What are the weirdest compliments you've ever received?

Post Reply New Topic

My grandmother said that I had "the prettiest set of lips I ever saw--too bad they wasn't sitting on a woman."

When I was a young teen, I visited Florida. Some older man said I was a really, good-lookin' bit of Bugazza. I thought he was talking about my Bi-raciality. Bugazza is Cuban for the female part. I might have the spelling wrong but does it really matter? I found out later that for the Greeks "Bugazza" is some sort of delicious, cream-filled pastry and Gotza means "sit-down" where Gotza in Italian is "balls". Diversity can be hilarious. Here you are standing in line for cake and you end up with something quite different.

'you look like a chibi character when you smile'

Me to boy from school: Oh, I like your new hair cut.
Boy from school: Thanks, you have really big boobs.

Rezdis, was that a post for each one?

I was told (as a compliment) that I'll eat anything that doesn't escape!

You'd be really cute, if you were a man!

That I'm stick thin. "supposedly a complement." but I find that very offending.

You really have no problem being odd as, I find it unpleasant from a mild standpoint..

I don't usually draw in public anymore but when I do I get odd compliments like...

Some guy: Aw man you have to become a tattoo artist... I'd love to have that dragon on my back.
Me: Er... thanks... it's an alien.

A female friend: Hey you're really good. Could you draw a design for a tattoo that I want done on my chest?
Me:

I was just trying to go to sleep when I remembered this odd compliment. I've had quite a few Christians tell me...

"You look like Jesus".

...Yeah I'm not sure how they know what Jesus looks like but I'm guessing they are saying I look like how he is depicted in art and stuff. I've only gotten this compliment when my hair is very long. I understand it's supposed to be a compliment since they are practically saying you look like the cool guy from church... but I'm not a Christian and for some reason this compliment bugs me

Why are your arms like that for, that does not appear to be normal..

"I like that you talk in the third person."

I've been told by a random stranger in the street, that I have "beautiful, long hands."

A few years ago, at a previous job, I was talking with a co-worker and I made an observation about another co-worker's behavior, and how said behavior changes depending on the presence or absence of certain other people. This is how my co-worker responded,
"I think you're right. You know, you're really bright. You have value. There are some people here who think that you're .... that you're... ummm... not aware, but they're wrong! You are bright! You do have value!" Ummm, thanks??

Years ago, when I was a twelve year old kid at summer camp, one of my eyes started giving me trouble to the point that I determined that I must have conjunctivitis (pink-eye). I went to the infirmary, and they had me wait for the doctor. When the doctor showed up I told him that I thought I had conjunctivitis. He examined my eye, then told me that I'm good at diagnosing things. Hmmm...

When I was seventeen and attending a summer program for high school students on a college campus, a girl there told me that I'm "like a female Woody Allen."

I've received plenty of strange compliments over the years. Those are just a few of many possible examples I could give.

"You've got an awful nice forehead. It's got that Boland look about it."

"I really like broad shouldered girls like you"
