15 People Who Had No Idea Who They Were Talking To

We have all witnessed pretty embarrassing conversations in our lifetime, but the best happen online where individuals will attempt to correct others, while not realizing who they are speaking to. It's pretty satisfying to watch a know-it-all get shamed with some actual facts, and it's also a little sad to see how oblivious some of these people are. Apparently, so few people recognize celebrities or well-known experts in their fields. Instead, people will try just about anything to pick a fight over, and they'll make things weird in the process of doing so. Like, really weird. But at least it's satisfying for the other person to put them in their place.

Below is a list of notable people having to point out who they are, because people either fail to research who they are conversing with, or they're just blissfully unaware. Here are 15 of our favorite screenshots that are full of secondhand awkwardness, collected from the subreddit /r/DontYouKnowWhoIAm.

When You Are The Writer Of Men In Black

Ed Solomon @ed_solomon At the cafe where l'm writing the people next to me were disagreeing about the origins of Men in Black & I said "If you'd like, I could clear that up for you" & one responded: "I'm sorry, we do not need an old white male's mansplanation." So l apologized and that was that.

Language Barrier

I already have a PhD in English literature, so they would need to build off of that.

Monty Professor

John Cleese @JohnCleese An ignoramus who has a law degree from Cambridge, who has co-written two best sellers on psychology, who for 20 years ran a management training video company that became the largest in the world outside the States, and who has been a professor at Cornell for 16 years ? You next Jeffrey D Meyer @Tyrannicus · 21h Replying to @JohnCleese Get bent, Cleese. You existed in the literate past as an ignoramus on Monty Python, yet managed to successfully riff of supporters. Not a great stance to be taking in the current day and age. your 7:34 AM 3/4/20 · Twitter Web App 724 Retweets 10.1K Likes
