Default fame in the family

anyone had a family member or someone close to them who has become famous through a weird or strange situation.

a few years ago my grandad worked at a few races courses in the local area and it was his job to check that no one got into the vip area who shouldnt

anyway, one particular day princess anne tried to just walk in without her regular escort and just assumed she would be let in (she was wearing somewhat of a disguise), but my grandad the stubborn guy that he is refused to believe she was who she said she was and didnt let her in.

and so the next day, the headline of a few national news was a pic of him with his hand in her face saying 'sorry luv, you're not coming in'

My Dad's friend Rod used to work for the security company who let all the bands into the appropriate areas at Reading Festival. He's knows absolutely fuck all about bands or music or anything though. So this one year these two scruffy looking guys with long hair turn up and Rod's just like "Guys, you've got the wrong passes, these are for tomorrow, not today, you ain't getting it." They just turned around and walked away, didn't make a fuss or anything. A little while later, they came back with some chief security guy who just went "Rod, don't be an arse, these guys are in Nirvana, let 'em in!"

Ace.
