"Ive never been touched by gentler hands." That was told to me by a 90+ year old woman when I was taking a blood sample for testing while she was hospitalized.


The worst compliment I ever gave was when I was in middle school. I was attempting to compliment my date's skill with make up, and how amazing she looked, and I said "With all that make up on your face, you look pretty good!"




There was no second date, as I recall.

"You look like "Number One" from Star Trek TNG (paraphrasing)."

As an FYI, I don't look a thing like Jonathan Frakes. Also, this was said to me by a man while I was wearing a tweed sport coat. He said that was the reason I look like Frakes. This was at work as well.

I still don't understand and never will.

I had talked to a college recruiter on the phone a few times and when I finally met with her the first words out of her mouth were, "You don't look like what I thought you'd look like." I asked what she meant and she never addressed it. She looked dumbstruck.

One time in my old hometown the resident crazy bag lady had somehow got into the backseat of a car. As I walked passed her on the sidewalk she rolled down the window and screamed at me. No words, just a wailing banshee shriek. I felt pretty good about myself that day. :3:

At the company doctor's office for a medical, an older lady doctor was looking inside my ears with one of those things they use for that and she got all excited, saying that I had the most textbook perfect inner ears that she had ever seen. She even called all of the young nurses in to check out my perfect inner ears one by one, though they seemed somewhat less impressed by my magnificent cochlea.

Nurses and medical techs always notice people's veins. My ex used to say she like my veins. I let her administer my hep vaccine before traveling to the Caribbean, although that's intramuscular so I doubt it was as satisfying.

Weirdest compliment was when I was 16, wearing shorts on a public bus, and a woman in her mid 40s said "Nice knees" as she walked by me.

I have no idea.

I did have pretty strong muscled hairy man legs for a 16 year old, but I'm not sure how the knees became the focal point. Maybe it was synecdoche.

I once got flustered at a party and kept telling someone they were "very german looking.

I was waiting for a pizza at pizza hut and a girl came out and told me I was beautiful. Which was kinda unexpected.

I was also told I looked "Radiant" one time at university.
