What's a weird compliment you got?

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.

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”.
Who the fuck puts raisins in a carrot cake?
I have honestly never experienced an abomination. Not that there is anything wrong with raisins, but in carrot cake?
- This is standard in US-style carrot cakes
- Raisins in cinnamon rolls is the true crime
- The recipe I used actually suggested raisins in the cake and walnuts in the frosting. While I don't mind either on their own or in other things, carrot cake is supposed to be creamy and smooth. If I wanted crunch or chew, I'd choose...I dunno, german chocolate or something.
- Most carrot cakes I've had contained raisins. I don't think it's chiefly an American thing but it definitely seems common enough.
  
  I hate it. Anything that dramatically breaks up the texture of a food like that is a culinary mistake.
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.
She's right. Cooked raisins are an abomination. You're a hero.
- raisins are an abomination

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.

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

Nothing looks cute on an ultrasound. Humans are hardwired to see babies as cute, and even they don't look cute on an ultrasound.
One complimented my bladder, so I guess that spleen seems mighty good about now

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

I had a teacher once that got turned on by veins. I found out after graduating because I met her at a bar and she was horny as hell from seeing my forearms. I use to climb a lot so veiny arms are part of the deal. So, a compliment about my veiny forearms was... special.
they just do that sometimes, it's normal
source: dad was a nurse

My female colleague told me the other day I'd make a great dad because my tattoos are all black and white and that would be great for kids because they could color them.

What 😭

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

Uhm, thanks?

“I can tell you’re not a habitual cocaine user”

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."

Average dutch person

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

I need more context 😭
Yeah. Let's see the model cock, sir

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"
- Yeah I got "wow, I could hit that by throwing a dart from across the room!" I am a favorite of phlebotomists, and I guess could be a successful junkie.
Got laid once because of my veiny arms so, not only nurses like them.

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?
- Oh. Well that tracks, yeah.
- I'm in this picture and I don't like it

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.

Being complimented by the urologist on my shaving for a vasectomy.

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

What a weird thing for her dad to say.

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

there was a comment thread where there was something along the lines of "when my roommate peed you could HEAR how his urethra was wider than a normal person" and I don't know how to feel about it
This is disturbing

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
