    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.

    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, Paid Member Posts: 6,743 ✭✭✭Archeron


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

    you're such a good friend.
