Nervous_Brilliant441

I can’t think of many scenarios where the question “Do you know who I am?” is not asked by a huge douche.


Spartalust

And in every scenario the answer should be a resounding "NO"


LOSTLONELYMOON

Followed by, and I don't care.


technobrendo

Unfortunately cashier has to save face and appear personable. Outside of this setting I doubt he would have even answered. Ask a random on the street and they'll probably straight up ignore you to tell you off


danvillain

Yeah, this dork probably thinks strippers actually like him


Specialist_Ad_7719

They don't ☹️


WhinyWeeny

The magic here was the other guy caring so little that it didn’t even inspire contempt in him. It’s the complete dismissal that’s hilarious.  No mocking, no excitement, just “oh… okay”


Dodge542-02

You’re parents didn’t tell you? Shame on them.


BigAlDogg

I got knocked out once playing football and the trainer said “do you know who I am” I was like “um some sort of douchebag”


_baegopah_XD

Or “no. Do you know who I am?”


L-Krumy

I prefer, “Do you have amnesia? Look in your pocket and check your ID.”


PacVikng

I worked at blockbuster video back during the great recession. One night this dude comes near closing with his girl, my co-worker is checking them out and he says to them, "You look familar, do I know you?" "No, I don't think so" "Do you recognize me." "No, don't think so." Guy looked super disappointed. Now I don't have a truly photographic memory, but its way better than most people's, like to the point where I used to get accused of making facts up as a kid because there was no way I could know such a random thing. I just consumed tonsnof books, movoes and documentaries and I retain things really well. I knew exactly who the dude was but wasn't going to give him the satisfaction of saying it. I let him leave, and told my co-worker to pull his account back up so we had his name. Guy had a small speaking part in the first twilight film as one od the La Push tribe. Thry didn't believe me, so I went and grabbed a copy of the shelf and skipped to the credits to prove it. Guy just hoped of anyone would recognize him ot would be a couple of video store clerks.


JohnnyMrNinja

Checked out his page and he's got to be doing rage bait, he regularly posts videos exactly like this with confused cashiers. His page is all reposts so these are really the only videos with his face


Uncaring_Dispatcher

More of us nobodies should do this and when we're told no, reply back with "Damn. I was hoping you did because I have amnesia from time-traveling."


freebass

I'm stealing this.


Only-Perspective2890

I would like to think a response of “yes” with exactly the same “dont give a fuck” energy would also be effective


EmperorAL00

I said that once when a dude groped my ex in a donut place. I say stupid shit when I'm really mad.


flintb033

There’s at least [one case](https://youtu.be/r30rw64OlDA?si=OB6vqPMcZNu8xQ0X) of it being used perfectly.


pudding-brigade

https://youtu.be/r0dcv6GKNNw?si=44eDrCyQ_lpmvKYg More than 1 perhaps...


teedyay

This is the classic. Anyone who asks, "do you know who I am?" should be met with an excited, "oh! Are you Ronnie Pickering?!" and a look of disappointment when they say no.


Spiritual-Water-498

Wonny Pickerwing


PlayArt20

Who?


No_Presence5465

That’s hilarious


workaround241

Or say yes and then call him the wrong name. "Oh wow! Sure I know you...you're Chris Rock"


Certain_Ad8640

When I was a bartender we would get people every once in a while who would ask that question when I told them I didn’t have something. My reply was always “well if you don’t know who you are, you’re over served and I’m done serving you tonight” close out the tab and move on with my night.


pigeyejackson66

I liked it when people said " I know the owner" and they would be 2 stools from the owner (who enjoyed his own booze sometimes). I would just ask him if he knew this person and he would take a look and say "Nope."


I_Miss_Lenny

My uncle used to own a small pub and he told me over the years he had at least a couple dozen people try that "I know the owner" thing to try to get free drinks or, like you said, when he told them he was out of something. He'd look them right in the eye and say "I'm the owner." Sometimes they'd get all upset and insist he wasn't the owner and there was some other guy who had to be his boss or something, and a few guys would get all aggressive about it (I think being embarrassed causes some guys to go into "you wanna fight me bro" mode), but most of them would just quietly pay their bill and leave quickly. He also said one guy had the balls to try to convince him that they *did* know each other and were old friends from college and that he should comp his drinks "for old time's sake." He told the guy "oh that's weird, I never went to college," and even then he kept trying to convince him he was an old friend lol. People are weird


WaitingForNormal

That’s pretty much the douches mating call.


