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

She was just happy you made her job easy. Sometimes it's like dowsing for oil and sometimes it's easy where to draw blood.

Oh good, I did make sure my blood was flowing beforehand because last time I went in cold and lethargic after a rough day in winter so they had trouble finding a vein. The nurse doing it then seemed unusually pissed off so I wanted to avoid that this time.
 
My mother has told me many times that I was the fun child. She means one of two things, I was a hand full growing up (very possible), or my sister is boring.
 
I saw a bunch of hot takes on Rubio and the other guy bring there and how impossible it would be that somebody you disagree with at one point could get along with you.
I suppose a fellow could read something in to that if they were so inclined.

Pretty much. Mine apparently aren't the easiest to hit, last time I donated blood she moved that damn needle around and around and finally gave up and called over a vampire veteran to figure it the fuck out.

The doctor missed my vein and the pain medication that they put in me inflated my arm and caused a rash and no one believed there was anything wrong at first even though it kept burning and my arm was swelling up bastards.

There's your problem. Docs are shit at phlebotomy. You want an actual vampire, a phlebotomy tech nurse. They're specialized and they generally know what the fuck they're doing if they've been at it a while.

Sorry I used doctor as a catch all term it probably was a phlebotomy nurse she just sucked.

"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.

This may not be a backhanded compliment. Lots of people that try to have long hair and it starts to look kinda bad and frizzy.
 
A school report stated that I possessed "A well developed sense of anti-authoritarianism and contempt for accepted social and moral values"
The asshole meant it as a biting criticism, reality it was the best thing he could have written. I still have that report, still fills me with pride. Even my parents were proud because that guy was such a douchebag.

Some totally random guy who I'd never met (but who had apparently seen me around my college) complimented me on my weight loss. I mean, good that it shows but a weird way to greet a person for the first time.
 
I got fired from a job at a major metropolitan area and the guy who fired me told me "you just aren't corporate enough" for this job.

And I was like wow. Because even though that meant I was really fucked in the short term.

I was like wow, I really am not corporate enough.

I am not corporate enough. Yes. Thanks.
