Something the world needs to know: I just may have this tattooed to remind them- No matter how well intentioned you think you're being, telling someone how great they look cuz they've lost a TON of weight is about as stupid as saying, "yes, you look like a cow in that dress."

What bass-akwards compliments have you *politely* endured (but secretly wanted to hurt someone)?

    You don't like being told you look great?
  • must be my feeble attempt @ humor too-

    I referring to using the word TON to describe anyone's weight loss.
    Even the largest person I know does not have 2000 lbs. to lose.

    Oh, you're balking at a common figure of speech. I see.

    I had a boyfriend tell me once that I was the only girl he didn't chose because of her looks. :huh:

    He meant it as a compliment, he said. *insert eye-rolling smiley here*