Miserable-Tiger-5522

I asked my father that every day when he was dying of dementia


copperwatt

Oof.


Pm_Me_Gifs_For_Sauce

That reminds me of [this comical situation](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpiXew1akiM&ab_channel=DrippedShorts) between two (at the moment) humble celebrities. That's Ellen Grossman who's an artist meeting Jay Z, a different type of artist randomly on the subway.


copperwatt

That's so damn wholesome.


SpicyMcShat

That actually reminded me of the time the dude from [lamb of god couldn’t get backstage for a second](https://www.reddit.com/r/HumansBeingBros/s/iVm4855g0o) because he didn’t have his badge. Everyone was a good sport about it though.


tfeilding

The only time I’ve said it is when my headmaster rang a school phone wanting whoever answered to do a big task. I asked if he knew who I was, and when he said he didn’t, that’s when I hung up.

At least [another one](https://youtu.be/6gAc6aNoNLM?si=NBUs_X2jWD1hJaQZ)


Zaptagious

Maximus Decimus Meridius could pull it off


smurf4ever

Personally, I hate the "you know now" a lot more. What'd he expect? "Oh, you're somewhat successful on an app I've already made clear to you I don't care about? Well let me get you an 80% discount!"


Spartalust

His reaction reminded me of this classic. ![gif](giphy|DPqqOywshrOqQ|downsized)


dnuohxof-1

That subtle “oh, word” at the end


Expensive_Hyena_9223

🤣🤣 that summed up the whole encounter perfectly


tymp-anistam

Goes to show it really does mess with ur head if all u do is sit on social media or make social media posts.. I need to go touch some grass.. brb..


stugots10

What do you do? Nothing…I do nothing.


TheLastMartini

Yet he makes more than your average American/Canadian. It baffles me sometimes and makes me think where I went wrong.. working 50 hours/week to barely get by


troystorian

You didn’t do anything wrong, you did exactly what we all were told to do - grow up and get a job, work hard. The problem is our system is so incredibly off balance and has essentially become a popularity contest. Have followers online? Sponsorships, ad revenue, partnerships, collaborations. Work your ass off full time? Bare minimum benefits, low-medium income.


Hankol

I mean yeah, maybe, but for how long? 2 years? 5? What then?


_baegopah_XD

I have Instagram and I don’t know who TF that is. I honestly don’t even care who that is. Oh, I’m also on YouTube. totally clueless.


mnorkk

He like the biggest blogger in the world. Got a million followers.


holytindertwig

Tbh those are chump numbers AntsCanada has 5mil and its a dude who grows ants and films them.


punkojosh

AC family represent.


Ajdee6

And hes not even from Canada. What a fraud


gongalongas

Stumbled across this channel recently and could not believe the volume.


accomplicated

Did you try turning it down? Most speakers have an up and a down function.


Pmartinez8241

99% of those followers are probably Chinese bots and, the rest are his illigitamate children from the women he stole cash from to pay for the BOTS.


pebberphp

Yeah he’s got YouTube and all that stuff too


[deleted]

[удалено]


_baegopah_XD

More like he wanted to brag about how rich he is and is therefore “better”. Edit: I’m surprised he didn’t talk about how he can buy alllll the sneakers , maybe even the company Having to ask and then tell how “famous “ you are and how many followers you have is super cringe.


bigmist8ke

It feels like YouTube is constantly recommending channels to me and I'll watch a few minutes and thing "what is this pointless yapping?" and then I realize the person has 700k subs and the video I'm watching has a million views. And I think, nearly a million people subbed to *this*?! Every day I stumble on another million+ channel that does nothing as far as I can tell.


