5. When my husband lost 75 lbs, a coworker told him he was "almost handsome."
How's that for a back-handed compliment?

Re: why I don't have a girlfriend, and ironically said by a woman.

I get that one too, from men as to why I don't have an SO. (boyfriend sounds so, not right, when you're 46...)

9. Yep.
What makes things worse is my neighbor, who goes through women like they're going out of style, and he's not necessarily a "mean" guy, but not the most stable one, either.

:hi:

6. My late father-in-law's favorite...
At the end of any home improvement project:

"You know, it looks so good you really don't notice how crooked it is."

He was always joking, and I never miss an opportunity to use it myself.

15. "Wow, you're not as chubby as you used to be."
Said to me while handing over a few photos of me & friends taken several months before.

(BTW, I hadn't considered myself to be at all fat or chubby even at the time the pix were taken!)

18. Not so much a compliment but a veiled threat.
I was nineteen, working a summer job at a warehouse. I was up on a ladder when a co-worker on the ground, looking up, said to me "If you were a women, you would stand a good chance of getting raped". Luckily I only had about a week left before school resumed.

20. You might want to get extra support, for the little one
(said by a woman in the lingerie department)

"I'm not pregnant - I just have terrible posture"

"Oh, well, women get pregnant so old these days you never know."

"I'd stop right there before you dig yourself even deeper"

She didn't even look embarrassed!

24. Wow
"That cow lick is really something!"

And any hairdresser should know the difference between beautiful natural curls and waves and a cow lick!

I found a new hair salon!

25. I was taking a drama class in junior college and doing a scene from "Short Eyes"
Edited on Mon Sep-17-07 08:22 PM by Pushed To The Left
I was playing the part of the child molester. The drama teacher told me after our scene, "I could see you doing this role!" Thanks A LOT! :puke:
