Worst compliment ever...

[mcctatas]

so I go to Starbucks to get a coffee and this man keeps staring at me and finally says "Is your name ******?" I reply "Yep, did we go to HS together?" and he says "Yeah, I'm so and so but wow, you're aging better than the rest of us" :wtf:

Might as well have said "you aren't half bad for an old broad"

[billyskank]

1. Doh!

I'm sure he meant well, but... compliment FAIL! :hi:

[redqueen]

2. Someone actually said that to me...

"you look good for an older woman."


Gee, thanks a lot. :rofl:

[mcctatas]

4. OMG...

I hope you kicked his/her ass!

[redqueen]

6. Heheh... naaaah...

at my age, I'll take any compliments I can get. :P

[Magrittes Pipe]

9. You're totally hot, considering you're an old bag.

:loveya:

[redqueen]

13. You go away!

Hippie earworm-spreading... person! x(

:)

[Starbucks Anarchist]

14. You look good for any age.

[redqueen]

3. That's pretty awesome.

"Wow, we're the same age, but you don't look nearly as old as I do!"

:rofl:

[Orsino]

7. Yeah, this strikes me as a high compliment.

Perhaps "aging" is a dirty word? shrug:

[eyesroll]

5. I've gotten "WOW! I didn't know you were SO OLD!" from classmates.

I'm 33. They're 25, give or take. It's not really a huge difference but you would have thought I'd said I was 90.

8. Look on the bright side. I got told "Hey you're lookin' good for a guy your age" yesterday.

:crazy:

10. I said something stupid once when I was trying to be nice

A lady was helping me in the library several years ago, she was very nice. I asked her when the baby was due. She said she wasn't pregnant just fat.

[mcctatas]

17. OMG, I did that exact same thing only worse...

me: "Well at least you'll have time to lose the baby weight before swimsuit season"
her: "I'm not pregnant"

:yoiks:

11. I got carded yesterday

at 35 :bounce:

[mcctatas]

12. Braggart!

actually I get carded a lot too but I think it's because I'm short.

[MrCoffee]

18. They card everyone who tries to buy Swank, a 5th of Wild Turkey and a box of .45 hollow-points

You're on a list somewhere.

[mcctatas]

19. ...

:spray:

you owe me one new monitor!

[DS1]

20. Swank?

Swank is for amateurs

15. actually you should take it as a compiment

if only because he is the same age. Sure, he could have just said "wow, you look great!" or similar, but sufferers of Y Chromosome disorder are often a bit lacking in the social skills and clues departments.

I had showed some friends pics of my HS reunion which I did not go to. Most of them said something similar, including "you went to school with those people? They look like they're 5-10 years older than you." I thought it was nice.

21. I guess I don't understand the preoccupation with denying the inevitable.

We ARE all aging aren't we?

[mcctatas]

22. You're a dude...

you can age and still be considered attractive, it is harder if you don't have a broken X chromosome ;)

[redqueen]

23. Praise Jeebus for boob jobs and face lifts!

:woohoo:

:P

[mcctatas]

24. Shhhhhh...

don't tell them our secrets! :rofl: Of course personally, I have been blessed by good genes and clean living :rofl:

[redqueen]

25. I've been blessed by the

"I just don't give a fuck" gene. :D

:hi:

[Schema Thing]

27. well, you're doing a damn good job of it,

old woman.

:P~

[LoveMyCali]

26. I actually had one that was worse than that

It was the first day of my news internship and I was introduced to a new co-worker who said "Well, you certainly have the looks to make it in this business."
To which I responded "We're in a radio station."
