What are the weirdest compliments you've ever received?

"You're like a book that never ends"

I was at a Chicken Express, and one of the cashiers said to me " You looked Steve Carell from The Office "

"You have an exceptionally fine manner of sitting."

WTF

Tough to answer, since some things people say to me, could either be a compliment or an insult. Depends on who said it, and in what context, I guess.

Lately, a strange (much older) woman in a sandwich shop stared at my boots, and I thought she was going to tell me I had a wad of gum that I was tracking in, or something... She said "My God, I've never seen feet that big... You know what they say about men with big feet; Are you married"? I was wearing size 15E steel toe work boots, which look bigger than they would in regular shoes. I politely said I am HAPPILY married, and that I don't think "what they say about men with big feet" is necessarily true. I guess that was a compliment, but I didn't care for it since it made me embarrassed and uncomfortable.

The kind of compliments I like are more to do with something I'm doing, or working with... Maybe like when our veterinarian tells me that my wife and I did the best possible job to care for a pet when sick, or that I did a good job restoring an old car, or things like that. Although it's kind of ironic, I'm a bodybuilder and keep in what I'd like to call excellent shape; washboard stomach and all, but I get uncomfortable when people "notice" at the wrong time. Somebody told me last Tuesday that if he could have a picture with my shirt off, he could sell it for big $$$ at a gallery. I half-jokingly said OK, if he promises to give the money to a charity. (No, I'm not really going to do that!! !! !)

"If I were Rodan I'd smash everything to get to you"

"I like your donuts."

my friend Ryan just said this to me rofl

(You look like someone whom I used to know ) Personally, it makes me feel like I'm not that unique or such..

I have a friend who worked as a teaching assistant in a school for autistic children for a year. She told me once that I reminded her of one of the children there.

What's wrong with your mouth as, why do you talk and smile crooked?

A lady coworker told me and another male coworker that we had "perfect fingernails. Too bad theyre wasted on guys!"

When I was in Grade 8, some girls said that I looked like Ringo Starr. He's short, he has blue eyes and a big nose and he had a beard at the time. I don't look like Ringo. I have brown eyes, I'm 5ft9 ish and I have an average sized nose.

I have never seen anybody with so high arched eyebrows! by one girl.

When I was twelve, I got a really ugly haircut. Some guy told me that I looked like a member of the Beatles, and I don't know whether he meant it in a nice way or if he was saying that my haircut sucked.

not Ringo.... Mick!! !! !

My ex said I was her sweet disturbed psycho a few times
