For me its Jim Davidson, Jennifer Saunders, Neil Morrisey and Michelle McManus.
Celebs you've met that are smug b*stards
I think we would need more details to determine conclusively whether it was them being bastards/having an off day or you being a twat.

I thought you've always been a fan of Mr Davidson?

Jim Davidson- I met him at the stage door of the Edinburgh Playhouse. There was a disabled man in a wheelchair waiting to meet him also. The man asked for an autograph and was told, in no uncertain terms, ''F**k Off''.
Neil Morrisey- I met him in a pub. I asked for an autograph and he said ''No, they'll all want one!''. Weird considering no one but me bothered to even speak to him.
Jennifer Saunders- Edinburgh Playhouse. Looking at me with a ''I'm so much better than everyone else'' look on her face and looking pissed off when I asked for an autograph. Dawn French was more pleasant than Saunders was.
Michelle McManus- Well, didn't meet as such. Saw her in a supermarket. Queing up to buy something and because the queue ( mostly elderly people ) took its time getting slower, she simply put the item back and stormed off in a huff.
For me, that makes those four arrogant. I may be wrong.

I think he's a brilliant comedian. But I think in real life he's an arsehole. Not just because of the way he was when I met him. But his personal life ( wife beating, homophobia, etc ). I love the guy's work, but I just don't care for the off-screen Davidson.
Jim Davidson is a bit of a c**t though, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he said that to a man in a wheel chair.
I've not really met many celebrities, the only one I've seen on several occasions is John Henshaw (Ken from Early Doors) who lives near me, so I often see him in the pub and he is a really nice man. In early doors, people raise there glasses at him and say 'To the regiment' and he always replies 'I wish I was there'. Whenever I've seen him and I've had a few drinks, I raise my glass to him and say 'To the regiment' and he always replies 'I wish I was there'.

You're right, Jim is a c**t with a capital C. That John Henshaw sounds a nice guy. Wasn't he in an Christmas special of The Royle Family .
To be fair, I react quite badly when people ask me for my autograph.

Can I have your autograph?
In 2005 met Craig Charles of the popular sitcom Red Dwarf and was not only miffed that he criticised my jacket but particularly irked when he made a jibe about a downs syndrome neice of mine who I had asked him to sign an autograph for.
I hope the rehabilitation centre he went to has sorted him out as he certainly was not the pleasantest of people to be around.
What sort of jibe?

That's terrible. I would have belted him for that.
I was unsure at the time whether I should be sympathetic to his attempts at humour but in retrospect the 'joke' I am sure would not be humourous to people who were into such edgy comedy tastes.
I must admit later I was pretty ashamed of myself for not reprimanding him.

What did he say exactly?
I explained that my niece was a fan of Red Dwarf and that she suffered from downs sydrome. I can't remember exactly what he said but part of his response included 'is that like when you say to a dog down boy! Down boy!'.

That's sick!
