I mildly annoyed Jenson Button once
We were at the Petrolheads show and he was the special guest, came out at set times through the day to make a brief appearance and field a few questions.
In the sea of crazy-eyed male fanatics the guy controlling the camera/microphone made the mistake of thinking it a good point of interest to zoom in on the solitary female with her hand up - me!
I was pretty surprised as I didn't actually have a question (though not as surprised as my boyfriend stood next to me as he knows for a fact that I have zero interest in F1, didn't even know who Jenson was that morning until he told me) but plowed on with my mission regardless

"um...when would you say was your best time, and when was your worst..."

(I did mention that I made this up on the spot didn't I? I'm sure no-one noticed)

"...and please can I have your autograph?"

To his credit, he did laugh, and make a token effort to answer my token question, but he wouldn't look at me again after that and when he came around signing stuff he ignored my card. The Cad.

Edit: I should probably mention that my boyfriend loves F1 so I thought it would be nice to get the autograph for him, I don't just randomly try and get autographs of famous people!
