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!

That I have a "beautiful cervix" during a smear test (by a fantastic woman doctor, so I was actually rather pleased).

That I have "lovely hands" (by a waiter who looked me up and down, and settled on that. Not great).

That I was "looking good" because random strange man "liked big ladies". I was 21 at the time and a size 10. What a prick.

Ah, thankyou! I know young kids often say stuff like ‘mummy your boobies are big’, but if using a slang term the child must be older, and then it would be a strange comment! So I’m glad I’m wrong 🤣

Sorry just seen this. Yes shoulder muscles 🤣

(When speaking at a funeral): “You’ve got the perfect voice for funerals. Is it different in real life, or do you always sound like this?”

Very robust gag reflux from an absolute weirdo doctor who I think had become intrigued and was testing it with his lolly stick thing

Mines 10/10 according to the consultant. I said thanks 🤣

Mine said I had a fine-looking uterus 🤣

Told I was a dark horse by a colleague - meant in a complimentary way that I have a hidden mystery. I really don't!

I was praised for the very quick healing of my c section scar. I felt proud.

I'm quite impressed by how many people have wonderful cervixes on here!

My mother and I were talking about the movie Rosemary’s Baby. She told me that the Satanists would never pick me to be the mother of the Antichrist, because they’d know they couldn’t boss me around.

Was told I looked like Charlize Theron when out jogging at 5am by a woman coming out of her house. It was dark! Made my decade.
*Its random because I look nothing like her but it was very kind of her.

During a coil fitting, ‘you’re lovely and tall, so good to have a lovely strong girl in here’, ‘oh yes as I suspected a lovely large uterus’, I’m 5’4 🤣

Many years ago going out with a lad from a farming family. Met his parents and his mum said I had lovely little hands which were ideal for lambing

Another lovely cervix here - about two weeks ago - and I'm in my early 70s. Do they wear out?
<preens, though not entirely sure why>

Also been told a few times I look like Vivienne Westwood. In her, ahem, maturity I imagine. I'll take it. Grin

I had one about my genitalia during a smear which made me report the nurse, if that counts.
