Great thread btw.
A few seasons back before a home game vs Burnley, I got on a train at Brighton and found myself sat directly opposite Alastair Campbell. Instead of publically holding him to task over the infamous "dodgy dossier" on Iraq's capabilities of launching WOMD against the west, I instead asked some dull mealy-mouthed question about how he rated Burnley's chances against us that night.
I promise to do better if I ever find myself opposite Donald Trump on the way to the AMEX.

Why didn't he use the public toilets like a normal person?

Sam Mendes kicked me in the shin during a game of football when I was about 12, all but ending my enjoyment of actually playing the game.
I got my revenge by getting a peck on the cheek by his then wife, Kate Winslet.
Then I had a chat with Doon from Smack the Pony, who was smoking a joint with a cast member from The Bill.
That was a surreal day.

Mark Williams’s daughter was at school with my son, so have shared many mundane parents evenings together.
Rag N Bone man has held the door open for me a few times over a 6 month period, once at Chessington, one at a Kaiser Chiefs gig at the Brighton Centre and one in Churchill Square.
Spent three hours in an airport lounge at Sanford Airport with Kirk from Coronation Street while his kids were playing with our kids.
Spent a train journey back from London with Alex Pollizzi (Hotel Inspector).
Done pottery painting with Jane Torvill, again the kids were all playing so the group sort of merged.
All suitably very mundane hopefully.

Mundanely I put up some light fittings for Will Young.
Another mundane job I was taking down some light fittings for a chap who had sold his house to Kat Deeley, I was still there when the Deeley’s arrived. She asked me to put up her light fittings and when I told her the rate her dad who was a real dickhead ranted he would get someone cheaper much to the amusement of my customer as it was only £250

I was working at the Open Golf the last time it was at Sandwich, monitoring the scoring at my terminal in the PGA tent (our company had the contract for the scoring system) and Craig Stadler (sp?) asked me if he'd made the cut.
I told him that he hadn't.
He offered to keep me supplied with beer if I kept him supplied with info.
I agreed and told him to be discrete as we weren't supposed to drink while "working".
That year I was the guy that told CS that he had missed the cut.
He turned to his caddie and said "we'd better get those tickets to Tokyo" (or somewhere like that), and off they went.
He'd only bought me one beer!

Notmundane at the time but I had lunch (in Santa Fe, NM) AND dinner (LA) with Suzanne Hoffs (Bangles) in the late 80s. I can report that she is (was) both a lovely person and gorgeous.
Higher or lower?
It was nice to see him. Nice.
Elle Macpherson ran into me with her little shopping trolley in a market in NYC, she said sorry in such an American accent (she is Australian like me) then went back to ordering her 1 specific sausage she wanted. Bizarre...

I played 2 holes of golf with Nick Faldo (yes, he's a ****) and I have also played a friendly round with Erik van Rooyen when he had recently finished his golf scholarship in the US and was playing on the Sunshine Tour. He had not yet won a tournament but won his first one the following week, so I tweeted him and said I was glad my coaching had worked so quickly. He was kind enough to reply with Thanks and a laughing emoji.
I was having dinner at Fishers Restaurant in Bristol in June and Stephen Merchant was eating there.
I have played golf with Garry Bailey, Sean Pollock and Andre Watson (Rugby referee) at corporate golf events.
I was introduced to Bailey as a Brighton fan and his first comment was that 1983 must have been a bad year for me. I made the introductory speech at the evening reception, explained the history of Bailey and the 83 cup final and told the room that Brighton didn't win because he dived the wrong way and the ball hit his legs by accident. I also snuck in a comment about his nickname of Dracula because he hated crosses. Tbf, he's a nice guy and took it in good spirits.

I once walked past Ian Rush on Whitechapel in Liverpool.
He didn't recognise me.
