What's the smallest compliment you've had?

[BigDahliaFan]

I got told yesterday by the girl doing my nails that I had lovely long nail beds. I'm not even sure what a nail bed is but I'll take it.

Well, I have 'textbook jaw anatomy' apparently, and the same dentist also congratulated me for realising that I want the patient they thought I was and asking them to check my notes! I do some of my best work in the dentists chair... 😬

That i have good long biceps so it looks like I go to the gym when I dont

Adult DD told me I was really good at laundry and boiling potatoes!

Recently saw physio in the UK after a broken foot.

'Oh wow your feet are so lovely and wide, exactly how they should be!'

(Apparently because I've spent so many years not wearing shoes/ never closed shoes, the beauty of a hot climate. He was young and handsome and it's really the only thing worthy of compliment on me so I'm taking it and running with it!)

My DH told me that I'm really good at making soup.

😆

I get told in every job interview that I’m extremely articulate.

I don’t know what that means so I just smile and say thank you 😭

Whilst being measured for the corset of a bridesmaid dress years ago I was told that my nipples were ‘the perfect distance apart.’ I told DH as I was so proud. He kindly reminds me of it every now and then. 😂

I have been told more than once that I have an unusually high cervix- in my mind this sounds like my cervix is high born and maybe an aristocrat. I feel very posh about it.

My hair colour looks really natural apparently.
Yup. I don't colour it.

I don't need to use eybrow pencil

When I was 12 and going through a very plain stage - dark frizzy hair, acne, metal braces, the works - I had a friend Lisa whose mum was very cool.
She said to me one day… you have lips just like Debbie Harry’s.
And I was on air. Never forgotten it. I was having a horrible time, my hair was like a ball of frizz with a greasy fringe, I was like a string bean, and she lifted my spirits right up!

Told I have high arches and asked of if I was a dancer (laughed - chronic lack of balance).

That I have a beautiful cervix, when having laser excision. Thanks, er, yeah I really try and look after it 😅

Also, now I’m feeling full of myself, had some dental work a few years ago and the dentist did this model of my head on the computer. Like a 3D thing. Said your head is a bit large but it’s a beautiful shape.

The nurse doing my smear told me I love a very obliging cervix, if that counts.

Otherwise, I'm told I have very dainty ears.

Exactly @SexAndCakes , they mean they can get us in and done in no time

Hairdresser said my face shape would suit a wolf cut, whatever that is!

My hairdresser told me I had the right shaped head for a (DIY) buzz cut.

You look so stern but once I got to know you, you are really nice.

Yes I've had similar to this...I thought you were stuck up but then I realised you're a nice girl, just a bit shy 😂

A male hairdresser I used to go to in my 20s was asking me what style I wanted when I first started going to him. I asked his advice on what might suit me and he said

"Oh anything, you have a very plain face"

I thanked him jokingly for the backhanded compliment and he scrabbled to tell me he meant I had no outstanding features.

I laughed and he was still scrabbling for words.

I know what he meant, I just found it funny to tease him about it.

The dentist told me I was really good at opening my mouth wide.

Was told I have lovely teeth. Mind you this was decades before the turkey teeth glow white style of today.

I had a beautiful flowery birthday card from a friend in which she thanked me for my steadfast friendship and all the support I had given and the laughs we had along the way.

When I opened the present it was a book about how to get rid of your cellulite.

I was told by a colleague that I dressed nicely for my size
