Your oddest 'compliment'?

anno, it might not have been intended as a compliment but I'd certainly take it as one!

A lovely Irish man once asked me when I was out with DH 'How was heaven when you left it?' I said to DH 'oh he thinks I look like an angel' and DH replied 'no, he thinks you look like you've just been exhumed'.

Yes I was told I was the image of my Mother , but she was a good looking woman ! I burst out laughing , friend was offended and walked off !

Someone once told me I was a 'formidable woman'. I always wondered if that was meant as a compliment.

Mine was similar to Eloethan when a friend at a dinner told me I looked nice, the dress I was wearing flattered me.

My Dad always said I had legs like a robin !

Wow Andy that was a big ask, wasn't it? ( the Guardianship.)

A boyfriend once told me that I was the smallest girl he had ever been out with, but the best looking. I was annoyed, and when later I told my Mother she laughed.

DH told me being married to me was an 'adventure'!

Probably not an odd complimented and not even meant to be one but three or four years ago a neighbours divorced daughter asked us if we would be guardians to her two children in the event of anything happening to her.
We said yes and I still consider it the ultimate compliment.

A stranger once told me I had child bearing hips ?

A friend said:

"I hate pierced ears but if I ever had my ears pierced, which I wouldn't I'd wear ear rings like yours."

"Your hair looks nice for a change."

My auntie said:

"You're Bonnie but your mother was beautiful."

My son calls me a little ginger nutter ! I have never understood why , I am the most placid person ever .

My ex , then my fiance, once said 'In the dark you're not bad'!

Someone I'd just met said "Oh aren't you lovely and tall? Means you can carry the weight well". If she'd stopped after the first four words I would have been very pleased!

I think that's what's termed a " backhanded compliment"! Like the stuck up colleague who said to me " they're lovely earrings you've got on.- I can't wear cheap jewellery myself".

A great aunt told me that l looked just like my mum did at the same age.........just not so pretty!

A young woman I worked with complimented me on the dress I was wearing and asked me where I bought it.

"Anne Brookes" I said.

"It really suits you", she replied, adding "do they do fashionable things?"

It still makes me laugh.

I was once told that I as an "enigma". I was only 15 at the time and had to go home and look it up in the dictionary. I was pleasantly surprised !!!

Bags, the mind boggles!

I was once told that I walked like a well-bred carthorse. I have never been quite sure what to make of that but was amused by the "well-bred".
