To ask your favourite ever compliment?

[AnotherEffingOrangeRevel]

What's the best compliment you've ever received?

My personal favourite ever has been "You've got a nice nose. Like Boris Becker".

When a taxi driver I had said to me about a year ago 'can I just say you must be doing something right, what lovely polite children you have'

I then got the same guy about a year later. Don't get taxis much now. He said the exact same thing. I now suspect its a line he uses just before people pay to try increase his tip haha!

From my Mam. We are not a huggy-lovey-emotion-showing family at all. After a loud, shouting, he stormed out of the house (my parents)break up with a boyfriend at 5am Christmas Eve. She came downstairs to see what happened and I was crying and told her it all. I still love her 'I know it means nothing to you now, you don't care what I think and your heart is broken, but I'm so proud of you. You don't deserve that and you are worth so much more even if you think you won't find it'. I cried harder and then she followed it with 'now put the kettle on while I get dressed, if he crawls back he's not getting the thrill of seeing me in a nightie'

I get random compliments from strangers fairly frequently. And let me tell you, I am NOT all that. I have no clue at all what causes it.

A couple of months ago, I was in the cereal aisle at the grocery, and a man stopped me and said he had seen me cross the parking lot, and he wanted to tell me that I'm a very beautiful woman.

I think I'm average at best, but it still made me feel pretty good.

Grannytomine, I teared up at yours - and that's just continued through the whole thread. What a lovely thing for your grandson to say. I bet you are a great granny too.l!

DS1's friend said I was 'rad'

A colleague said I was 'the coolest librarian ever'.

When DP and I were courting he said I was 'potent'.

DS1 always compliments me. Always has. I remember him being about 4 and just randomly saying 'you look beautiful today, mummy.'

Now he's 17 and regularly compliments my clothes and says he's proud of having a pretty mum 😄

Whereas DS2 is a bit more circumspect. When I asked what he'd put on my gravestone he had a think and said, "Sweaty But Nice"

In the supermarket the other day, woman behind me in queue, I was rounding up my 3 boys...I said to her they break my heart... jokingly...she said to me...you are such a pretty girl...would you not have liked a girl... think there was a compliment in there somewhere!!!

DH said last night that I have 'a heartbreaking top lip'

This still makes me laugh because its a lovely compliment and a bitchy backhanded conpliment in one conversation.

I was at university and on my lunch break with the lovely mature student who was about 60. A girl from our class sat at our table; she was absolutely gorgeous and always had a full face of perfect makeup but was very vain and not the nicest person. Mature student said to her "you're so gorgeous, I don't think you need the makeup, TowerRose doesn't wear makeup but she always looks so lovely". She then glared at me and asked if I wear makeup and I told her that I had to get up at 6 for class and usually just chuck on mascara and lipstick. She then said "that's nice actually, if I stopped wearing it people would think I look ugly, with you they're just used to it I suppose"

Too rude to mention here!
