What are the weirdest compliments you've ever received?

Post Reply New Topic

When I was a child, people said to my mother that she had a cute daughter

Nice hair is a pretty strange compliment when one considers the current state of my head. But there it is, I get it all the time.

You're like a goddamn ninja I've gotten from a few different people over the course of my life. But I think it's pretty apt honestly, one of the few compliments I can accept without a sarcastic aside.

I can see you thinking.I cant hear you but I can diffenitely see you...and WOW
'you have intense eyes'...'you have dramatic cheekbones'

wait...is the first ^^ a compliment or just a really wierd observation...?

My best friend says I am wierd but have a great personality and should not change it. ...Wierd and proud of it.

I've had girls walk upto me and say similar things about my eye lashes, they seem to be jealous about their natural curves.

"I like hanging out with you because you have an innocent mind... well, not innocent... but one not corrupted by society."

Those weren't the persons exact words but there was more I guess... I just can't remember everything they said.

I think it was meant to be a compliment.

someone once told me that i do this thing with my tongue when i smile. I asked what the hell they were talking about b/c i still haven't figured it out... they said they weren't going to tell me b/c he thought is was cute and said i might stop it if i knew what it was. ERRR!

"You look exceptionally clean!"

I get the thing about the fingernails too.

I would have to say that I got some odd compliments when I was in "Team Sports" and weightlifting. I had a reputation for being fast as hell so some kids when playing football were like "watch out for that kid that runs like you stole his weed" and another time I was running laps with some guys beating them and they were like "how did you get so fast? are you on roids?". My weightlifting coach called me "Army Strong" after a lap once and then lectured the class on how the armed forces need fit young men and women like me if I recall correctly. I also on a couple occassions had football players pretty much cheerleading for me when I was doing some 115lb hand cleans (it was a set of like 20).

Then well....a certain something has been called too big, "freakish huge" (by at least 2 people - my ex-friend Ryan and my first), PRETTY, and beautiful. Hell a guy who just told me a few days before that his bicurious days were over revised that statement over a pic. I had a gay friend who told me what he'd do to me if I wasn't straight.

I get a lot of strange compliments on my hands/fingers. Earlier this year my aunt said I would make a great hand model, and once when I was a kid I was told by another kid's mom that I had "piano fingers". My mom says I have unusually long thumbs and that the girth of my fingers is "so small they're like child fingers".

The other day I put on a beanie as a joke, and my mom told me at least three times throughout the day how adorable I looked in it. Then today she even bought me a beanie with kitty ears on it. Needless to say, I wear a beanie all the time now.

Also, my brother once told me that I eat very peacefully.

I get a lot of compliments on my hands, too. Apparently I have very long fingers. Sometimes people say they are artist's or pianist's fingers.

That's funny--I've been told I have artist's hands because of how small they are. Better control of pens and other tools, they say.

I think a number of people are mentioning compliments which really aren't very weird at all. Although some of them are very entertaining.

Ha, I just noticed this, made me laugh.

I find it interesting that quite a few people here have gotten compliments on their hands. Growing up I had always gotten compliments on my hands for my fingers being long or I've even gotten compliments on my nails. I have long slim fingers and nails. I've been told I have guitarists hands or pianists hands... never artist hands though. Oddly I'm an artist much more so than a musician

Although I don't think I ever found these compliments to be odd

* that I smelt like a special education classroom.
* that I looked like a tube of cucumber mayonnaise.
* that I have a wonderful style of dressing.
... I took them as compliments.

Upon expressing my desire to visit Eihei-ji (a temple started by Japan's founder of modern Zen):

"Oh, I love that temple. It's quiet and the monks there seem very pure and peaceful. You have the same atmosphere."

An exaggeration, I'm sure, but a flattering one.
