Then, a bunch of readers shared their own stories working for celebrities too. Here are the most interesting ones: The people who shared their stories allegedly speak from personal encounters. Obviously, we weren't there for these encounters, so feel free to take them with a grain of salt. 1. "Former concierge here in a 5-star property in S.F., CA. Mike Myers was my least favorite. He checked out of our hotel because he said no one knew him here. Typically, we leave celebrities alone! We were used to them. Plus, he always looked mad." -Anonymous, 45, San Francisco 2. "I'm gonna keep it positive, but by far, the most pleasant and decent star I've worked for was Cher. I was a musician in one of her music videos. She's extremely down to earth, considerate, and a decent human." -Anonymous, 32, LA Dimitrios Kambouris / Getty Images for Tribeca Festival 3. "I worked for my university's concert hall, doing whatever they needed, and we would have to show up while soundchecks were going on. I was walking through the hall with a friend of mine, and she asked who was playing tonight. I said 'I don't know some old guy I've never heard of.' Then, from behind us, I hear 'Hey, I'm not that old!' and a laugh. It was James Taylor, and he was so nice to us and a good sport. The concert was absolutely amazing too. Been a huge fan ever since." -Anonymous 4. "Papa Roach. I worked at a festival, and the band didn't talk to or make eye contact with anyone. Would not share a public bathroom with anyone else but the band. Would not eat the catering provided, even though they demanded it. For a band that preaches love and respect, they were terrible." -Anonymous Mario Skraban / Getty Images 5. "I worked with U2, catering their room. We were told by their team to make two lines like a column because the band was coming in, but to keep our eyes to the floor because Bono didn't want to be looked at." -Anonymous, 35, Houston 6. "I worked front-of-stage for a ton of metal acts, but the most chill bands were JudasPriest and AC/DC." -Anonymous, 63, New York Roberto Ricciuti / Getty Images 7. "A celeb with the initials DQ is the biggest *sshole I have ever met. I worked a hole at a celebrity charity golf event, and he came to our tent and started screaming at us. He looked and smelled awful. Huge brat, thinks he's more famous than he is." -Anonymous, Austin 8. "I was 18, in college, and working part-time as a parking valet at a popular mall in LA, down the street from a major studio. One morning, around 7:30 a.m., Tim Allen pulls in. This was 1996, and he was riding high from the fame of Home Improvement and the first Toy Story movie. He parked in a restricted area and asked if he could please park his car there. I was about to tell him no, but he asked politely and said he would take all of five minutes, and I could time him. So, I said okay, and he was actually back in three minutes - yes, I timed him. He thanked me and seemed really appreciative." "He then asked me how much he owed. I told him, since he was a man of his word and beat the clock, not to worry about it. I wasn't about to charge him for three minutes of parking time. He just smiled and said 'Really? Well, in that case, lunch is on me today,' and handed me a nice, crisp $100 bill. He got in his Porsche, drove away, and I spent $40 on pizza that day for the rest of my crew. Still walked away with $60 in my pocket."-Anonymous, Los Angeles Jenny Anderson / Disney via Getty Images 9. "When I was a freshman in college, The Office was at its peak, and they held a convention in Scranton, PA. I got to help out because I was studying broadcasting. Every single actor from the show that was there seemed to be surprised that we were all so pumped to meet them! They were each so sweet and grateful. At one point, before a panel discussion, Ed Helms needed to use the bathroom, and I got to walk with him for a minute to show him where it was. He spent the whole time talking about how much it meant that we were all there, and he was so proud to be a part of the event and the show. I can't say enough nice things about all of them." -Anonymous, 35, Philadelphia 10. "Christopher Meloni is one of my favorites. My dad worked with him on a show when I was five, and I met him once for all of five minutes. Seven years later, my dad worked with him again on SVU. I had to go to the set with him on a Friday night, and they were on location. When I turned around, I saw Christopher sitting, but he was in the middle of something. My dad and I walked out, and all of a sudden, I heard someone calling my dad. It was Christop
