We had a colleague who was notorious for such statements. "Your hair looks nice - from the back." Or "These trousers are lovely. I wouldn't have the nerve to wear them if I was your size." We used to compile a book of sayings. Some were breathtaking in their cheek!

There was a thread a while back, so it is a sequel.
What "Compliments" have you been given?

I answered a man's buzzer when working in a care home, and he said "Oh, thank god it's you! I was worried it might be a dollybird".
