I've always felt like the soft hands thing is a weird enough compliment. Add on the rotten apple and now I'm just freaked out.

"you have a very fake voice" "I- I'm sorry?" "No no it's a good thing! I love it! Like a character at Disney land or something!" "Um... Thank you." "Have you ever thought about applying?" "... To be a character at Disney land?" "You'd be great at it. You have a fake voice AND a great smile" What??

Someone said I looked like a Pixar mom once. When inquired he said it was supposed to be a compliment. I still don't know how to feel about seeing as I'm definitely not and it was super random.

When I was 16 years old, I had super long hair. I had to get a haircut for a new job. This very physically attractive, but stuck up and snotty girl who’d never once spoken to me in her life, confronted me in the hallway and, very loudly, said “I’d totally have *** with you if you hadn’t cut your hair.”

A girl said I had nice eyebrows one day in high school during a math class. Just an oddly specific thing to compliment! I did thank her, though, of course. :)

I've been told this too! It actually made me feel good because my eyebrows are one of my weird insecurities.

Not me, but my mother when I was a kid. She had worked hard to make a special dinner for an aunt and uncle who were coming to our house for the first time. After dinner she said, “Thank you for that delicious dinner. Everything tastes good when you’re hungry.” I never saw them at our house again.

I used to weigh 16st for 5’2" at the time (US friends: there’s 14 lbs to the stone so that was 224 lbs.) I entered a singing competition; I didn’t win but made it to the final and hopefully sang reasonably well. This bloke came up to me afterwards and said "Great voice…! Nice to see a woman like you have self-confidence." Cheers mate.

When I was in my mid-40’s, a guy I worked with saw a pic of me in my early twenties. In front of a group of people, he said “wow!! You used to be good looking. I sure would have asked you out”. We were both single at the time.

I'm guessing the person was someone they knew and they were wearing a wig? I'm not sure of the context though.

Little backstory: at school, I was 12, one very condescending classmate (she had money, I didn't, she cared about that, I didn't). Never even talked to me unless it was critisism. In between classes she walkes up to me, starts talking really friendly. "Can I ask you something? " (I sense some sort of embarrasment) "sure" I tell her. "Well I kind of have a wedgie, how do I correct that? I'm afraid to ask anyone else and I thought you might know?" Looked at her kind of dumbfounded and gave her the very obvious suggestion of just going to the toilets and simply correct it. I'm sure there was a compliment in there somewhere. Weirdest experience ever. What makes me the expert? Why come to me, you obviously loathe me and I don't care etc etc. Of course told my best friend immediately and 26 years later we still have a good laugh over this!

I was on a date, I ordered a steak, vegetables and potatoes. My date, who hadn't complimented me all night, said, "You order well." I didn't say thank you and he got very offended and proceeded to tell me how rude I was. Needless to say, that was our last date.

I'm 16 and this isn't a weird compliment, just during a weird time. I was running a cross country race and this was a really big meet so there was a lot of runners. Anyways we were about 2 and a half miles in and this girl is slowly passing me. And everyone is dying, tired, and breathing really hard, and as she passes me she was really nice and said "good job" and then she looks at me and says "OH MY GOSH, YOUR SO PRETTY!" It made my whole day that the fact that she said that as I was dripping sweat and breathing like a dying cow in the middle of a race and she said I was pretty. If your out there, just so you know you made my whole month and I still think about it.

My boss told me I was too nice…. to get a promotion. He said he didn’t see me as director material because he didn’t think I could say no. Even though he had seen me do so when I needed to. He was constantly saying he felt I was being everyone’s concierge - I wasn’t. I was the newest person in a department of people that had been there a very long time and in a new position no one else had held, so I was doing my absolute best. If I had questions, I would ask him and he would often say what do you think. I tried not to consult him too often but when I did, this was more often than not his reply. Plus two years of my job was during the pandemic lockdown, so that made things even harder. He offered me a demotion with less pay or to leave and find another job. I ended up finding something else. I was at first very hurt but then I realized that I did my best in that job and was just being myself so that’s ok.

*pulls up notes from the time I posted to Reddit’s roast me thread* many, many, many comparisons to Cartman from South Park (I am a South Park fan but I’m a tad offended by it) because I’m *slightly* overweight. “You’re a Jimmy/Timmy!” in reference to Timmy Burch/Jimmy Valmer, two SP characters that are disabled (they’re treated like normal kids by other characters and aren’t defined by their quirks) doesn’t bother me as I’m autistic myself and I have a speech impediment. Posted to a rate me thread (I was bored and I get that I’m rather unattractive) Its Kyle's cousin kyle Schwartz! (I have glasses and short brown hair) At work: I wouldn’t want a pretty girl like you to get hurt 😏 And many many many fat jokes/jabs at me to “lose weight” although it’s how my body looks
