Ask Lemmy

"Whoever did your circumcision did a really good job." :/

As I was sitting at my desk with some tea and a stroopwaffel, one of my coworkers commented that I "really knew how to live."

"You have the most beautiful intestines!" And several other similar things as I was checked for cancer.

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.

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.

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.

Several nurses have commented on my veins. Like to the point where I felt like I was getting hit on.

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.

"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

"If your humor was a person I would fuck it"

An ultrasound tech once told me that I have a cute spleen.

That I have a nice phone number.

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.

Her "you look like Kevin federline"

Me "well fuck you too"

Her "what?! He's hot!"

Me "I stand by my statement"

"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"

From my ENT: You've got a very well maintained nose.

Uhm, thanks?

Nurses tend to like the veins in my left arm so I've had a few comments on that.

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.

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)_/¯

I have the perfect hands to be a surgeon.

I "chew sexy"....was eating pizza at a girlfriend's house.
