Reddit user ivylolaxx asked: 'What is a weirdly specific compliment you’ve received that stuck with you?'

It is scientifically proven that there is little that makes people feel better than giving and receiving compliments.

Be they ever so simple as a "nice sweater" or a bit more significant, such as how much someone appreciates the help and comfort another provided.


Of course, not all compliments go how we might want them to.

Sometimes, compliments get misconstrued, and instead of putting our minds at ease, they cause our minds to race and ask questions.

Other times, we tend to wonder if we were complimented at all.

Owing to how specific bizarre compliments are.

Redditor ivylolaxx was eager to hear the most specific compliments people were ever given, which still linger in their minds to this day, leading them to ask:

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Sometimes you can just tell when something was designed *for* women, but was not actually designed *by* women.

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital
