Strange compliments

[Severen13]

This weekend I got my hair cut short dyed it dark red with blonde streaks (and it looks pretty damn good). Anyhoo, I'm walking back to my apartment from the grocery store and there's this fellow sitting on some steps watching me walk by. As I pass him I hear "You've got pretty hair, like Laura Bush."

:roll:


Anyone else get weird compliments like that?

[BrassCowboy]

This reminds me of that Andy Milonakis sketch, where he says stuff like:

"Your face is going to save this city."

or, my favorite:

"Those shoes belong in a museum." (pronounced muz-am)

:lol: :lol:

I was told that I look like Maria Sharapova (a tennis player, evidently) a couple times.

I can maybe maybe MAYBE see the resemblance....



And then like 2 weeks ago, I was told that I look like Jennifer Anniston. I gave the lady a WTF look (because I'm like 20 years younger), but whatever...she is pretty.

Let's see... back in the days when smoking was still allowed in most places- I was working in "that little cafe". I lit a cigarette for this guy and he said, "Thank- you. Wouldn't you know that the only real gentleman in the place is a lady?"

The other day I was sitting outside having a cigarette myself when this guy walks up to me and in a foriegn accent I didn't recognize said, "Hello, one who was foreseen and told."
Me: :confused:
I answered, "Hi!" :D

I can maybe maybe MAYBE see the resemblance....


Oh, I definately see a huge resemblance- you could almost be sisters!

I think giraffe's got better cheekbones though =3.

As for weird compliments, I think the weirdest one I got was from some random customer who told me the "poofball" on my head made me look distinguished :confused:

[Spiffy McMoron]

That reminds me of an old story that I told on the boards here about a year ago.

I was filling out a warrenty card for a battery, when the woman looks at what I'm writing. She then proclaims: "Oh, you write like my husband!"
Me: Oh, really?
Her: Yeah, it's so has to be so neat and precise. I tell my husabnd that he writes like a sociopath.
Me: Um...thanks? :confused:

[Seanette]

Today a caller told me I have a radio voice. My reaction was along the lines of, "Uh, thanks. I think". She did assure me it was meant as a compliment.

Could have been worse - she could have told me I have a radio face. :D

[Misanthropical]

I had a cashier tell me my writing looks like the old English style of writing, when I was writing a check. Uhh, thanks?

I had a co-worker tell me to tell my husband that my husband is a very lucky man. That was strange, considering I only worked with the guy and barely spoke to him and he had never met my husband. :confused:

A female co-worker told me I look just like Sissy Spacek and then annoyed me the rest of the time I worked there by calling me Sissy.

I have had people tell me I don't look like the mother of a teenager. Uhh, what is a parent of a teenager suppose to look like? I still haven't gotten an answer on that one.

[Kiwi]

kyle always tells me my hair is looking "beautifully poofy today, nice and big and fluffy" after ive washed and dried it

I never know to be flattered or wring his bloomin neck

[CanadaGirl]

Probably meaning you don't look old enough to be the mother of a teenager. :D

[Misanthropical]

CanadaGirl, I don't feel old enough to be a mother of a teenager either. :p

I was given the compliment "you are prettier than the prettiest thing on earth" by my little guy. :love:

[Banrion]

People always tell me I look like "that girl on That 70's Show" I don't see the resemblance at all.

If you want to see me you can see my pics on myspace www.myspace.com/banrion

[thegiraffe]

I see what they're talking about. I definitely see the resemblance Banrion.

[Think Blue]

I've been told that I have a great public announcers voice. :confused:

[PuckishOne]

ThinkBlue, I'll take that over the one I've heard (a number of times, too): that I have a great phone sex voice. :confused: Guess I'll have to get one of you guys to call me and tell me what you think. ;) :lol:

[Sphinx]

I dont know if i wanna call this a compliment or not :lol: I was told my hair (really long, dark brown with natural highlights from the sun)would make a pretty wig :eek:

[Mr. Rager!]

Severen, that's when you say, "You've got a nice forehead, like Hillary Clinton" smile then walk away.

[NightWolf]

People always tell me I look like "that girl on That 70's Show"

holy crap, it's Donna!! ;) Sorry, I love that show. And being that it takes place in Wisconsin helps too.

Shinx, that was just.....:eek: ....creepy.

giraffe: I can see it somewhat. But I think you look better. ;)


Now, I had someone where I worked once that kept referring to me as an Indy car driver. Especially when I wore my sun glasses. I thought he was nuts, but every single time he would comment on this. And most times, he'd forget that he had already told me that umteen times before. :rolleyes:

[Banrion]

I see what they're talking about. I definitely see the resemblance Banrion.

holy crap, it's Donna!! ;) Sorry, I love that show. And being that it takes place in Wisconsin helps too.

While I love the show, I do NOT see the resemblance! I would kill to actually look like her cause she's hot. But can I tell you how much hell she put me through in college with her spread in Maxim Magazine. GAH! And as a funny sidenote, my b/f's name is Eric and he is kinda short and scrawny.
I was born in Iowa so I do have a place in my heart for the midwest.:wave:
