He was genuinely so excited to tell me and it made me love him even more.

32. I’m blocked by Chris D’Elia on everything, and he recorded it.

After seeing his Man on Fire special, I commented on his Instagram post “Man on Fire wasn’t great”. That’s it. Just my opinion on his special, although his previous work and podcasts are amazing. So he goes through the thousands of comments, sees mine, and blocks me on instagram. I find out weeks later. One day he tweets something and I reply “wait can you unblock me on IG?” He replies with a laugh and blocks me on twitter as well. The worst part is, he recorded himself blocking my twitter and posts it on Instagram. I can’t link you because I’m blocked, but scroll down to around June and you’ll see the video.

43. Blocked by Mike Doughty who is a musician and former frontman of a band in the 90s/00s called Soul Coughing.

The band broke up and most of the members hate him so he’s really bitter about Soul Coughing songs (he did a lot of drugs too so I think it Soul Coughing in general brings up a lot of bad memories).

He tweeted that he was reminiscing and listening to SC songs and how they were all shit. I replied and just mentioned that I had really fond memories of rocking out to SC while I was working at Subway in high school and he replied asking me if I wanted him to feel differently? Weird response but I replied again and said something to the effect of “absolutely not. You feel how you feel and that’s fine. Just pointing out that people tend to be their own worst critic”.

Blocked.

No shit. Like 2 months later the fucking dude released an album of him “covering” Soul Coughing songs solo.

It was so dumb. The dude owes 90% of his fanbase to the success of SC and when he went solo covered their stuff all the time. Bummed me out because I was a big fan and just wanted to be supportive.

44. Asked Sean Price to block me so he replied ‘done’ and then blocked me. RIP Sean Price

Instantly meaning in under 30 seconds.
