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....

Kegel Olympics?

: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.

And you took that as a compliment? :eyebrow:
