What’s the most random compliment you’ve ever received?

[K8Davidson]

I was having blood test yesterday and the phlebotomist said I had excellent veins. I’m not sure what makes veins excellent, but I was glad to hear it!

What’s the most random compliment you’ve ever received?

A few months ago an American woman in a shop told me “You have the best nose I’ve ever seen. Seriously, it’s absolutely perfect!”

I was quite pleased actually as I’ve never known what to think of my nose. ☺️

A man I had a brief relationship with when I was younger told me I seemed “like the sort of girl who could easily be an assassin”

A sort of indirect compliment but heck I wanna join in this thread! 😅. When I went to collect my car after MOT and service, the receptionist said all was good and passed/no work needed and then said “actually it was very clean”. I’m not really sure what that means but I was very proud of myself haha

"You've got a really boring voice, it's perfect."

Followed quickly by "No, it's not a bad thing, it's just really calm and monotonous, it's just what we need"

I was once told by a runner in Victoria Park, East London, that I have psychic abilities. Not exactly the setting I expected for a spiritual awakening, but hey stranger things have happened mid-run. I am a bit psychic but a bit scared of it

Damn. I don’t feel so special now!

The one and only compliment I have ever received, I was with my daughter on holiday, and a complete stranger on his way out of the restaurant stopped and said to me , you are the most beautiful woman in here, then was gone, I swooned and my daughter said wow mum! I have been known to mention it now and again😳🤣

"Those shoes look lovely from the back"

I have lovely smooth arteries.

Probably my hairdresser when they said l have a very tidy hair line, where my hair meets my neck. They find messy ones that go down the neck a bit grim. Obviously l don't know as it's round the back of my head!

I have also had the veins one! Handy as the last 5 years or so have involved LOTS of blood tests and lm super easy to bleed

Your traps are massive. My eldest DS to me when I was wearing a vest top recently. I was stupidly pleased with this seeing as I work really hard on my fitness!

When DH and I were private renting for a year some years ago (between homes,) a woman in the road (who owned a 4 bed detached house,) thought we had bought the house. She was shocked when we said we were renting. She said we 'don't look or seem like people who rent.' She said we 'look a bit better than renters.'

All the LOLz. WTF do people who rent look like?! And how and why do we look 'better?'

I was like 'ooooookaaaaayyyyyyyy' 😐

As I was having a smear the nurse said that I was 'very good at relaxing' well, yes, it's my special skill. Or did she mean that things were very relaxed? Like a hammock, sagging, relaxing on the ground. I'll never know.

I have very pointy nipples. The midwife called her colleagues over for a look after I'd had my baby. 'Look at these nipples- they'll be great for breastfeeding' (they were)

My fertility Dr said I have a beautiful uterus, doesn’t help with the complete lack of eggs though 😂

Was also once told I look like a pre-Raphaelite painting, very random but quite nice (I think?!)

My son’s teacher told me I was exactly like my elegant handwriting. Obviously this was back in the dark ages before email!

That I have a perfect uterus. And that I could still carry a baby at 59. Very odd comment from a male health professional…..

That I hang out a lovely line of washing!

Oh and apparently I have the blood pressure of a prepubescent girl - not too shabby at 71.

My brother told me my nipples were a good shape for breast feeding. Ughh wrong on do many levels, I felt like a cow

*I had just had DC1 and apparently my SIL had lots of problems breast feeding.

I feel quite intimidated by you, but I really like you.

An ex once said I was the salt of the earth. I wasn’t sure if that was exactly the vibe I was going for as a 19 year old but I’d be quite happy to hear it now.

And my dad described me as homely when I was about 21 and thought I was quite sophisticated, I just took it as a compliment as I was actually behaving fairly atrociously and had about five boyfriends on the go at the same time so I felt I'd pulled the wool over his eyes.

I’ve had my cervix removed. At a follow up appointment the woman complimented my ‘nice tidy scar’… whilst still peering up there… I laughed and the spectrum started to slide out.

I was worried about giving birth to first son 38 years ago and told midwife so as my sons head is big lol she said “ pelvis like a bucket “ 😂 😬😂
