In a world where Instagram dogs and kids who open toys on YouTube are considered celebrities, it’s fairly easy to connect yourself to “fame,” but what about weak connections to real stars?
Recently, writer Steve O’Brien took to Twitter and asked people to share their “weakest claim to fame.” And it turns out, people have some doozies.
The tweet itself has over 22,000 responses as of press time.
