Strange compliments
I got my MRI done yesterday; I feel like a microwaved burrito!
But I got the strangest compliment after I was through. At one point, they had me hold my breath repeatedly so they could get clear pics of the abdomen. The tech said afterwards, "You're a great breather! Are you a swimmer or a singer? We get people in here all the time who can't hold their breath, and they get crappy pictures. We got great pictures from you."
I told him I trained as a singer in my youth, which was true. Or maybe I just have strong abdominal muscles.
But it could just be all those bong hits. ;)
What strange compliments have you received?
Well "strange" is in the eye of the beholder I guess . . .
On more than one occasion, when donating blood, I've been told I have easy-to-find veins, and/or that I bleed quickly.
Yeah, 'good bleeder' is one I've gotten.
well, that's better than me. My whole life, they've had a problem finding my veins. They're in there, guys, I promise!
I've been asked to just stay in their chair for the day, donating blood. They kind of "ooh" when they get my arm because the vein is so "accessible." ;)
Right out of college I had a job pushing people to buy photos after they came in for their "free 8 x 10." (I didn't last long...I hated it.) One guy was looking at pictures of his son, who was not an attractive kid. He asked me something like "which one do you think he looks good in" and I responded something like "well, I don't know him personally, which do you think captures his personality?"
He said "You're very diplomatic."
:lol:
I shave my head, to a 000 all around.
When they see my drivers license at age 16 when I had a bowl cut, they say "good thing you don't look like this now :D" so happy for my current hair styling.
Once had a (male) co-worker compliment my eyebrows. How odd! :eyebrow:
A few weeks ago, I was at the bank chatting with the teller as he handled my transaction. Another customer followed me out as I left, and stopped me to compliment me on my voice. She said she had been blind for awhile (dunno how that works), and as a result she was quite sensitive to people's voices - she said I had a "lovely melodious tone and an enchanting laugh."
Who knew?!? :)
Edited to add: Just noticed that I'm a "Wet Nurse's Aide." That could be taken a couple of ways. *giggle*

Is it even more odd then that my husband has given me compliments on my eyebrows several times? He really likes them...
My OB complimented me on my pushing ability when I was giving birth. Asked if I was an aerobics instructor....

:D Is it just a coincidence then that your screenname is Glinda?
I was taking a leak in the men's room one time and the guy in the stall next to me said "Nice dick."

and that's strange because you have a nasty one? Or you're a girl?

This is odd because it came from a male or the compliment to the eyebrows? I've had several compliments on my eyebrows. I didn't think it was odd. The compliments did come from women though.
Not me personally, but a friend of mine was told she had "a magnificent cervix" after a medical exam.
I was taking a leak in the men's room one time and the guy in the stall next to me said "Nice dick."
And you took that as a compliment? :eyebrow:

Odd because it came from a guy. At that time in my life I was
uhh.... moderately bodacious, and my eyebrows were pretty much
last on the list of things guys noticed! ;)

Glinda as a Washington intern, circa 1984.[/SIZE]
Guys notice eyebrows. My ex said mine were very "feminine." *shrugs*
FTR I've never noticed a woman's eyebrows, positively or negatively.
Only time I ever notice them are when they're plucked out and pencilled on. eeeewwww....
yeh, I'm with you. That has to be one of the worst things a woman can do to her appearance. Plucking out her natural eyebrows and then painting in some fake lines... WTF?
That one seems to have gotten pretty creative with the lips, too.
I was taking a leak in the men's room one time and the guy in the stall next to me said "Nice dick."
I'm fairly sure that was an offer rather than merely an observation.

