    I'm assuming 'gra' is a culchie term meaning 'a crush'?

    Seriously, I'd either want go on the Atkins or kill myself if someone said that to me.

    Harsh :(
    I got a beard (it was more a few days stubble) compliment the other day, it really just looked like I had not washed in a while. :) I guess some people like the "off the street" look.

    Worst was two customers at work saying to me, "so you're not just a pretty face" when they asked me to get a part for them. They were both middle aged men... :confused: :mad:

    Went to view an apartment once; rented by a hairdresser. Drove her and me there as her car was in the garage. On the way back to dropping her off:

    <Her>So are you interested in the apartment?

    <Me>definitely! Viewing a few others and this is the best I've seen so far. I let you know by tomorrow evening.

    <awkward silence 2 mins>

    <Her>
    Y'know I can give you extensions on the front - you won't look like such a loser! :rolleyes:

    I didn't rent this place !

    I was told by two chicks that I remind them of Damien from home and away (also appered as 'Mouse' in the first Matrix film).
    Needless to say I told them both to fúck off in spite of the good intentions.

    PS. I look nothing like Mouse.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,376 ✭✭✭Funsterdelux

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,820 ✭✭✭Femelade


    I was told by a friend of mine in school yrs ago that i was a "lily in a pond of scummy sh1tflies".

    another time i was with this guy in a night club and when we left, got out into a better lit place he said "your actually kinda cute, but you talk too much"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,497 ✭✭✭✭Dragan


    Best compliment, being told "you should be in a colgate ad because of those perfect teeth."

    Worst compliment , " for some reason i was under the impression you'd be a bit of an idiot"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 6,417 ✭✭✭Archeron


    "You're not as fat as you used to be. Well done"

    That hurt.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,565 ✭✭✭quad_red


    that psycho guy who beat up Steven MacDonald in Coronation St (bad phase - crap hair and dodgy goatee).

    women of the world, pay attention. the following is the worst "nice" thing you can ever say to a man:

    you're such a good friend.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 837 ✭✭✭Beetlebum


    In a bar in town one night, ran into a guy I used to go to school with...

    Him: Hey, jesus I barely recognised ya

    Me: So, how are you?

    Him: You're lookin really well, you used to be a minger in school...

    Worst part is I used to have a crush on him in school....d*ckhead!!

    the brother thing is bad alright.

    i don't know who your friends are, but i would like to befriend them.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 24,367 ✭✭✭✭Sleepy


    "You look like Matt Damon." - how in the name of god is that a compliment?! :eek:

    Thats just harsh, it really is. It's not that ALL your friends will want to have sex with you.....it's just tough to be put in that box is all, kinda means your sexual unattractive to the girl in a round about way. :(

    One of my best mates is a bloke. We’ve been best friends since we were 4. We’re both now 26. There is no way on earth I’d ever see him as anything other than a brother. Its just wrong!

    An elderly relation was introduced to my sister and I (hadn't seen her since we were small) - she started off "You're like the mother" and to my sister "You're definitely the head off your father" :mad: Did NOT go down well with my sis...

    Best and worst?

    "I really like you - like a brother"


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 424 ✭✭deedee lepoopoo


    Chatting to some lad in a pub there one night, out of the blue he said ' I just have to day you have got great tits' (kinda threw me, we were just talking about something completely different) so I retorted ' I'd say you have a nice mickey, but I can't see it from here'. :D


  • Administrators, Entertainment Moderators, Social & Fun Moderators, Society & Culture Moderators Posts: 18,774 Admin ✭✭✭✭✭hullaballoo


    Her: "You're really cute"
    Me: "what, like fluffy socks?"
    Her: "no, like an old man".

    Edit: lol, "mickey".


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,932 ✭✭✭The Saint


    A female friend of mine once told me that I'm the best looking guy she knows and doesn't know why I don't have a girlfriend. I was quite pleased about that. Still haven't figured out how to get a girlfriend though. Funny creatures.

    Worst is probably 'was that it?'. :cool: Lol


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 13,497 ✭✭✭✭Dragan


    For the absolutely weirdest thing that any girl has ever said to me was a girl that i hooked up with one night, went back to her place, had some fun etc.....

    .... the next day while having a spot of breakfast she goes,

    "You remind me of my Dad."

    My reply?

    "Em.....how well do you know you Dad?"


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 570 ✭✭✭manonthemoon


    I once approached a girl in a nightclub and said

    "hello there, you've got lovely hurlers wrists"



    I'm quite proud of that actually

    Obviously you didn't pick up on what she was trying to imply.
