12 Tweets By People Who Didn't Realize Who They Were Talking To and Totally Embarrassed Themselves
People on the internet tend to think they know everything, but they're in for a rude awakening.
A long time ago, back in the early '90s, I was visiting the home of a family friend. This family friend was a normal guy with a wife, kids, and a corporate job, but before he became a corporate nine-to-fiver, he was a fairly famous footballer in the city where I grew up.
Famous footballers are usually friends with other famous footballers, so it wasn't uncommon that when we visited this home (which was a total party house and had an awesome pool and BBQ pit), there were often other well-known athletes and sports personalities present. One day, while we kids swam in the pool and enjoyed the BBQ, a group of adults sat around the table discussing the current season of the AFL (Australian Football League).
One male guest had drunk a few beers and decided to let loose on the performance of one of the league's biggest teams, and he did not hold back. He went on and on for about 10 minutes about how terrible this team was and wondered why everyone was awkwardly trying to change the subject, only to realize that the coach of that team was sitting three seats away from him.
Literally three seats away. That was my very first encounter with someone 'not realizing who they were talking to.' Below you'll see 12 more people who also didn't know who they were talking to!