That's why he said it. If he had said anything else you'd have probably just chalked it up to another line. It ain't easy being original. ;)
btw, Glinda, you have a beautiful perineum.
I was told I had 'very white' sclera.
Oh, and the best one -- a woman came up to me in the mall when I was about 12, and asked me how I kept my great tan, even in winter!
Wolf told me I had a nice placenta. I guess it was a compliment? lol
I was once complimented by a hairdresser on the speed my hair grows...
...as she gasped for breath amid the writhing, clinging mass of tentacle-like tresses...
That's why he said it. If he had said anything else you'd have probably just chalked it up to another line. It ain't easy being original. ;)
:D Well, it definitely caught my attention. I'd say he succeeded!
btw, Glinda, you have a beautiful perineum.
:eek: Have we met before?
??? you can't see it in that picture!
and I, for one, am glad
Damn right, the last thing I want to see is Reagan's perineum. :haha:
:eek: Have we met before?
I was kinda wondering the same thing. :D
Glinda: WE have!
And then I woke up. Damn.
There, there, Cap'n.
Rest your poor haid upon my boooosom..... ;)
[SIZE="1"]And check out those eyebrows![/SIZE]
Had to have a CT scan last night... the CT tech told me I have a "lovely spine". I wasn't sure what to say to that, other than, "Well, thank you" :)

You could say (a la Sophia Loren) "Everything you see I owe to pasta!"
True, but wouldn't a good skeletal structure be more owed to milk?
True, but wouldn't a good skeletal structure be more owed to milk?
Yes, but then it wouldn't be a la Sophia Loren - it would be a "Got Milk?" commercial.
:lol: that's very true, Brianna, and I'd much rather be a la Sophia Loren than a commercial ;)

Was he a Congressman?
...and how wide was his stance?

Your eyebrows are phenomenal! as are your lips, hair, nose, & earlobes.....so are your shoulders......the nape of your neck.....your toned arms, your rock hard abs, hip bones.....that little crease that goes from there to ...another good spot..... I could go on, but I figure I've embarrassed you enough by now.

Not to mention those tonsils and very lovely molars.

I find this incredibly sweet for a husband to post! :D
I was once told by two gynecologists that I have an... erm... "very deep cervix". The first one went and got the second one because her fingers weren't long enough to reach, and then the second one couldn't reach either, and then they had a little chat about how unusual it was and how, wow, no, it's not them, it's me. :redface:

I think they meant that it was very deep to your cervix. Not a "deep cervix".
Just means you need to find someone who fits, Tiki. :D
In my 20s I found a lump on one of my testicles. This is a worst-case scenario for a 20-something. I went to have it ultrasounded.
So there I am, at the hospital, on the table, with my package all hanging out, with the lab room door open and people walking by, with a bunch of ultrasound goo on my sack and a technician rolling the ultrasound thingie over the area... and the guy reading it says "Three millimeters. You must have really sensitive fingers!"
[SIZE=1]uh thanks i guess can we get this over with real soon now
[/SIZE]
What you should have said: no, my girlfriend has a really sensitive tongue.
I think they meant that it was very deep to your cervix. Not a "deep cervix".
Yes. My cervix is deep down there. A cervix is a portal, and wouldn't be referred to as being, in itself, "deep" anymore than a door would be referred to as "deep". More like a rock at the bottom of a lake would be referred to as being deep. I phrased it the way the GYNs phrased it... the actual phrase the first one used was "Wow, your cervix is really deep, I can't reach it!" Sort of like, if you're in a cave, you are deep underground. My cervix is deep... in my vaginal canal. Thanks for giving me the chance to elucidate, I was really hoping for a chance to talk about my vagina.

Nice vagina monologue! :p
Nice vagina monologue! :p
I do my best! :D
Now.
Back to your vagina.........
wait a minute. I'm missing something here.
it's NOT a good thing when your cervix is struck by a foreign object is it? i mean....having a 'deep' cervix is probably a good thing.....right?
it's not like you were a guy and they said your cock was really long.... maybe you just have a tall cooter?
[youtube]sGjElvt4nP8[/youtube]
But it's the same number of nerves in a longer chassis; wouldn't that necessitate a longer probe to activate all those nerves?
You heard me. Grow a few (inches). :D

