There are people who are famous forever, like John Wilkes Booth or Julius Caesar, people who are famous in their time, like Julia Roberts or Zac Efron, and people who are mostly normal, but have a minute where they’re totally hot sh*t.

Then there are the rest of us, who will never be famous, not even for a minute. That’s okay, too. Maybe, in the long run, it’s even the best way to be.

These 17 people definitely had a story to tell when Chrissy Teigen asked for it, though, and I’m loving the chance to live vicariously for a minute of my own!

17. It’s just nice to be noticed, I suppose.

Who doesn’t like to be compared to an infant?

16. When you will forever be “the girl in the wiener leggings.”

Why on earth do such a thing exist?

That time a photo of me in wiener leggings was pasted all over the city of Philadelphia, as well as the Internet pic.twitter.com/6uZkznhi7L

15. No high schooler needs that kick in the crotch.

I mean. Ouch.

My cheerleading squad was on an episode of MADE in 2010. That’s me on the ground. Also got kicked off of the squad in the middle of the episode. Overall the show did great things for my self-esteem in high school pic.twitter.com/6RU9hWT5Dt

14. I would get punched in the face to work with John Oliver for a day.

You gotta do what you gotta do.

i used to work at John Oliver and for 5 seconds I was in this photo being punched in the face pic.twitter.com/H8PMV7p32b

13. Too bad he couldn’t make that one stick.

This is pretty darn cute.

I got “married” to Priyanka Chopra in 2014. I put two flower leis on her to welcome her to a “green carpet” event in Tampa. Little did I know that symbolized “marriage” in Indian culture. The Indian press had a field day with it and I was giving exclusive interviews the next day. pic.twitter.com/wt1Q0S3NBF

12. This is by far my favorite one.

I mean. That eyeliner is spot on.

I was famous for 1 second when I wrote a review for eyeliner that survived a car crash 🤷‍♀️ pic.twitter.com/OeZX67mRwX

11. Becoming a meme is riding a razor’s edge.

And no one asks if you WANT to be a meme; it just happens.

I became a Rupaul’s Drag Race related meme/gif a few months ago 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/zXvr0wnGQG

10. 2001 me is quite jealous.

I wish I was joking, honestly.

In 2001 my childhood friends and I went to an @NSYNC concert at Foxboro Stadium and our picture ended up in Teen People Magazine. pic.twitter.com/zwKiDj5mJM

9. I think she missed her calling!

The acting, not the prostitution.

I played an 11 year old virgin prostitute on history channel’s Wild West Tech: Brothel Tech. Yep. Direction was to “look sad about your future” pic.twitter.com/Xzlt16KPW0

8. Talk about a perfect storm of a moment!

This is just so meta I can’t stand it.

Yes, I was a seat filler at the Grammys and sat next to you. The camera was on us during @johnlegend’s performance and the clip was turned into a gif 😂 pic.twitter.com/3FTpsjZFHs

7. Just watching this makes me nauseous.

No way in hell.

I wish I had been younger and could have loved this show.

I was on 1 episode of Zoom in 1998😏 pic.twitter.com/URF4LclqFC

5. Those expressions, though.

That show was the best.

2. Having been in the video, I bet she never expected to be famous at all.

There really is no predicting what’s going to catch on.

1. I bet her friends thought she was so cool.

Until middle school rolled around and they didn’t.

I won a contest when I was 6 (I drew a picture about why I loved kraft mac & cheese) and won $15,000 and a trip to Orlando and my face on millions of boxes nationwide lmaooo pic.twitter.com/Jvm95kEfny
