Recently, Reddit user u/dannydevitocuddles asked, "What's the weirdest compliment you've ever received?" And the responses did not disappoint!
1. "'Your oral cavity is wonderful to work with! So spacious!' — My dentist."
2. "Was told I have a beautiful brain while doing a paid MRI study."
3. "Nurse said I had the legs to pull off a mini skirt. Not bad for a big, bald, and beardy tattooed dad."
4. "'You've got veins a heroin addict would kill for.' — By the phlebotomist taking blood samples for my first pregnancy check up."
5. "'You look like you read books for fun.'"
6. "'You have a cool left ear.' All I could think was, 'Well WTF is wrong with the right one?' Lol."
7. "After handing back a police report I filled out describing the events of a man jumping off an overpass, aiming for my car in a presumed suicide attempt: 'This is really good! Have you done this before?'"
8. "'Nice stream bro.' — While I was peeing in a bathroom at Chicago O'Hare."
9. "'My therapist likes you. They think you're a good influence.'"
10. “'You smell like a rainbow just out of the dryer!'— Told to me by a second grade student several years ago."
11. "A coworker complimented me on a haircut once. She said, 'Your hair looks great, it makes it look like you shower!' Weird compliment, considering I get the same haircut once a month and I shower at least once a day."
12. "'You're not beautiful, but you're photogenic.' Oh thanks I guess..."
13. "I was cleaning a guinea pig enclosure at a zoo I was interning at. The piggies were in a playpen so I wouldn't disturb them and I was alone in the enclosure. Some older lady knocks on the glass and says, 'Well, aren't you the cutest little guinea pig I've ever seen!' I didn't know what to say to that, so I just kinda laughed awkwardly and went back to cleaning. She watched me for a few minutes and left."
14. "I’m a guy and I was out walking. A dude rolled up in a car asking if I would be interested in doing porn because, 'the girls would love me.'”
15. "Local coroner sees me walking down street. He said, 'Hello. My, you look natural today.'”
16. "'You look like Gollum, but in a really cute way!' I think it was a really bad attempt in flirting, and he wanted to flatter me, but I just ended up feeling self-conscious about my ears."
17. “'Wow! Did you get plastic surgery to get your chin like that?'"
18. "'I love your cheekbones, they look like an elf's.' It was so oddly specific. I didn't even know elves were famous for their cheekbones or that being called an elf was a good thing."
19. "'You are like lasagna. Lasagna just makes people happy.' –Told to me by a patient."
20. “'I would carry your baby.' — We’re both 17 and nobody has ever even approached me for anything other than notes and homework. I was a bit taken aback, but realized it was probably just a bizarre compliment."
21. Lastly, "If anyone ever murders me, I hope it's you."