I know your eyes in the morning sun
I feel you touch me in the pouring rain
And the moment that you wander far from me
I wanna feel you in my arms again
And you come to me on a summer breeze
Keep me warm in your love
Then you softly leave
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools
Breaking us down
When they all should let us be
We belong to you and me
I believe in you
You know the door to my very soul
You're the light in my deepest, darkest hour
You're my savior when I fall
And you may not think I care for you
When you know down inside
That I really do
And it's me you need to show
How deep is your love?
I really need to learn
'Cause we're living in a world of fools

Back on track - much as I like reading about Tiki's minnie...
I have been complimented on my nose more than once.
And when my counsellor asked me, "Is there anything you like about yourself?" I was able to bravely respond, "My nose!" which she admitted was a new one on her, but at least gave us somewhere to start from.
I was also told I have Willow Pattern eyes. You know, the dark blue & white china plates. Apparently, my iris is the same shade of blue. I rather liked that too. But then I was 20 and the man making the observation was lying on top of me (in Willow Pattern jeans) so I was in a vulnerable position compliment-wise.
You heard me. Grow a few (inches). :D
UUUUUGE
Wolf told me I had a nice placenta. I guess it was a compliment? lol
Yes... but is(was) it yours or Max's?
Hers! She growed it!
She could have et it too.
The presenter, Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall, devised the recipe with mother Rosie Clear for a party to celebrate the birth of her daughter Indi-Mo Krebbs.
The placenta was fried with shallots and garlic, flambéed, puréed and served to 20 relatives and friends as a pate on focaccia bread.
Mrs Clear's husband Lee had 17 helpings but the other guests were less enthusiastic.
For the record, I am a big fan of HF-W and watched this programme. He wasn't out to shock or disgust - animals eat their afterbirth after all. It was quite clear where it was going, and in later interviews he admitted it only really tasted of the flavours added. Yumyum.
The real enquiry should have been into the daughter's name. She has to live with that!
yes... but she "growed" Max too.
I've been told by a doctor and a massage therapist that I have 'perfect anatomy' in my back.
In college, a roommate of mine was told by her gynecologist that she had a beautiful 'pussy' (he didn't actually use that word). I thought IT was strange enough that to this day I haven't forgotten it.
"Magnificent! I shall hang an oil painting of it in my waiting room. I shall be the envy of every other doctor in this city!"
I have a backwards slanting vag. Apparently. I didn't get approval or disapproval regarding this, but it was nice to know.
My veins also roll.
The nurses at Blood Donors are always quite approving of this. But that's probably because I look like I'm going to be sick, or cry, or both, so they are being kind. It seems that some veins pop up at the first sign of a needle, but mine hide, and weave about and roll. Which is natural when you think about it. I have safety veins.
I have been complimented on my green-tinged skin, my hooked nose (with mole and hair coming out) and pointy hat.
Also: my socks never fail to inspire awe.
Oh I have been complimented often on my socks. Well....compliment might be the wrong word. Comment has been passed.
Mainly that's because I don't bother with all that matching malarkey. I grab two suitabke socks, Preferably of the same basic style and material...though not exclusively so. I see no reason to arse about finding matching socks.
I find people usually comment when one is daring enough to be fashion-forward (as with the not-quite-matching sox) and when one is willing to allow one sock to slip down and wrinkle about the ankle whilst the other is pulled tight to the knee. sock garters almost always guarantee a word or two.
Good morning, Ladies. I'd like to compliment you on you posts this morning. Thank you.
You want to hear more about my vag, right?
I charge for that ;)
And SG: I compliment you on your sales expertise.
Oh yeah. Nurses love my veins. They look like they were laid onto my arms, instead of being inside them.
some guy asked me for a kiss outside seven eleven...
not sure what to think
My new boyfriend keeps telling me I'm really smart. I kind of want him to stop.
I want a new boyfriend.
And/ or someone who tells me I'm smart.
All I got is my counsellor, and she just implies she doesn't understand me...
I like strange compliments. :)
This little f'ing 19 year old stood at the counter at the gas station the other day and told me he thought I was very beautiful. It was strange because he was so young...The younger fops usually ignore me completely. Oh, and I had left the house looking shitty, and didn't care until that point. I laffed.
"warning lights... next to the danger signs"
Is inscrutable an acceptable substitute for strange?
Actually, I'm pretty sure it wasn't a compliment, now that I think about it.
I have been told on two separate occasions by two different swim coaches in the last month that I have great (hip) rotation. :D
--my hand entry however is way too close to midline.
My new boyfriend keeps telling me I'm really smart. I kind of want him to stop.
A-Haaa! And how long have you been holding that little tid-bit? Psst...Tiki has a new boyfriend.
Spill it! :p
She already did. She brought knitting on her first date with him.
Does that mean she was on pins and needles with him?
i'd tell you awl about it, but it's too long a yarn for me to spin just now.
If his name is Rumplestiltskin, now there's a story! :p
Will her new flame be referred to as a 'Tiki torch'?
I hope he is Ricky. Their kid can be Tavi.
nice one, Zen.
I once had somebody give me a strange compliment. He said, "strange brew!" I was like, "duuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuude,"
Then we went out and got drunk.
Will her new flame be referred to as a 'Tiki torch'?
Excellent. ;)
How was he?
he had the wtf are you on vibe, so no thank you
besides i dont do mexicans
I think they meant that it was very deep to your cervix. Not a "deep cervix".
bwahahahahahaaa
Brings a whole new level of meaning to the movie: The Deep, don't it?
I have a compliment for Dana:
You make pinko commies look fantastic! ;)

