I went Jack Rabbit (Not a Vibrator place but a sneaker store) On 7th ave in Brooklyn to get some new Sneakers for my Sloan Kettering 5K on sunday and the Gentleman in the store said I had very nice Calves. The exact quote was they are nice and very muscular.
It's my first compliment about my apperance since I started working out from someone who wasnt a family member or friend. So I was very happy yet freaked out.I thanked him very kindly but I wanted to get the fuck out of there.
It got me to thinking has anyone ever been complimented yet totally freaked out by it?

When I was 16 I was at Valleyfair (MN version of 6 flags). I used the waterpark and then went to rinse off. I was showering and a long haired, 40 to 50 year old man wearing a shirt that said "I love Jesus" approached me. He said "You have nice pecs." I was taken back but replied with a polite "Thank you."
Then he said, "Really, you have a very nice chest. Can I touch your pecs?"
I made a very quick exit and found my friends to tell them about the crazy, old gay Jesus lover.
I was freaked out and not at all flattered by his comments.

And yet you love mine. :wub:
Blowhard always tells me that I look like a scumbag but I'm actually a nice guy, if that counts for anything.

I was working the morgue the other night and this guy comes in wearing a walkman and humming to himself; he takes a picture off my desk;
Him: "Is this you wife?"
Me; "Yes"
Him: "Nice Frame"

When I was 16, I was drunk at the fireworks on the 4th of July. This black kid from the city was up for the weekend and hanging out with all of us. At one point he began rubbing my back and saying how cool I was. Years later, I was hit on again by an older black gentleman at a bar. I guess gay black men like me.

i recently gave out a weird compliment to one of my clients. she had the tiniest, smoothest, adorable li'l feet... no callouses or any funk, so once i started my reflexology, i said, i dont mean to sound creepy, but you have the cutest little feet i've ever seen. she nervously laughed and said thanks.

I guess an appropriate compliment for this story would be, "You're not as Gay as you used to be."

Instead of people telling me I have nice eyes they I have gotten the "are those your real eyes?" or "are you wearing contacts?"
Like a person can't have green eyes, pish posh!

When I was around 13 years old my friend's mom told me I had really nice eyebrows. I thought that was weird at the time, but I guess they are ok because I've never had to wax them or anything to "shape" them.

Besides the typical stuff(omgz ur eyez), I have gotten complimented on my neck.
In Eighth grade i was at my best friend's house with another one of our friends from school that i had grown up with.
The girl from school and I were sitting on the ground with our legs in the pool talking and chilling, amidst the dainty splashing she was like "You have really great toes, they're perfectly ascending!".
I get it now, i do have lovely hands and feet but it was such a fucking random thing to say, especially at 14.

I'm a massage therapist and I sometimes compliment people on their feet if they're like really smooth and soft. i get some real funky ones sometimes.
I've also been complimented on my eyelashes, which is weird because I'm a frickin guy and it doesn't seem like a compliment.
Oh, and I was also once told by this hot chick that i took a really long piss...I just came right in my pants.

Years ago two guys mentioned something about my calves.
I was walking up the ramp at the Pavonia/Newport Path station when I heard one guy say, "Wow! Look at her calves!" The next guy said, "Yeah, but look at her thighs." Fucktard.
Also my ex-husband once said I looked better without make-up than Pam Anderson did.

*sigh* I get, rather often: "you have the potential to be such a gorgeous girl, but....", normally followed by pointing to the tattoos. I used to be creative with my retorts, lately i've resorted to:
"... i've taken offense to your compliment gone awry, you have 3 secs before the fists of fury permeate your skull and remind you that if you can't say something nice, don't talk to the pissy tattoo'd chick"
"...but....i'm not fucking you, so you figured your give me a half ass compliment?'
"And you have the potential to be knee'd in the nuts so hard that it pops out those pretty <color> eyes."
"...*blinks* die *shimmy's away*"
*shrug* I like my tattoos. I don't understand why an oddly high number of people at random points find it necessary to tell me this sort of thing. I mean, if they were offering free removal or something, ok, but why do people feel the need to let me know this? It's almost equivilant to to going up to a obese person and telling them "you have the potential to be such a pretty person, but you are a fucking fat ass".
Oh, nothing beats "OMG I WANNA BITE THAT ASS!!!". This is how i lost my grande coffee frappicino to someones head.

I called AngelAmy a rock star just the other night...
This was the conrversation almost word for word I had with a barternder in Manhattan, referring to a girl she worked with (only my name has been changed because nobody else is innocent)..I don't really know either one very well..
Ellen: Who did you leave with on Friday night? Rosemary right?
Me: Ahh, Okay.. Why.
Ellen: Because she told me she brought you home, and she told me what you did..
Me: What did I do?
Ellen: You're comming home with me tonight and you're gonna do the same thing to
me..
Me: What did I do?
Ellen: She said you ate her out so good, she thought you massaged her fallopian
tubes..
Me: Let me get this straight..You're taking me home tonight based on word of mouth
alone?
Ellen: Nope..Word of tounge..
I think the fallopian tupe reference is what made it such an odd and memerable compliment..Needless to say Ellen did not go to sleep unhappy that night..It was not too long after this that they showed up at my door together drunk and looking for a third..That's the best compliment of all..:happy:

I've been told that I should be a hand model. Thing is, my tiny hands and stubby fingers make Vos' look like a pianist's.
I've also been complimented on my eyelashes, which is weird because I'm a frickin guy and it doesn't seem like a compliment.
My stepbrother has lovely lashes as well, very long and full. Of course, the rest of his face isn't so great, so he has to have one good feature.

Two other things I thought of; not compliments, just weird.
My last semester of college I decided I was going to take a painting course. There was one girl I always stood next to as we painted. We chatted a little. She was nice but one day she said, "I'd LOVE to paint you! You look so ELIZABETHAN." Is that just another word for very pale?
Flash forward 5 years. I was out looking for another job (after quitting under duress). ANYHOO-- after yet another awful interview I stopped in a coffee shop and took out my journal to right down the days events. So as I'm sitting there, a guy comes up and sits at my table and asks what I'm doing. I said, "Uhhh, writing...?"
"What are you writing?"
"Errr, just my thoughts. And maybe a few crappy short stories and bad poems."
He rambled on about writing and books and then concluded with, "OHHH, so you're post-modern."

I get this one too. Guess what, the tattoos don't come off, so shut up. Why would a stranger try to induce a form of tattoo regret? What is that about?
There should never be a "but" or "if" in a compliment, and you know old ladies don't stroll up to biker guys and say they'd be handsome young men if they hadn't ruined their skin.<p>
