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:

Odd because it came from a guy. At that time in my life I was uhh.... moderately bodacious, and my eyebrows were pretty much last on the list of things guys noticed! ;)

Glinda as a Washington intern, circa 1984.

Guys notice eyebrows. My ex said mine were very "feminine." *shrugs*

FTR I've never noticed a woman's eyebrows, positively or negatively.

Only time I ever notice them are when they're plucked out and pencilled on. eeeewwww....

yeh, I'm with you. That has to be one of the worst things a woman can do to her appearance. Plucking out her natural eyebrows and then painting in some fake lines... WTF?

That one seems to have gotten pretty creative with the lips, too.

I'm fairly sure that was an offer rather than merely an observation.

That's why he said it. If he had said anything else you'd have probably just chalked it up to another line. It ain't easy being original. ;)

btw, Glinda, you have a beautiful perineum.

I was told I had 'very white' sclera.

Oh, and the best one -- a woman came up to me in the mall when I was about 12, and asked me how I kept my great tan, even in winter!

Wolf told me I had a nice placenta. I guess it was a compliment? lol

I was once complimented by a hairdresser on the speed my hair grows...

...as she gasped for breath amid the writhing, clinging mass of tentacle-like tresses...

:D Well, it definitely caught my attention. I'd say he succeeded!

:eek: Have we met before?

??? you can't see it in that picture!

and I, for one, am glad

Damn right, the last thing I want to see is Reagan's perineum. :haha:

I was kinda wondering the same thing. :D

Glinda: WE have!

And then I woke up. Damn.

There, there, Cap'n.

Rest your poor haid upon my boooosom..... ;)

And check out those eyebrows!

Thank You.

Had to have a CT scan last night... the CT tech told me I have a "lovely spine". I wasn't sure what to say to that, other than, "Well, thank you" :)

You could say (a la Sophia Loren) "Everything you see I owe to pasta!"

True, but wouldn't a good skeletal structure be more owed to milk?

Yes, but then it wouldn't be a la Sophia Loren - it would be a "Got Milk?" commercial.

:lol: that's very true, Brianna, and I'd much rather be a la Sophia Loren than a commercial ;)

Was he a Congressman?

...and how wide was his stance?

Your eyebrows are phenomenal! as are your lips, hair, nose, & earlobes.....so are your shoulders......the nape of your neck.....your toned arms, your rock hard abs, hip bones.....that little crease that goes from there to ...another good spot..... I could go on, but I figure I've embarrassed you enough by now.

Not to mention those tonsils and very lovely molars.

I find this incredibly sweet for a husband to post! :D

I was once told by two gynecologists that I have an... erm... "very deep cervix". The first one went and got the second one because her fingers weren't long enough to reach, and then the second one couldn't reach either, and then they had a little chat about how unusual it was and how, wow, no, it's not them, it's me. :redface:

I think they meant that it was very deep to your cervix. Not a "deep cervix".

Just means you need to find someone who fits, Tiki. :D

In my 20s I found a lump on one of my testicles. This is a worst-case scenario for a 20-something. I went to have it ultrasounded.

So there I am, at the hospital, on the table, with my package all hanging out, with the lab room door open and people walking by, with a bunch of ultrasound goo on my sack and a technician rolling the ultrasound thingie over the area... and the guy reading it says "Three millimeters. You must have really sensitive fingers!"

uh thanks i guess can we get this over with real soon now

What you should have said: no, my girlfriend has a really sensitive tongue.

Yes. My cervix is deep down there. A cervix is a portal, and wouldn't be referred to as being, in itself, "deep" anymore than a door would be referred to as "deep". More like a rock at the bottom of a lake would be referred to as being deep. I phrased it the way the GYNs phrased it... the actual phrase the first one used was "Wow, your cervix is really deep, I can't reach it!" Sort of like, if you're in a cave, you are deep underground. My cervix is deep... in my vaginal canal. Thanks for giving me the chance to elucidate, I was really hoping for a chance to talk about my vagina.

:lol: seriously...

Nice vagina monologue! :p

I do my best! :D

Now.

Back to your vagina.........

wait a minute. I'm missing something here.

it's NOT a good thing when your cervix is struck by a foreign object is it? i mean....having a 'deep' cervix is probably a good thing.....right?

it's not like you were a guy and they said your cock was really long.... maybe you just have a tall cooter?

But it's the same number of nerves in a longer chassis; wouldn't that necessitate a longer probe to activate all those nerves?

what!?

You heard me. Grow a few (inches). :D
