for some pick-up basketball at the HPER. We had played for a bit when Woody Harrelson and some of his crew came in. Long story short......we played full-court for about two hours. He was hilarious, incredibly friendly and a really good basketball player.

I think Nadia from Lost wanted me to get into her booty one time.
Oh wait, I thought the thread title was “celebrity a-holes”
I’m also not sure she qualifies as a celebrity.

I know Tiffani Thiessen and she is awesome, she is down to earth and has always been nice to everyone every time I have been around her.
I played darts with Charles Barkley when he played for the Rockets, he was really cool and bought me a drink.
I met Patrick Peterson a few times, my son knew his brother Avery. Patrick was awesome, he mailed my son some LSU & Cards stuff.

I went to the Yankees-Red Sox exhibition game they had at the Superdome back in 1994. My cousin and I were down by the Yankees bullpen, watching Jim Abbott warm up and hoping to get a couple of autographs. The next thing I know Reggie Jackson is standing next to me. I have my baseball and pen and asked him for an autograph. He just says “No!” and hops over the rail and goes over to the Yankees dugout. Not the douchiest thing in the world but to fifteen year old me it was not the best first encounter with a HOF baseball player.
Harry Caray was cool. In 1995 the family and I went to Atlanta to see the Cubs and Braves. I had an old St. Louis Cardinals program from 1952, which was during Caray’s early days of broadcasting and had a beer advertisement on the back with Caray’s endorsement. I brought it to the game with me on the off chance I could get him to sign it for me. My old man takes me to the WGN booth at Fulton County stadium. We show the security guard what I have, he thinks is cool, and says give me a minute. He goes into the booth and a couple of minutes later says come in. My dad and I go into a room, where we can see Harry Caray and Steve Stone doing their pre-game show behind a glass window. Some suit quietly goes in, hands the program to Caray. He looks at it, smiles, signs it “Holy Cow! Harry Caray” and sends it out to me. I get a thumbs up from him and that was that.

Good. Chevy Chase is a renowned a-hole.

As an undergraduate student in 1981 I was at a conference in New Orleans. I'm in an elevator with Paul Dirac and Eugene Wigner (they are brother in laws). There's a few other folks in the elevator and it's a conversation about his fame. So some random girl finally ask "Who are you?". Without missing a beat he says "I'm an old pro football player"
She immediately asked for his autograph for her brother so Wigner pulls out a pen and a slip of paper off a little notebook. Dirac signs it and the girl gets off the elevator.
We all got a good laugh.

Jason Alexander. Was in Hawaii with my wife (no pics) for our 25th wedding anniversary. Jason sat in a lounge chair next to us on the beach. We didn't say anything just looked at each other with a "holy shite that is Jason Alexander" look. After a few minutes an attractive lady slowly walked up to him and nicely asked for his autograph because huge fan, etc. He looked at her and in a total dick voice said "can't you see I am trying to relax!!" The lady looked like she was going to cry and I wanted to punch him. Total dick.
If I'm relaxing on vacation on a beach I don't want someone asking me for my autograph either. I'm sure he had experience with that starting a line of autograph seekers too.
I would maybe excuse him there depending on more details, but I have heard he is a jerk IRL from others.

That's good.
Kinda sad that Dirac and Wigner contributed WAY more to humanity than a random football player, but the girl wouldn't have cared at all if he told her the truth.

Back in the day I worked at an FBO at New Orleans Lakefront Airport. A lot of bands who played the UNO arena would have their charter aircraft fly in and out of our FBO. The whole band Metallica had played the second night of a two night stand for the Black Album tour the night before. The weather was shite so they were just chilling in the lobby. We weren't supposed to interact with the customers but James Hetfield was walking around in the hangar and he saw me by my toolbox that had stickers on it, one being Metallica. He asked if I had been at the show last night. I said yeah and it was awesome. So we shot the shite a bit and I asked if he would sign my Black CD. He took one of my paint markers and said come with me. Took me into the lobby and introduced me to the rest of the band and had everyone sign the CD jewel case.
Also chit chatted with Def Leppard's Drummer Rick Allen. I had an old denim jacket with a Ramones Logo sewn on the back that I used for a work jacket. He saw it and walked up and we talked music for a bit while they were waiting to leave. Also a nice guy.
Back when they were filming the movie JFK they used our hangar to pull most of a Boeing 727 into our hangar to film a short segment. Well it was miserable in the hangar with the doors mostly closed and they were running the APU and the Air Conditioning packs, which are loud as frick. I was changing an engine on one of the flight school aircraft and they wrapped for the day. They had the celeb trailers right outside the door where I was working. Kevin Costner and Walter Mattheiu walk by and Kevin Costner stops and asks what I'm doing to this aircraft, do I like my job etc.. just small talk. Shook my dirty hand and said nice to meet you and went on his way. The jet couldn't leave because they had put the lighting rig that was simulating sunset in the scene too close to the side windows and had to change 3 windows due to heat damage. My first big iron experience was helping the guy they sent to fix it.

The Clinton's. My best friend from college worked on Clinton's 1992 campaign. He grabbed her butt on at least one occasion. Hillary treated the campaign volunteers badly, acting as if they were not good enough to breathe the same air.

I have never understood the celebrity worship that is given to these people. It is one thing to respect ones accomplishments but to put them on a pedestal with overdone praise is just plain foolish and just feeds their sense of entitlement.
Me either. Adults should always leave them be.

In August, wife & I sitting in San Antonio AP terminal heading to Chicago. This guy in kind of a cheap suit leaning against post next to us and has one of those Secret Service ear pieces and he's talking into his cuff and wife and I first kind of make fun of him quietly thinking he's just some goofball. Then a couple of AP security guys come by and fist bump him and tell him they'll board first shortly so we're like ok, I guess he's for real or something. A minute or two later a big parade of SAT po po are walking in formation coming down the hall and in the middle of all of them is in fact Ted Cruz. He sits down in our gate right in front of us. He accommodated everyone coming up to him for pics and stuff, even purple haired looking libs. When kids came up to him he would engage them and ask about school and stuff and was really sincere and engaging with everyone even with all the security around. People can say what they want but he's a genuinly cool and authentic guy.

Two of the nicest guys I've met were Nomar Garciaparra and Bruce Suter (RIP). Nomar talked to my then 3 year old son and signed a ball for him. Bruce was always friendly and had great stories about his days in MLB. I have a signed ball from him after he was elected to the HOF.
Several golfers were very nice and friendly but Bubba Watson was always pretty snobby.
