For a long time celebrities have been handing out authentic signatures to fans but every now and again they get a request which is bit weird. While some celebs refuse others accept the crazy requests.
1. A TOILET SEAT
According to the eBayer who put up this item for sale, Sister Hazel performed a concert at Wingate University a while back. At some point, they needed to use the bathroom, and the eBayer’s apartment was nearby—so as a thank you, they signed his toilet seat. As of the time of this writing, the item is going for $58.50, but there are still four days left for the price to skyrocket.
2. A DOG
NASCAR racer Kasey Kahne says he “thought it was weird to sign a dog. He didn’t have much hair, so [I was] signing his back—that was kind of odd.”
3. A TWINKIE
What’s weirder than autographing a sealed Twinkie? Going on eBay to bid on a Twinkie you already autographed. But that’s what baseball player David Price did after the Hostess shutdown in 2012.
While Yahoo News doesn’t have a report on whether or not the pitcher actually won the Twinkie, or even if he actually bid on it (the final bid ended at $56), he did say in his Twitter account that if he won the item, he would save it and give it to his kids at some point. I don’t know about you, but I can’t think of any more meaningful thing for a father to give his child than a Twinkie he signed.
When asked if that was the weirdest thing he ever signed, Price said that honor went to a baby’s forehead.
4. A GRILLED CHEESE
Los Angeles Kings (and Team USA) goalie Jonathan Quick says someone once asked him to sign a grilled cheese sandwich. “It wouldn’t be that bad if it was still intact, but there were two bites taken out of it, and he handed it to me,” Quick said. “There was still saliva on it. So that was kinda weird.”
5. BABIES
As it turns out, people asking professional athletes to sign their babies isn’t as rare as you might think. Here’s a photo from NBA Summer League with NBA player Nate Robinson signing one, though I suppose he should be glad it’s only the kid’s back.
According to basketball player Marcin Gortat, “I recently signed a forehead of a freshly born baby, which was ridiculous. And I said, ‘Why would you want to do that?’ and the lady said, ‘It’s gonna be a sign he’s gonna be a basketball player.’ So, for some reason, I don’t know why I signed it, why I did it, I felt bad for this kid. But at the end of the day I realized I would never do this again.” Probably a good policy.
6. A FAST FOOD CONTAINER
Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco autographs a lot of stuff. But the weirdest, he says, was a Filet-O-Fish box from McDonald’s.
7. A DIAPER
For those who want the powers and prowess of a top athlete to wear off on their infant, but don’t want their babies to be signed directly, there’s always diapers. And during the last Olympic games, one lucky fan was able to win a diaper autographed by U.S. Olympic goldmedalistsr Noelle Pikus-Pace and Chad Hedrick courtesy of And Twins Make 5.
No word on whether or not the winner actually used the diaper on their baby or not.
8. A TAMPON

You might not have ever heard of The FP and you might not ever see the movie. But while the filmmakers, the Trost Bros., may not be household names, there’s still a reason you might care about their autographs—they come on a tampon when you buy the DVD from Drafthouse films. Apparently, there’s a meaningful scene in the movie involving a tampon.
9. A JOCK STRAP
Rugby player Ben Cohen once signed a jock strap, but that’s not quite as dirty as it sounds—he signed it for a charity auction to support GMFA, a gay men’s health charity in Britain. The jock strap must have garnered some good interest because it went for $460.
10. UNDERWEAR
Speaking of undergarments, Baseball Hall of Famer Jim Palmer once signed a pair of underwear (unworn, though), which were sold on eBay last August. In case you’re wondering how much a pair of autographed tighty-whiteys can go for, these specific ones sold for $69.99.
11. A LEATHER WHIP
Hockey player Karl Alzner of the Washington Capitals says he was once asked to sign a woman’s leather whip. “It was odd,” he said. “I don’t know what it was for and I don’t want to think about it.”
12. A SOCK
You have to be a real fan to want a sock signed by your favorite athlete. Oddly, professional wrestler Mick Foley actually autographed a number socks at one point—enough to have them individually numbered and sold on the Walmart website.
Foley’s socks were new though, but a recent eBay auction had a listing for a game-worn autographed sock from NHL player John McIntyre. Apparently even the most diehard fans know how bad a sock shoved in hockey skates for a whole game will smell, because this one-of-a-kind piece of sports memorabilia only went for $21.
13. A VIBRATOR
Lots of ladies love Sons of Anarchy star Charlie Hunnam, but only one of them was happy to have him sign their vibrator and post a photo of it on Tumblr. If you’re wondering what an actor might write on such an item, Charlie scribbled out “Have Fun.” For the sake of being SFW, I’m going to omit this image, but if you want to see him autographic the item in question or the finished signature, just visit the River of Life Tumblr link here.
14. A PROSTHETIC LEG
Mark McGwire, one of the all-time home run hitting champions of baseball, once signed a fan’s prosthetic leg.
15. A CAR DASHBOARD
San Jose Sharks’ Dan Boyle once autographed the dashboard of a car for a fan—and not just any car, but a really nice, expensive one. “It was like, an Aston Martin or something,” he said.
