I’ve been witness to this. It was in the Hamptons, specifically at a Sag Harbor shopping plaza. The person was parked in the emergency zone (clearly marked) and it was Jerry Seinfeld. A security employee responsible for the parking zones asked him to move his car, and he replied (honest to god) “Don’t you know who I am??” The beauty was, nearly everyone in the Hamptons is someone and thus so many passers-by stood there just looking at him like, “So what?”, that he followed instructions and moved his car. My experience has been that they can’t get away with that shit if you’re in the Hamptons, or Carmel, CA, or Beverly Hills (to some degree) because you’ll be considered an unwise ass from practically anyone around you.
Yes!! —And then when they say, “I’m {insert ridiculously famous person’s name here},” you have not the barest flicker of recognition on your face. Like you never heard of them.
I was a bartender/bouncer and was working the door one night collecting the measly $2 cover charge. I was already surly because I was bouncing instead of bartending and missing out on a good night’s tips.
A group of women approached, I said “There’s a $2 cover charge tonight - live music”
One of the women said “Don’t you know who I am? I’m the MAYOR!”
I said, completely deadpan, “Excellent, tonight mayors get in for $2”.
There was a story not long ago about the Palins crashing a party in Wasilla and the brawl that ensued. Sarah was heard yelling “Do you know who we are?!!” I would have loved to have been there to provide a variety of answers: “Brainless twat?” “Attention whore?” “Epic fail?”
Its True!
In Falls Church, that man is SO Famous… why they built the Entire Highway System completely around him in a big wide loop… just to keep from interrupting his nap!
