Never mind the time you won an Oscar or a Nobel Prize, were you on some obscure TV show or did you bump in to a C-list celebrity in Tesco?
The best I can come up with is being interviewed by a Belgian TV channel outside a football match but I have absolutely no idea why they picked me out. Whatever the reason, for those 60 seconds I was famous.
So what's your dubious claim to fame?

I won a national competition in a popluar teen girls mag as an Avril Lavigne lookalike (note, I didn't really look much like her then and I really, really don't now! It's amazing what clothing and makeup can do!). But I got a free trip to London and a photoshoot out of it!
I was also part of a segment on The One Show where I was interviewed about human dissection at my university. Quotes from the piece also went into the accompanying article in the Daily Mail.
