worst compliment - Page 4

Oh, there's this man in Asda... gees he does my head in. You have to look over 25/30(?) to not get ID'd for stuff now. So, I go in to buy cigarettes and he asks for my ID. I reach to get it out and he said "Just kidding. It's a compliment. My Grandma always said you'll get women if you pay them compliments". I just thought, you utter b*stard, I'm 22, I'm not over 30. He's said/done this to me several times now too. I snarl at him each time he does.

My dad told me I suit being fat... a few months ago.
I was like :| pardon what now?!
He also told me my legs were getting fatter and he was glad. I was like whut?! why?! turned out he thought I didn't eat enough before, but still, way to make me feel self concious!

"what you lack in looks, you make up for in personality."
I was like yeah thanks.

I said to my mum last month

"You have a lot of different shades in your hair"

and she replied..

"It's grey Catherine, you can say it".

I thought I was being tactful.

the term "child bareing hips" scares the crap out of me..it sounds creepy

I've heard alot...but I think the worst was "I don't make fun of you because you have a gimp leg, I make fun of you because you have a weird personality"

and she's supposed to be my friend >.<

I think that goes right up there with

"you look like a corpse"

coming from my g/f at the time that WAS a compliment because I'm really pale (like un-naturally pale) but she said it a bit odd...

consequential · 14-10-2009, 03:27 AM

I got 'I made no effort and you made even less ',but thats just a right out insult isnt it .I was none too pleased.

"You look like a cardboard cutout in that picture"

He added later, that I was hot, but looked like a cutout.

It wasn't really rude, it was just...odd.

I've had a few like that ^o)

& my boyfriend told me that "I'm not fat, he doesn't date fat chicks. Only short, blonde, skinny, hot girls"

It was meant to be a compliment, but I was like -.-

My nan says things like this quite a lot to me, my mum and my sister. We know she doesnt mean it nastily but its still pretty harsh.

We've had "Oh when you've done with that t shirt i could use it as a nighty. It looks nice and big"
"I dont think i've ever been as big as you"
"Isnt it nice they make good clothes in bigger sizes now"

The best part is when me and my mum lost loads of weight, and were far too small she then complained that we were too thin.

We arent even that big! And most of it is all chest!

I've been given the whole "Child baring hips" comments many a time.

Oh & by the boyfriend...
"You have amasing legs so i don't care about the lack of boobs"

"I know you don't think your gorgeous but i'd still do you".

I didn't know quite how to take that.
He's so lovely. Ha.

QuietChaos · 14-10-2009, 09:07 PM

"hehe. your jeans make you look like your being felt up by a skeleton. I like it"

DestroyMe · 15-10-2009, 12:55 AM

"you look like you need to be a fat kid and eat some cake and stop puking"
(I do have an ED but no one but a few CLOSE friends know)
wtf O.O

I hate the 'child bearing hips' one. Even though I know I have child bearing hips, I don't want children, so I don't wanna know about it.
There was actually a thing on the radio over here about this recently, I'm sure I'll remember some of them and post them.

Rodolphus · 15-10-2009, 01:41 AM

'You don't need to lose weight, you're fine as you are. Women don't look good thin, anyway, you need a bit of weight about you.'

Thanks, Nana, for inadvertantly telling me I'm fat :P
