Is that even a compliment...?

Heeeeey, what the... Jenny whats that about? Weird, yes but Creepy? Is this because I talked about Tea on one of your threads in one post... just once.

No, it's what's known as a joke. Although you are very strange and it does concern me.

Ah, I concern everyone... it's a gift and a curse. XD

What makes you think it's a gift???? Cause one of these days, they'll ship you off to the mental institute. Actually, I have them on speel dial ready and waiting.....

Whats a "speel dial"? XD

And what? I am weird, not insane.

Speed dial is where you can dial a specific number really quickly IE I expect you to go insane at any moment and I am ready to call the mental institute.

And no, course you're not insane.... at the moment.....

Of course I know what "speed dial" is, but you said "speel dial" in the firts one.

And if would be fun to be insane, I would get crazy amounts of respect... the pun was intended. XD

Anything with "different".

Oh gee you have a different sense of humor.

This! I've found that a lot of people say this to me, and I'm left wondering if it was actually a compliment or they were just left confused by my completely irrelevant and otherwise sarcastic humor.

Or: "Nice hat, miss." by a sales clerk. Last I checked, I was a dude.

I have been mistaken for a girl soooooo many times...

I got mistaken for a woman once, while playing cricket?!? I was confused and then the cricket ball hit me just under my knee cap, we all know kinda that pain.

Ouch... but, by 'so many times', I mean that I basically don't go out anymore without being mistaken for a girl. For a couple of examples, read this: http://www.fictionpress.com/s/2611840/1/Im_Not_Laughing

"What can I get you two fine ladies?" That cracked me up. It's happened to my dad at least twice (Or so I gathered...).

I think an odd compliment was once thrown at me, but I can't remember.

What about the ending, though? Do you know how embarrassing that was?

Yes. "...They're lesbians!"

"You're smart for a football player."
or
"You're really attractive/athletic for a nerd"

 

[Gotham Soul]

"Wow, you dress kind of like an anime character."

 

[Xorghul]

"Now that I've gotten to know you, you really aren't as negative as you seem."

Well, that's good to know I guess...

EDIT: Oh! I got carded at the grocery store last night for a single bottle of beer. I'm 39.

Annoying? And probably kinda awesome to look like 20 at 40, yes?

I must have looked really shocked, because the cashier looked rather shocked back. Looking young runs in the family. My mom got carded up until she was 35, but this means I totally beat her record. I actually got carded back when I was 36 for an 18+ manga/.

But really when you get right down to it, sun exposure ages the skin, having kids gives women wide, middle-aged butts and I have no kids, and I do not generally act or dress like a grownup. That's why everyone guesses a decade low on my age. So being a rather stereotypical, immature, no-life gamer definitely has an upside.

I get some odd compliments, an occupational hazard of being odd among odd people, but the only dubious one was also the single greatest compliment I have ever recieved. The context and person has a huge effect on just why it stands out, but the words themselves were, spoken in total seriousness:

"I hope you kill me"​

I recommend you don't feel privileged, the OP is a bit of a weird and creepy guy who chats up any girl in sight.....

good to know. XP
