Any that ever just stuck with you and you still remember a long time later?

    Not unusual and memorable for the wrong reasons but when people tell me I look great for being a mom! 😤😤

    Probably the most memorable/unusual - Years ago I was eating dinner at Outback and the waitress got right up next to my eyeball (seriously) and said my eyes looked like "Ella Enchanted" (Anne Hathaway).

    One that I've had a bunch of times and find strange - yet LOVE - is when I'm wearing anything with my alma mater on it and people ask if I played sports there. I was totally sedentary and close to 300 lb back in college and one lady even said I had a basketball player build. I laughed for the rest of that day.

    I was working as a bouncer at a country night club and this girl came up to me and said "Opie, is that you." This is when Sons of Anarchy was a big hit. At the club we wore these biker style vests and I was dressed pretty much like I am in my profile pic.

    "you have a perpendicular face"
    ...was that a compliment?
    I heard "you look like a man"

    When I was a young teen my friend told me that other girls tried to act like me but with me it was real.
    I have no idea what that meant but I took it as a compliment

    I had a friend who was 6' tall and her boyfriend 6'5"
    We had gone to a Halloween party then decided to play pool after at their place. Being short, 4'11" , I've always worn heels for the most part. I took off my shoes and when the boyfriend stood next to me he said "Oh how cute.... you're like a Midget!" I'm pretty sure that it was meant as a compliment 🤨

    I used to get carded way into my 40's. It was a bit disheartening when that stopped. But now, on the other side of the coin, at 66 I have to beg for senior discounts. :)

    Back when we first met the SO called me "a little bitty thing". I'm 5'9" and I was in heels at the time. However, he's 6'9" so perspective is everything.

    I'm SORT OF tall (5'8") but I was the tallest student by far in elementary school, like 5'4" and taller than every 5th grader even when I was in 3rd grade...taller than several of my teachers even. My bubble was SO burst when I got to middle school (6th grade) and there were tons of girls taller than my 5'6" at the time...and a dozen boys too. :D My dad was a burly 6'4" back then and everyone assumed I'd be over 6 feet. Nah. Quit growing at 14.
