Everyone loves to receive a compliment, and it’s shown that giving and receiving compliments boosts self esteem and the giver receives a little happiness too. So, sharing is caring! However, sometimes compliments can be back-handed, or just not come out right. We’ve found 8 true stories of compliments that didn’t go as expected. What’s the weirdest compliment you’ve ever received? Let us know in the comments!
- “I think if you lost some weight, you would actually be really pretty.”
C1arkebaR on Reddit said another girl once said this too her. That’s uncool!
- “Your dick isn’t as small as I expected.” Cagethepanda on Reddit received this compliment(?).
- “You have nice teeth. I wish I could take them and keep them for myself.” Abort, abort, this dude is weird as hell! Chinlahdin on Reddit made a lucky escape.
- “Aww, you used to be so pretty!” A cashier said as she was handed this woman’s ID. She had no makeup on and just came back from the gym. If that were me, I would’ve left my booze on the table and just left the store.
- “If you were a fart, I’d never let you out because you’re the shit.” We’re actually pondering this pickup line…
- “A guy once told me my hair was really pretty, like a horse. Genuinely meant to be a compliment apparently.” Meh, we’ll take it.
- “You have the face I make on The Sims” This is weirdly specific, but it could be a compliment – we suppose.
- “I have many stories, but the weirdest by far was being told that I had ‘a really beautiful butthole’ — so that’s that!” We think we’d take that as a compliment.
