What's the weirdest compliment/backhanded insult you've ever gotten?

[NOT Sword Fighter Super]

What the title says.

I once had somebody tell me that I had Popeye arms.

 

[WhoBusTank69]

Somebody told me, sounding genuinely impressed, that I have big elbows.

 

[Marco Fucko]

Somebody once told me that the world is gonna roll me because I'm not the sharpest tool in the shed.

 

[BoingoTango]

Aw, that's the cutest dick I've ever seen!

 

[Vampirella]

My father in law says I'm his favorite daughter in law, I'm his only daughter in law.

 

[Sprig of Parsley]

"You're really good at using chopsticks."

I mean, I'll take it I guess. I'm not actually that good with them, but I guess compared to my company at that time I was part fucking Chinese.

 

[Chichan]

I am really naive and I had a brain fart during a conversation with my used to be crush. I had realized I said something stupid and was feeling a bit inferior about it to which he replied at least you are attractive. My ego was definitely feeling that bruise.

 

[Lemmingwise]

"Wow you look like Tom Cruise with a lot of imagination."

 

[SigSauer]

What the title says.

I once had somebody tell me that I had Popeye arms.

One person told me I look like Slenderman and on another occasion she told me I looked like Luffy from One Piece. I don’t where this came from.

Either "you'd be really good looking if you were taller' or "for a guy, you have very feminine looking hands and feet"

 

[MediocreMilt]

I had an art teacher tell me he was glad I was having fun.
(The implication of the statement felt like he was saying I wasn't improving)

Something similar. Had a professor say she could tell I worked hard on my writing workshop submissions.

She did give them As, except the poetry submission she gave a B. But still, not sure what to make of that. Never got any useful critique out of her, either.

"for a guy, you have very feminine looking hands and feet"

It's weird being told you have nice feet. It still would have been weird if a woman had said it.

 

[Takodachi]

"You have such beautiful and long hair" mostly from women.
I mean... i guess i'll take it, since i'm desperately need of acceptance, but it feels weird to hear something like that, specially when I dont really take care of my hair.

I’ve been told I have beautiful eyelashes, lol.

In my tenth grade English class, a girl whom I cannot stand said she cannot believe how smart lurk_moar is. Really bitch you have been in quite a few of my classes. This was over twelve years ago, so I don’t really remember her exact words or name really. All I knew it was a backhanded compliment about me knowing a lot.

My response to anyone who said I was smart was to say "I know." It shuts them up.

 

[Ma Wang]

A black guy called me a nigger.

 

[Fek]

I was once ushered forcibly with gleeful joy out into a somewhat busy intersection in [a very large city] and called a "white nigger" thrice over by a very charming nubian fellow. I felt culturally enriched and humbled by his warm and accepting compliment as he ran away to find others to inspire.

My dad was invited to his adviser's house for dinner. When he walked in, he found the professor's young son scrutinizing him from the doorway. Before my dad could say hello, the son shouted back into the kitchen, "You're right, Dad! He DOES look like Pierce Brosnan's fat brother!"
