What weird thing do you get complimented on?

[Pinchycrab]

Not a stealth brag. I have had numerous people say how wonderful my pushchair looks, "ooh! I've never seen one like that before, they weren't like that in my day" kind of thing (so mainly people that haven't recently had kids, and also by a pregnant lady). Thing is, what they are amazed at is a bog standard infant carrier car seat on a very basic metal pushchair frame!

I did have a nice carrycot (tweedy type) on it once that a very hipster bloke complimented me on as a 'mix of vintage and modern'. But it's always the car seat. I don't get it.

Anyone else get anything like this?

People always compliment me on how young I look. I’m 42 and people never believe me when I tell them.
Sometimes it’s great, other times it’s embarrassing, especially in a professional - is work - situation.
I never seem to get taken seriously, which is annoying, as I have over 20 years experience in my industry.

I'm 40 but often told I look no older than 23 or 24. It's ok though because to balance it out I'm a size 24 and therefore invisible.

My DH and Ds both have lovely long curled eyelashes. Mine are long but won't hold a curl and stick straight out... Bah

My parenting 😂 😂 !!! But only on buses and only by old ladies and I have to say my bus parenting would probably piss off half of MN. We spend a lot of it singing our reciting my made up stories.
Also DS is visibly disabled so from a generation where children like mine wouldn't have lived, I get extra good Mum points on principle.

Of course I'm not an extra good Mum, and they don't see us when I'm a less good Mum, but it's nice someone sees a moment that makes them smile and that thry share that

My eyebrows as well - no beautician ever comments on my hooves, or my nails or my skin or anything, but every single time I get my eyebrows done they go into rhapsodies about them.

They are naturally enormous and I expect when fashions change they won't be such a good point anymore.

Apparently I'm very diplomatic and have the patience of a saint.

(They clearly can't hear me rant like a mother fucker when out of ear shot).

My organisational skills! I think I'm pretty disorganised, but I do plan ahead.

My hands and feet. My feet stopped growing at a size 2.

Also my earrings. I've only got one pair. My husband bought me them for a wedding gift. They are small gold and diamond hoops that have never left my ears since our wedding day over 30 years ago. I have a lot of compliments for them.

I think some people need to learn what the word 'weird' means.

Nothing remotely weird about being complimented for looking younger than your years, or having good looking children or nice teeth or eyes

You can't help yourselves can you

I always get complimented on my juicy, easy-to-find veins when I give blood.

A particular necklace I wear gets complimented on alot.

My Mum often compliments me on the top I wear - but only if she bought it for me.

My knowledge of remembering the other children's names in my class, from 62 years ago.

Several people have told me I always look somewhat naked and sexy, even when I’m wearing lots of clothes They hastily follow that up with “it’s a really good thing!” in a reassuring voice. I don’t know how to respond or what I can do about it.

I also have a lovely email style, apparently.

Most weird and strangely happened twice now.. both on public transport.

"Dont you have lovely ears? Theyre so perfectly formed"... uhmm..thanks? Spose i only see them from the front

@UselessTrees I get complimented on how fast my blood flows when giving blood.

Apparently I have very nice veins according to a phlebotomist.
I also get complimented on my gravy, but never by a phlebotomist

I pride my self on my cup of teas, they're the best. I got stopped the other day to be told my walk, hair and face were unreal and incredible. That was nice 💁🏼‍♀️😂

I have a silk scarf which measures about 1.5m by 75 cm (I can use it as a sarong) is rainbow coloured. EVERY time I wear it I get compliments. From shop assistants, people in the street. Even a little lad of 2/3 in a pushchair on the bus got very excited pointing at it and saying 'wainbow' and a little girl in the post office queue told me my scarf was lovely. I love rainbows!

My chocolate brownies. As they should, because they are truly the best brownies in the world...

My sister was told by a hairdresser that the back of her head was lovely

My skin! A girl unknowingly to me, drew me and showed me. She said wow your skin is amazing! I had a few spots as well but I seem to get it a lot!

I once got complimented on my voice by a waiter. I was paying at the end of a meal and the waiter said he'd been listening to my voice all night and it was really lovely. I was utterly taken aback by this - thought he might be taking the piss, but if he was I couldn't tell - because I have zero singing voice and can't carry a tune. Apparently my speaking voice is nice, though!
