People say: ‘this is the strangest compliment I have ever received’

It has become a bit of asking for the known road, but still: have I been on Reddit again this week? Yes, of course. In fact, I have spent a lot of time there because I don't know what was going on this week, but I was wide awake every night. Must have something to do with the stars or something. Anyway, I have read a lot in my bed and that was actually all on Reddit. Now I do read a lot about The Real Housewives and those kinds of superficial things, but every now and then I also read really interesting topics. Like this: ‘What’s the weirdest compliment you ever received?’ And yes, I have of course listed the funniest ones for you again.

1. ‘That I have a swan-like voice. She didn't really know how swans actually sound. She gave me a compliment about how I told her that her coffee was ready when we were both working in a coffee shop.’

2. ‘Your ears look like tortellini… Delicious.’

3. ‘My eyes were brown like a very beautiful table.’

4. ‘A woman I didn't know said to me, when I was being chased by a wasp: ‘You smell very sweet and spicy, that’s why he’s chasing you. It’s very nice!’ Thank you, unknown woman, it’s now two years later and I will never forget it.’

5. ‘A girl from my high school said that I have very beautiful knees.’

6. ‘You have juicy blood vessels, I would really like to draw blood from there,’ said a friend who works in pathology.’

7. ‘You smell organic.’

8. ‘You remind me of Kermit the Frog. Not in appearance, but in vibe.’

9. ‘A woman I didn't know walked past me in the mall and told me that I had a very large, bright aura. I looked at her quite confused and she just said that she had a gift for this and wished me a nice day.’

10. ‘My wife said: ‘You really have a beautiful skull shape.’’

11. ‘When I was seventeen, a female colleague said on my first day at work: ‘You are so tall and thin, you would look beautiful pregnant.’’

12. ‘Regardless of what everyone says about you, I still think you are quite okay.’

13. And then a bonus, one that I received myself: ‘You really have a very beautiful pelvis.’ This was around three o'clock at night in a rundown Amsterdam brown café and the man in question looked very proud as if he had just given me a wonderful compliment. Uh, what?
