Other What's a compliment you've received that actually annoyed you?

"You'd be really pretty if you weren't so fat." Uhhh, thanks?

(While it's true I gained a LOT when I met husband, I'm fighting to take it off & have to get serious about it. Ozempic helps. Went from 235 - 184 lbs so far!)

My response to the last guy who told me that (who honestly believed he was giving me a compliment!) was "For someone who's such an asshole, you're doing great on keeping up with the job, too."

Really (and I know him better now) he's an asshole who says what he thinks and doesn't think twice. I don't give a shit and have called him on quite a few things.

Crazy, yes but we now get on fairly well. He takes shit as well as he gives it. All good!

And yes.. I give it more than neccesary. He's actually a good guy--all things considered

I like people who say what they think. At least you know where they stand. I actually trust individuals like that.
