I've had several people throughout my life tell me they like my earlobes. Had a friend as a kid, and her adoptive dad was obsessed with them. He was a very quirky and funny person, it was never creepy but still weird.

"You have the most beautiful intestines!" And several other similar things as I was checked for cancer.
I don't know how weird it is but I've been told a few times that I have a "calming presence". It's a very nice compliment, just don't understand why or how.
This is sometimes what happens when someone grows up around someone who is volatile or unpredictable.
Natural adaptation.
Could that be why?
Irish people ask me what part of Ireland I’m from. I must do an amazing Irish accent despite being Scottish and have never visited there. I blame the fact that central Edinburgh doesn’t have a strong Scottish accent and lots of Londoners/Americans study here.
Several nurses have commented on my veins. Like to the point where I felt like I was getting hit on.
Just last week, someone left a note for me saying I'm a "goddess among mortals" for making a carrot cake without raisins.
I'm an overweight 40-year-old man with a beard. She hadn't seen who made the cake, so she was just making a guess that the baker was a woman, but still. Funny experience.
She's right. Cooked raisins are an abomination. You're a hero.
raisins are an abomination
She is correct. You are absolutely divine for excluding raisins, you radiant goddess, you!
Oh shit, you are a goddess among mortals! Carrot cake is one of my all time favorites so I keep trying it despite being disappointed every time that someone put raisins in it. It’s just mean.
Embrace the joy, Goddess.
I’m 38, male, chubby, can’t grow a beard for shit.
Raisins are wank. You’re “a goddess among mortals”.
First girl I ever kissed complimented me on my nice looking hands at the teenybopper bar. Weird at the time, took me a couple of decades to realize women look at our hands, think of us touching them.
"If your humor was a person I would fuck it"
you did get laid that night, right?
"I'm the vessel, fuck me. It's as close as it gets."
"You eat rice like Chinese person"
From the lady behind the counter as I was watching some bullshit on my phone and eating mapo tofu
I keep meaning to make sticky rice at some point. I also tend to eat rice with chopsticks at Chinese restaurants, but anywhere else the rice is too loose
I'm not even sure what that could mean. Maybe using chopsticks instead of a fork? I've always just eaten food with whatever utensil is typically used for that type of cuisine. I think most people, Chinese or otherwise, eat Chinese food with chopsticks, don't they?
I think it was that I had picked up the takeout container close to my face and was using the chopsticks to shovel rice into my maw as I watched some video.
That's just how you eat rice with chopsticks? How else are you supposed to do it without making a giant mess?
Western folks don't usually hold the bowl and utensils so close to the face

An ultrasound tech once told me that I have a cute spleen.
One complimented my bladder, so I guess that spleen seems mighty good about now
Nothing looks cute on an ultrasound. Humans are hardwired to see babies as cute, and even they don't look cute on an ultrasound.
So they gotta have one hell of a cutie spleen
That I have a nice phone number.
I have an evil one. It ends 666 👿
My old work number used to have a 404 area code. I work in tech. It was a fun inside joke.
"You like like a modern interpretation of some Greek god of spice" I had a spig of rosemary tucked behind my ear and a shirt that reads "why so salty"
Her "you look like Kevin federline"
Me "well fuck you too"
Her "what?! He's hot!"
Me "I stand by my statement"
I honestly forgot he existed
From my ENT: You've got a very well maintained nose.
Uhm, thanks?
“I can tell you’re not a habitual cocaine user”
I was once told that I ‘look like I’m going to ask someone to the Sadie Hopkins dance’. I assume they just meant I looked nice/dressed up, but it just struck me as interesting phrasing. Random people just tend to talk to me; a couple weeks ago I was at the gas station and an older guy struck up a conversation and commented that it was nice to see someone smile ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sounds like they may have been referring to the "Sadie Hawkins dance" which is a middle school highschool dance where the girls ask the guys to be their date. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sadie_Hawkins_dance
Compared to pretty much every other response, this is real bland, but I recently had a librarian at the community college I attend tell me something like how my name is a nice name.
It's not a special name in any way, just a run-of-the-mill Biblical name tons of people have. For obvious reasons, I won't tell what it is, but this is the first time I've ever gotten a compliment about my name.
Ok Ezekiel.
Probably something more boring like Bathsheba
I wish I had a name like that. Instead I have one of the more common and much more generic names.
Nurses tend to like the veins in my left arm so I've had a few comments on that.
Oh I get this one. It's usually along the lines of "the blood bank would love to have you" or even "I could find your veins blindfolded"
I have the perfect hands to be a surgeon.
I "chew sexy"....was eating pizza at a girlfriend's house.
