I wore some amazing boots the other day which prompted the following conversation with a teenager at work.
Kid (smiling and blushing): Senora! You look like a Clydesdale.
Me (smiling): Uh, you shouldn't tell girls they look like a horse.
Kid (making eyes): Yeah but it's the best kind of horse.

Loved it

One of my music teachers called me a freak after finding out that I have perfect pitch.

In grade 4 someone said that she liked my teeth because they reminded her of a horse (she was horse crazy). I've since grown into my teeth.

That I am beautiful

I've had two people say that to me in person in the last month, it doesn't make any sense and it made me all shy and embarassed.

It means you're gonna get laid.

I just knew it was PG who said that to you! Now who was the second...?

Laz said a strange thing about me, it was not a compliment but it is funny, he said my eye contact felt like being pinned up against a wall.

My childs psychologist said that I was the most challenging person she had met, but insisted that it was a compliment, but i cant see how it is and still feel disgruntled.

"but you seem fairly normal"..... not even sure it was a compliment, but since an attractive said it, I'm going to pretend it was.

"You have a very slippery mind."

Makes me a picture a brain made out of eel.

I've been told:

"You have an old soul."

I've also been told:

"You're the smartest idiot in the world!"

:scratch:

I've also been called, "Touched," which I believe is polite-speak for "Not quite right," which I've also been called.

I was told I was a cute little boy when I was a child. I'm a girl... damn it.

Some man came up to me in the grocery store and told me that I have very effective eyes. :?:

Someone I just met told me "You're like that Rainman guy." He might not have meant it as a compliment (or maybe he did) but I took it that way.

I'd of found that insulting, it sounds like someones calling you slimey as in decietful and manipulative :lol:

Quote:

You have an old soul

One of my friends has an aunt whos a Clairvoyent (or however you spell it) she said something similair, that I was on my 10th life or something made no sense to me always was abit of a wacko she was.

When I first moved to Sheffield in Yorkshire I had to get used to a lot of the local sayings and some old women at a supermarket called me a "duckie" and being a Londoner by nature i instantly presumed this meant i was a lame duck cause i was slow packing my purchased goods and I was rather pissed, took awhile for me to figure out its a friendly greeting in Derbyshire along with all the other weird yorkshire-ism's up there

I'm in for some west country lovin'

Well I was being honest. Your just not gonna let that go are you. It wasn't an insult either it was just an observation that I offered just to clarify before i get accussed of trolling people at meetups

That I had the most efficient body they'd seen and that I sounded way too Australian to have come from Essex, which I think was a compliment.

Lol, after searching my feelings, I found it to be true. But since I own a winter hat with huuge bunny ears on it, I refer to myself more as a cute lil' bunny...or a squirrel, cat, hibernating bear, etc. So yes, I am a puppy with identity issues. ^_^
