Best compliment ever given to you?

This thread was inspired by the Worst Thing You've Ever Been Called thread. I thought a positive one would be nice, and I'd like to hear all the nice things people say. :smile:

I think some of the best compliments come from strangers. One time I was at the gym on the treadmill, looking (what I thought was) horrid, and an older gentleman walked by and said "I love your tattoos, and that smile! What a gorgeous smile you have!" I thought that was absolutely sweet of him.

The other day I was at a busy bus stop, and a lady stopped her conversation to tell me "You are beautiful! I don't know what it is but wow, maybe it's your eyes.. no, it's the whole package. Just beautiful." And told me she wasn't hitting on me, just flirting, haha. But I was smiling for the rest of the day!

Let's hear the best compliments you've ever gotten that you'll remember forever. :heart:

    Nurses are so underrated here, and some of them are so grumpy. You must be fantastic, and congrats for being a favorite!

    Not one specifically, but I personally love when any stranger compliments me. They certainly don't have to, and as I like to say, if they really didn't like whatever it was they complimented, they just wouldn't say anything.

    I was at a formal function with my husband when he introduced me to the wife of one of his coworkers. After learning my name she began to praise my appearance, telling me that I was beautiful, a show stopper, and that I truly stood out in the crowd. It was so nice to hear when I was already standing in a room full of people dressed to the nines.

    "Wow, you are so skinny" or the fact that I've been labeled "Barbie". I mean she has everything so hey why not :)

    I love it when someone tells me how well behaved my kids are :smile:

    ^This^ I just went to school conferences and kept hearing from the teachers what a joy my kids are (they're 13, so that's not something you get every day any more!), and how grateful they are to have them in their classes. They kept complimenting me on what a great job I've done with them. That was the best compliment I could've gotten all year!!!
  • Mine is nothing too exciting but I quite liked it! "Most smart people are really ugly... But you're not." By some random person at a college open day from another table. It's a double compliment: smart AND not really ugly!

    "If you were a garbage bag, you would totally be the purple scented ones" We were hitting on each other and bagging groceries(when I was like 16 or 17 haha) By far the most awesome one ever!

    Besides the obvious "I love you", I'd say it was "I used to think you were rather stupid".
  • I was told "You have an amazing way of thinking, it's beautiful and energetic. Plus it doesn't hurt that your eyes are like jewels and lips like the petals of a red rose"

    Now that right there, made me get all happy inside.

    I had both a grandmother and uncle not recognize me earlier this year. I had an aunt to pass on and, at the funeral, I had people come up and ask me who I was. Kinda weird, but that is how much change occurred.
  • While at the gym, I was told I have nice quads and hamstring!

    I think the best was since I still remember it. I was in a grocery store & there were 2 women in the milk section across from the bread as I went pass them to get some bread as I turned I saw them checking me out. As I passed them I said have a good day and they said they were now

    A compliment that I have seemed to have gotten over and over again in my life and one I always appreciate is that I have good posture!! I'm a nurse and lots of patients will tell me they see me walking up and down the hall and that I have beautiful posture. I take it as a great compliment!! :)