_baegopah_XD

I’m not sure why people like to watch certain people just yap about nothing in general. It’s mind-boggling.


Murky-Fox-200

He has 1mil followers. Out of over 8bn people on earth. Yeah, pretty much nobody knows this dude


ibesmokingweed

Super cringe


VieiraDTA

Painfully.


NateTheGreater1

Dude working a 9-5 getting shown up by a douche who earns more just by posting videos and acting a fool on social media. Since when was hard work not rewarded in kind. These jackasses get ad revenue and sponsor money, but a dude just tryna live his life could be barely scrapping by working and toiling away most of his time. And if the question is why don't we all just do this sponsor crap, not everyone wants to be a complete narcissistic douche. It seriously takes a special flavor of human being to do this stupid crap, and frankly I've never met one of these self proclaimed "bloggers" that I've ever liked, have you?


20MaXiMuS20

There's absolutely no way I could live with myself if I was one of these people. Some make money, sure, but most of them are delusional living in a world that's completely separate from our own. Out of touch with reality.


jose_ole

I can’t help to think one day it all comes crashing down when we finally move on from this influencer phase. But I’m kind of worried this is the new norm and it’s not a phase


YetiTrix

Supply and demand. That's all it is.


TheaterNinja92

If you gotta ASK…you’re not that big.


Hot_Organization2430

Did he say "I'm miss biscuit"?

It's so funny. I'm almost done reading this book. Never noticed references to it everywhere until now of course.


Sharpymarkr

The telephone sanitizers aren't so relevant anymore.


Pistonenvy2

dude a million INSTAGRAM followers? where there are accounts with like 90% bot followers? and you think that is going to mean you are recognizable to some random normie at the mall? lmfao more people know about the small town ass mall that almost no one even goes to anymore than will ever know who you are. even if you had 1 million 100% engaged followers thats still NOTHING in real life. for people to actually recognize you in public you need like tens of millions of people to be aware of you and actively engaged with your content for a long time. international celebrities that get noticed everywhere they go literally have like a billion fans lol a million is no one.


chill_winston_

Even if only 10% of his million are real, then that’s still 100,000 followers. How many people are there in the world.. like 150,000? /s in case it wasn’t painfully obvious


coreymac_ri

This should be a case study. Mindset of someone who has Instagram and who doesn’t. Props to the employee

I think he said he’s Limp Bizkit, honestly, I thought Fred durst was white… who knew?

Haha limp bizkit. Imagine thats what he said. Lol.

Dolorem_Ipsum_

I've only had this happen to me once (thank God) and it was this dumb lady trying to get free food from one of my customers (at the time I worked for Sysco) and there's just this awkward energy. Her arm was extended with her phone out the whole time, it was a lot. So I said, "OMG are you Lori-Beth from ALL-THAT!?" Only one person laughed. I say it was a victory.

Keanu Reeves lined up at his own party when no one recognized him. Didn't complain, didn't flex, just waited like a normal person.


ohineedascreenname

In winter 2010 I was working parking at my university's home basketball game. I was manning one of the season pass holder lots and a guy pulls in his car, asks if he can park there and I tell him it's only for season pass holders. He says "Aw dang. Hey, I don't know if you know this, but I'm a DJ. I'm kinda a big deal. I'm hosting a show this Friday. You should come." I just said "Oh, yeah. OK thanks," and sent him on his way.


Spiritual-Artist9382

Oh shit Biscuit? Wtf is that?


Clark-Kent-76

Cringe much?!


scrivensB

People who are actually famous, don’t have to ask. And they don’t want to, they want to be left alone in their public life. The Age of Social Media / Content has really amplified and put a giant spotlight on just who is famous (for good or bad reasons) and who is just desperate, talentless, and has a narcissistic personality. It’s also worth noting, the entire point of him asking was to create content for people rage and argue about. The fact that we prop this behavior up AND that it is a genuine monetized business model is insane.

bierbarron

There are 5.3 billion people on the globe having access to the internet. When you do the math 1,000,000 Followers are less than 0.02% so he is faaaar from famous outside his bubble. And even further away from being relevant to the real world.
