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 colleague said you have such an attractive personality & with which is just as well as you have no looks to speak of

We had the exact opposite

We own our house outright but keep ourselves to ourselves

The silly cow next door (council tenant for context) moved in and tried to turn herself into the queen bee of our road

She wanted us out 'as they only rent','I want them out so my friend can move in' and lots of 'I'm going to get your landlord to throw you out!' to our faces

We just laughed and kept our mouths shut-it doesn't matter if we rent or own our house-its nothing to do with her,it's purely our business

I happened to mention to the local busybody that we own our house and it got back to queen bee (busybody is a customer at work and it came up in conversation-I didn't know she knew next door)

'They don't look like they own their house!'

What does a homeowner look like?!

Not us obviously

At my recent mammogram, I was told I had radiologically perfect breasts! Physically, they are a pair of spaniels ears, but I’m taking that compliment all day long! 😆

Aren't people daft @DelboytrottersDnecklace ? 😆

That I looked like a young Jodie Foster (Silence of the Lambs era, not Taxi Driver)

@feelingbleh 😆😆 Nope. I should have asked what she meant but I was somewhat taken aback. Do bloods reveal gender?

"Well she's lovely and proud" about my cervix during a coil fitting

“It’s so lovely to see a young woman who doesn’t pretend to be like everyone else - we can’t all be slim and beautiful”

Apparently it was a compliment. That hair dresser never got a tip and I never returned either in 25+ years 🤣

À man I met on Tinder - bet most men find you intimidating. Never been sure if it was a compliment or an insult.

That's a corker!

Went for a smear and after hearing the nurse exclaim "oh my goodness", I asked what was wrong only for her to say I had the healthiest looking cervix she had ever seen!

GP told me I have ‘text book ears’.

I am waiting to answer the call when civilization needs such ears.

I have a perfect nose ……from the side !

A few years ago now, my gynaecologist during an ultrasound or MRI says you are ovulating just fine and that the best looking egg I’ve seen in a while can I capture the image and clicks.

Yikes!

Well done for not tipping her, that was clearly an intentionally sly dig. I don’t believe she was just being clumsy with her words or anything!

A guy on a dating app -“ you have the most amazing eyebrows I’ve seen in a long time.”

Nice eyelashes, by a girl at school. Consequently rarely when mascara since.

I had the oo your bladder is full. Yes Ive been drinking water all day. She did let me go for a wee mid scan!

A farmer once said to me I’ve got hips like a cow, whilst on the topic of childbearing!

When lamenting to my hairdresser about getting old she told me the greys in my hair were really shiny.

1 this thread is why i love mumsnet and
2 i once went to our local cafe and the girl serving looked at me and said ‘you are so pretty’

ive never been the sort of girl / women who is praised for her looks so im eternally grateful to her!

Yup I usually walk out resembling a watering can.....

stonkingly - not a word you hear everyday. But good usage.

'You have good teeth - you must come from good stock' said by a random man whose wife then explained he prefers horses to people and judges people accordingly...
