weirdest compliment youve ever received?

[nuke]

A guy once told me I had "Husky Eyes". I said "So are you calling me a dog?"

A great aunt when told I'd lost 150# said "Oh, really? You look much better but you still need to lose another 25#"

I'm a size freaking 12 and that's average! WTH is wrong with that?

My DH tells me all the time he loves my "big ole butt". Somehow that doesn't feel like a compliment event though he says it is.

I have had the 'perfect eyebrow' compliment...my face is just that bad the only nice thing on it is my eyebrows? How is that possible?

My best friend had a guy, that she had known for some time and had a crush on, tell her that she was very smart and fun to hang out with...then ruined it by saying 'If you ever lost weight, you'd be a triple threat, hot, smart and fun!' I commended her for not decking him right there in the bar.

I'm reminded as I'm reading all these (and rotfl) of the old adage, "If you can't say something nice..."

After 60 hours of labor the surgeon assisting my Dr. with my C-Section say's as he is cutting me open, "My you have a nice anatomy" I guess I HAD alot of stomach muscles. All I could say was "Why thank you".

My DH says "you can clean the toilet, darling, you're much better at it than I am". Oh, thanks a lot!

I was told I had excellent eyebrows and should never pluck.

My mom gave me a great compliment last week. Granted she had just had back surgery that morning and she was all doped up on pain meds...I came in her hospital room and she said "You actually look normal now....like if I was decribing you to someone I would say you were heavy anymore...just normal size" I've lost 30 lbs, so I guess that was nice, and I have to forgive her because of the drugs, but it was still a weird way to say something.

Hmmm, thanks.

I got one last week kind of like this. I was standing in line at a clothing store getting ready to pay, and the lady in front of me said, "I'm buying this for my daughter and I'm trying to figure out what size she wears. You look like you're her size-- do you mind if I ask what size you wear?" and I told her I was a 4/6, depending on the brand, and she stared at me for a second and said "Well, I guess she's bigger than you. Sorry."

Stranger: Your kids are beautiful

Me: Thank you!

Stranger: They look nothing like you

Me: ummm, thanks?

When I was 8 months pregnant a woman told me I "looked so cute with a double chin!!!!!"

 

[Serena]

How about this one from the mom of one of my closest friends. She was dead serious and meant it as a compliment. She told me I was shaped for breeding.

 

[bellacam]

Serena, LOL! I got the "good breeding hips" from my Irish great granny at 15! With my good hips and fantastic earlobes, I was quite the catch!

I got a sort of strange compliment from a complete stranger this morning. First, let me state that I am overweight. Working on losing it has been a real struggle.

Amyway, I was walking at the track this morning and this girl walked by said "Good morning. You know, you're awesome." I looked at her funny--I never saw her before in my life--how does she know how "awesome" I am? She said, "I think everyone needs to be told that. I lost 70 pounds doing 20 minutes a day." Then she ran off. Huh?

I've been alternately smiling and scratching my head all day long!

I'm sure she thought she was being helpful and it was sweet in an odd sort of way. OTOH, it made me feel like I stood out like a sore thumb. Well, I probably do, but don't point it out to me!

 

[Serena]

Bellacam, LOL!

My mom once told me that my son (age 2 at the time) smelled like "hot little boy". I told not to say that he smells bad. Then she said, "he doesn't smell bad, i like that smell." How can "hot, little boy" NOT be a bad smell? Grandmothers are crazy.

One of my customers recently floored me. BTW, he's the flaky professor type....He walks in says "Hi, how are you today, oh and by the way your eyebrows are looking nice today."
HUH?! All I could say was 'You do know they are mostly drawn on, don't you?'
I reckon that's the only complimentary thing he found that he could say to me that day......

I get backhanded compliments all the time. This "friend" of mine is notorious for them. This one came from her a couple of months ago. She was talking about this friend of hers, and she was saying that she didn't really think that the woman was attractive at all, but she did concede that she might have a certain sex appeal about her. I thought that was about the most underhanded compliment I had heard in I don't know when, when she decided to throw in for good measure "you know, she kind of reminds me of you!"

I didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but in the end, considered the source, and decided to laugh.

This one hits home. This one guy I had a thing with way back when (college days) told me that while he wouldn't consider me classically beautiful, I apparently "ooze" sex appeal.

I don't even recall what I said in response, if anything. I do remember he was a scrawny, annoying jerk and I wish I had delicately pointed it out to him.

I went to visit friends from my old job (in a school), a woman there had been out the year I was pregnant. After I ran into her for the 2nd time she said to me " Congratulations I didn't know you had triplets, I said to Phyllis, Gee Tara put on a little weight and then she told me you had triplets. Wow, you really look great for having triplets.

Gee thanks, even if you said that, why would you tell me, and I guess if I only had 1 baby I would look like c**p

When my 3rd child was about a year old I had a friend (at least I thought she was a friend) tell me that my son had really become cuter and that he'd been such an unattractive baby. Several of us moms were out to lunch and could not believe that this person had said that. Nobody really said much, we were stunned. Later, though, we (the other moms, not the one who said it) got the best laugh and we continue to get a good laugh even though it was 10 years ago. BTW, my son wasn't an ugly baby, but he had SO much hair and looked like a little man when he was a baby. Also, he was very fat as an infant, which looked a little funny. Any what was ironic was that this ladies kids were the most homely kids that I'd ever seen. But, I did take the high road and didn't point that out to her.
