    Look like Harry Potter, the huge star in the films
    Wasn't aimed at me, it was at a work colleague

    If it was aimed at me I'd be offended

    "I see you put on a bit of weight for the winter? Wise of you."

    Yes, the person who said this to me was over 80.

    "You're so cuddly"

    wtf is that?That's worse than calling somebody bubbly! Also I hate being hugged so it was kind of doubly insulting

    I have a fairly big vocal range and when I'm relaxed, my voice can get quite husky and low. (If you've heard Mariah Carey talking you'll know what I mean.)
    A guy once told me I sounded like a man "in a good way".

    He didn't score.

    Started doing night shifts for a bit a few years back. A few weeks in, the (female, quite attractive for a 30 something) boss says "Oh you look like youve lost weight"

    Brilliant. Month or 2 later "Oh you look much healthier than before"

    Way to sugarcoat the gaining of weight! If i was a woman, id have been insulted.

    I too have that cross to bear... you could always say you're cuddly like a polar bear and then rip their face off.

    When I was working in hotels abroad I used to get complimented on how good my English was loads of times. One woman from Cork kept saying she couldn't believe how a French man had an Irish accent, she was not able to put 2+2 together, she asked me how long I lived in Ireland for so when I told her 19 years (I was 21 at the time) she looked at me funny but not that penny dropping look more of a how is that logical kind of look (an Irish man that speaks French, surely not).

    Maybe they meant a cross between Jacob and Edward. That'd be a lot less insulting.
