    When I was going through a really difficult time with assorted serious life disasters:

    "I think it's amazing the way you cope and are always so cheerful.I'd commit suicide if it was me"

    That did not help matters!

    "Well, she's certainly a BIG girl!"
    -My exe's mother's (probable by now) mother-in-law when he first introduced me to the folks.

    "Sure, yer only, what- 35? Plenty of time for manhunting!"
    -Tactless taxi driver, after I said i wasn't married. (I was 20 at the time. -___-)

    "You've got a lovely face." (To themselves: "Shame about the body..")
    -Practically everyone I know.

    "You'd be really good looking if you were taller"

    "God love ye, you look great for all you've been through".

    Eh, thanks a lot. :P

    Customer at work told me I looked like the Joker from Batman. Not Heath Ledger; just him as the Joker.

    So much for service with a smile...

    Having an Indian type penis would certainly rank up there.:D

    When I was on work experience, we were having a BBQ and one of my housemates best friends told her that I was "the best looking guy she has ever seen...for a read head"

    It's not a fcuking disease darling! And it's auburn*

    *Although many will say it is a disease.

    lol how did I miss this one before I posted!

    Funny story, I pulled a girl at a night club back in my single days and we got on like a house on fire. We got back to her place for a party with friends. As we got into the hall and turned the lights on, she noticed that my hair was actually red and not brown..."Oh, you have...red...hair". She pretty much made her excuses after that. B!tch.

    Doctor - "Oh you're a grand big girl" - I was not. I was an average sized 13 year old.

    Ex-girlfriend (before we got together) - "It's just as well you're so much fun to hang out with, otherwise you'd have no friends, what with the way you ruin people's lives and all."

    Shop customer - "You are the epitome of service." I know she meant that I was friendly and helpful, but honestly it just sounded like she thought I was born to be a maid. Although that's not as bad as the guy who wished me a "long and successful career" in the shop that I work at. Jesus. Did he hate me?

    "Your so lucky your tall, you get away with carrying that little bit of extra weight" - :eek: wft so your saying if I was short i'd be a puddner??

    Another one that really grates me is "oh that dress/top/outfit looks good on you, I could never get away with that kind of look" in otherwords, I look hideous and you can't believe I wore that out in public!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 639 ✭✭✭Shivers26


    My (now ex) boyfriend 'I really love your big ass'......eh thanks (its not big at all ftr)

    Pretty much anyone who says 'You look tired' ....translation = 'You look like crap'

    I also have been told many many times that I have lovely feet. Not a bad compliment but just a slightly odd one.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 736 ✭✭✭Dilynnio


    That I am the image of Kate Winslet!

    TBH I think she is the image of me! :D

    Yeah it was a sort of a genuine "Oh, heh. Thanks!", followed by a "Wait a minute, what?"

    My hair is too ginger for someone to ever mistake it as brown, so any rejection of that sort happens well before I open my mouth! Btw, racists!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,554 ✭✭✭✭alwaysadub


    From my boss:"you remind me of myself sometimes".
    He's a total prick who everyone hates.
    From numerous people:"you look so much better since you've put on some weight". It's two bad compliments in one-i've put on weight and i usedn't to look good!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 1,148 ✭✭✭mehfesto2


    Two Chinese people came into the shop one day and were very friendly to me. All 'thank you's, and 'oh, how helpful' and the like. And at the end, the chap goes 'Thank you very much for everything. And you look like Jack Black'.

    And smiles at me. The two of them there now smiling at me waiting for a response. It gets a bit arkward and they're still there beaming away at me.

    Cheers.

    Was having a chat with a mate of mine one day. We've been frineds since about 3rd or 4th year (second year of college now) and started hanging out together through a mutual friend. Anyways, he says to me that when he first got to know my group of friends and me, that he thought I was really cool, because I was fairly quiet most of the time but every so often would add something "funny or insightful" (his words, not mine) to the conversation. He then added how since he'd come to realise that I was actually just rather quiet. Cue furious back peddling. :cool:

    I was once told that I'd make a great gay man.

    As a straight woman, that's offensive in a weird way :o


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 10,572 ✭✭✭✭brummytom


    "Well you know, you might not look as bad in the future" - A girl a really liked

    "You're like the Ugly Duckling. In a good way" - My mate the other week


    Or the worst "Girls will like you for your personality" - Fuck off

    "you have sexy eye brows." WTF


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 8,572 ✭✭✭Canard


    A straight guy in my class, who's a complete assh0le, told me if I was a girl I'd have a nice ass then spanked me.

    Thank you?

    crap boyfriend material but great husband material

    wtf is that?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 415 ✭✭Degringola


    Hadn't seen someone for months and had lost a lot of weight in the meantime.

    "You look better than you have in a looong, looong time", and repeated for emphasis when the first 'compliment' was met with silence. In other words, you were a fat mess. Back-handed or what? STFU.
