Best Compliments?

[civvver]

I don't know, people rarely compliment me. I guess they all just get accustomed to my all around excellence.

Actually a lot of people seem to enjoy my cooking. Nothing fancy but I usually hand out samples to the neighbors when I am grilling and they love it. Mostly cus to them cooking is like putting a frozen pizza in the oven so the bar is not very high. I remember we were all drinking at a neighbor's house after a kid's birthday party. We had eaten hamburgers for dinner but it was late now and the host didn't have more food and my wife said she could really go for pizza. So I went home, split a bag full of hot dog buns in half, put sauce and cheese a pepperoni on them and baked them so they were like little pizzas. You would've thought I was serving mana from heaven or something to those drunken fools, they loved them.

Sometimes my daughter says I'm the best dad ever. It's usually after I give her candy.

Feel good compliment:
"You look just like that actress... Oh jeez, what's her name again?"

Nightmare compliment:
Years ago it was "Hey, aren't you...?"

Steve Buscemi?

I kid, I kid...

The best compliments tend to be the ones which are intended simply as facts.
Today and yesterday, I've had age coming into conversation, and people thinking I was 30 to 32.
Being 39 in two monthes (and being pretty depressed about aging in general), it counts a lot ^^

In response to my marriage proposal.
"I suppose. Dickhead."

Careful now. I might have to get a moderator... Oh wait...

In response to my marriage proposal.
"I suppose. Dickhead."

Just how did you propose to get such an answer ?

 

[Disgustipated]

Not sure I ever got a compliment, from a guy at least. Hmmm

I have two tied for first place, both said by the same woman on different nights: "You're amazing" and "You're driving me crazy"

Three times I've been asked to be in the wedding party by people that worked for me.
They all said they asked me because if I hadn't believed in them they wouldn't have been successful.
There is no better compliment.

Something like...
"After you're admitted to the Bar on Thursday, we might as well make a job lot
of it and go down to the Registry and get married. What do you reckon?"

As far as I'm concerned, if that was the response to a wedding proposal, for all practical purposes, you were already married.

We first met 15 years before that and anyway, it's just the response
I expected from a feminist lawyer.
46 year anniversary this December.
Maybe I should buy her a vanity table so she can sit at it and weep about men
like other women do.

Dunno about the 'best' compliment I've ever had -- I'm not that good at handing them out, and tend to distrust/ ignore/ forget any that come my way -- but the most recent genuine, unsolicited, and surprising (to me) compliment I've had, is from last summer. I'm kinda embarrarrassed about it, TBH (but obviously not enough to prevent me posting it here!). Anyway...

During our family holiday beach-days, I brought along our boys' then-current bedtime-story book (Order of the Phoenix), so I could read them a chapter or two as an enticement out of the sun, if necessary (or if they asked). Towards the end of the holiday, I did this at a beach a half-hour bus-ride from our hotel, that we'd not visited before. While we were packing up to leave at the end of the day, a complete stranger walked over from his sun-umbrella a dozen meters away, congratulated me for getting his kids (both older than our two) to sit still and quiet for half an hour (for the first time that holiday) while they listened in on the exploits of Harry and co. (ironic: I had been trying to keep my voice down, to avoid disturbing people!), and asked me if I'd ever seen the movie(s) (well, yuh).

What could I say? I mumbled some thanks, told him I was glad his kids had enjoyed it too, and agreed that, yes, I had indeed mostly ripped off the movie-characters' speech-patterns and accents (if I say so myself, I do a pretty good Hagrid and Ganda-... sorry, Dumbledore, but Alan Rickman is -- and will always be -- the King... of Sssnape *narrows eyes, glares*).

I don't get very much complements. Though I was complemented as a Pro Sombra player after meeting a guy in an Overwatch comp match.

I can't remember the last compliment I received that I actually believed which for me is a requirement for a compliment being taken seriously or ranked.

This is pretty much my feelings for any complement I'd recive.

Lately i've been getting a lot of positive comments about my writing. More than in the past. I suppose it is largely due to people having to read you before they like the writing ^^
