Agh, it's none of these, but "Alien" made me giggle. "Compliant" is closest.
I was in the post office with my best behaved girl (bbg). Nothing new about the experience to any of us, except I don't go out much so I still find wearing a mask a very preoccupying experience and I guess this is why I interpreted the situation the way I did.
Bbg and I were patiently waiting, we were next and she was sitting next to me. I wasn't paying her any attention. My turn came and I somewhat perfunctorially stepped forward, said hello and presented my package with the return label showing and placed it on the scales. At this point the teller said "so compliant"(or whatever the word was, it was so much funnier to my ear!) I wasn't thinking of my dog, i was feeling conspicuous in my mask so was preoccupied with myself, and upon hearing this statement I thought "now that's an odd sort of compliment"

I did say it was a mildly funny anecdote!