(did they really leave the door open while you were laying there? how horrifying!)

What about the sequel.... The Abyss.
Yup they did. I realized that hospital people don't think of things the way we mere mortals do. To me, it was decision time, with my intact genitals on the line. To them, it was Tuesday.
damn UT. That really sucks, especially for a young man. but the story was hilarious just the same. ;)
And someone, somewhere, is being turned on by reading it ...

two people have told me I have a distinguished nose
uh . . . I think that's code for "big"! ;)
Sitting in HS choir, and my friend says "you have smoker's lips." I'm like "HUH?" My other friend says "you do...the way your mouth is shaped you look like you should have one of those old time cigarette holders."
So, 14 years later I started smoking. :p
two people have told me I have a distinguished nose
uh . . . I think that's code for "big"! ;)
well......at this point I'd like to tell someone that they have a distinguished mouth.....or a distinguished ass......
just because it's funny in this particular context. unfortunately, no one in this thread really deserves it.
I could have gone with.....'that's what she meant when she said I had a distinguished cock!' but......i don't like to brag [SIZE=1](lie)[/SIZE].
I'll show you mine if he'll show you his.
uh . . . I think that's code for "big"! ;)
Cloud, you have just seriously rained on my parade :( ;)

haha
I just got my back x-rayed and she said I had a very photogenic coccyx and sacrum :lol: Apparently, most people have "gas" in there that obscures the picture.
So before you get you back x-rayed........ :fart:
DaVinci's Teh Mona Coccyx. :lol:
Jim gave me one the other day that went something like... your ass looks really good... the cellulite is supposed to be there... you're 36.
I was touched.
I think you are beautiful...but I am biased.
All of you.
:)
bwahahahahahahahaaa You really have a way with words. :D
(did they really leave the door open while you were laying there? how horrifying!)
They left the door open when they did the ultrasound on my heart as well. Gown open, boobs hanging out, techs walking by the door. Nice. :headshake

I'm pretty sure thats some sorta violation. Oh, and how about this? TELL them to shut the damn door!
yes, I would think leaving the door open is some sort of privacy violation. How stupid are these people? Haven't they ever heard of lawsuits?
I was told this week that I have a lovely pulse...
She meant that it was really easy to take, and also a good even rhythm.
They check me every day (am attending an acute mental health day hospital) and it's been going down steadily since last week. In fact they might even discharge me next week.
