I almost smashed into Robin Williams at the only computer store in Northern California in 1982.

I was walking around the game case while staring at the contents with 100% of my concentration only to realize at last second that I was about to suffer an imminent collision with someone. I look up and it's the guy who I watched on Mork and Mindy growing up.

The look on his face was something along the lines of 'who the hell is this weirdo'. I was so mortified.

Bonus, he died on the same day that I was part of a much suckier collision (5 car pile up that left me with permanent injuries).
