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.)

Served David Byrne at a college bar; he wanted coffee and two aspirin, and asked if the tv volume could be increased so he could hear the documentary on African drumming

Adam Driver being sweet to a little boy at a Hudson News in 2017. The kid tried to get his dad’s attention for a while before he wandered over and yelled, “You’re KYLO REN.” Driver knelt down, shook his hand and said, “I’m on a mission from Snoke, so you can call me Adam.”

Micheal Stipe in a small West Villiage cafe asking for “unpronounceable Jewish cookies.” I turned to him and in my most phlegmy voice said, ”they’re pronounced Rugelaccccchhhh.”
