Author Jaya Saxena asked people to share their “most accurate celebrity sighting” on Twitter last week, after sharing her own: “Mine’s a tie between Sam Rockwell with an armful of DVDs in Mondo Kim’s and Richard Kind looking haggard on the M15.”
Saxena has since deleted the thread, citing “Lol 😈” as the reason, but we’ve been able to salvage some of the replies from subsequent tweets, as well as this BuzzFeed post (thanks, everyone. It really does take a village.)
