This fan's encounter with Matthew Broderick will make you feel sorry for Jerry Seinfeld

On Monday morning, Twitter user @HonoredSpirit took the time to share a hysterical story about a friend's encounter with Matthew Broderick— and one of his very famous friends—in a convenience store.

"A few years ago a friend of mine took his family out to Montauk on vacation and had stopped at a little store to get snacks, etc, and who do they see but that Star of Stage and Screen, Matthew Broderick...," @HonoredSpirit wrote. Broderick kindly agreed to take a photograph with the fan's daughter, even though he was shopping with his friend.

"...this is a once in a lifetime photo and he wants it to be just right so he asks Broderick's friend to kind of move to the side a bit out of frame, and he moves a bit," @HonoredSpirit continued in his epic. "And my friend says, just a little more, a little more, keeps doing the nudging motion with his hand. Lots of nudging. Okay he won't move any father, fine, we can crop him out..." 

Turns out, those nudges might have been the biggest mistake of all time. 

The photo that this friend took back to show off to family included Broderick, yes, but upon closer inspection, Broderick's "friend" happens to be the one and only Jerry Seinfeld, Broderick's Bee movie conspirator and just one of the most lauded comedians. Yet there he is casually pushed to the side, awkwardly holding a plastic bag.  

At least this fan's loss was our gain, and fans of Seinfeld had a field day with the photo on Twitter. 

Better luck next time, Jerry.
