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?

I have been complimented on my stamina for staying in a swimming pool with my children. One on occasion, we'd been there for nearly 3 hours and one of the lifeguards said that he never recognised people in the swimming pool, but he always spots us when we're there because we stay in for so long!

My roast potatoes (from ds who thinks they are the best).

Today I got complimented on my calming voice (by a patient at work, when I was actually very busy and feeling rather stressed!)

And oddly, a necklace given to me by my sister. My sister has given me several necklaces, all lovely, mostly from the same shop. But for some reason one particular necklace always attracts positive attention.

Working full time when I have small DC. Most of the other women in my team who have had kids have left or have been ruthlessly managed out. I'm one of the last mums standing and the only one with 2 DC under 5. I often get told "I don't know how you do it with 2, you're amazing" by the women who are childfree or currently only have 1 DC.

I actually loathe working. The work itself is fine and very well paid. I just don't want to work for a living right now and I certainly don't feel amazing.

Apparently my nail on my little finger is really attractive (ex boyfriend many many moons ago!)
I also have been complimented on my ability to swear beautifully in a melodious tone and weirdest of all my cervix is lovely.
Random enough OP?

A lady in the pub complimented me on the shape of my babies head once. Said I must have done a good job pushing it out

When DP and I are out together we have on too many occasions to count had people tell is how much of a lovely couple we are. We are nothing special physically (of course I think DP is gorgeous but hes not exactly model material ) but they always say it seems as though we genuinely love each other and we are a good "match".

Also had one of my university lecturers approach me at work (i work on the bar in a busy restaurant) and say he is in awe of me for studying/working/raising the kids. I almost cried

My organisation skills. The funny thing is that really I’m not very organised, I just manage to only just keep my head above water.
My accent

My metabolism, had two kids and back to a size 6 in two weeks both times, none of my friends can believe it and once I tell people I have two kids it's the first thing they compliment, I will grieve for it when it's gone 😂😂

My nipples have been complimented by midwives and BF support workers. Apparently they're text book 'perfect' for BFing... (Unfortunately, however, my once 'perfect' nipples are now rather scarred by battle wounds caused by DS's tongue tie... Perfect nipples can't help with that!)

Haircuts. There's nothing great about my hair ever, but I think once a year (after visit to hairdresser) my hair doesn't look dreadful & then I get a flurry of positive comments.

Apparently DD who looks the spit of DH has my eyebrows (comment from MIL). My hair is very fair so basically I have no eyebrows naturally!

My chicken liver pate.

My gift giving skills. The thing with the gifts is that often they are not expensive and in some cases free.

Giving an "empathetic no".

My job involves having to rein people in, and channel them to certain processes, so i often have to say no to ideas, but apparently I always sound sorry and like I care (I do not care).

My friend was told at a smear test that she had a “lovely long vagina”.

I get complimented on my long fingers, which is weird because they are actually quite fat and stubby. I do have long nail beds, though, so maybe it’s an optical illusion.

How amazing and virile my husband is to get me pregnant with two so close together.

My kitchen windowsill!
An elderly lady walks past my house now and again and always looks in and smiles ( kitchen is at front ) and one day she said
" you have a lovely windowsill dear, always looks so pretty, I do love a clean looking house " I smiled and said thank you of course.
Went back in to inspect my masterpiece which consisted of a nice vase with pink lilies, a mason jar full of tea lights with a ribbon tied around the top and a hot pink flamingo ornament!
It's now my pride and joy

Oh yes and also my daughters curls. If I had a pound for every time she has been complimented i would be living in a mansion and she's only 8 tomorrow.

My curly hair when it is down loose - I also get comments from people I know when I straighten it or tie it up as they prefer it curly. To me it looks like a birds nest.

Two recent ones at work - both of which I have heard numerous times before. I speak good nerd (explaining tech subjects to non-techs) and being resilient (think this means I am a bull in a china shop and not easily set back despite obstacles!).

Apparently I have great veins...according to various health professionals taking blood. Ok, great.....

Oh yes I’ve got good veins too apparently! I’d forgotten about that.

DH was told he had beautiful veins (needed IV morphine at the time). Due to being generally skinny.

How weird. Just like hazandduck above, I was weirdly complimented this week by a hairdresser about how much water my hair retained and how it was taking forever to dry. And my hair is only chin length.
