People Break Down The Absolute Weirdest Compliment They've Ever Received

Getting compliments always makes us feel good. Well, most of the time. Sometimes the compliments are so bizarre, that we genuinely don't know how to respond. It almost makes you question everything about yourself. Here are a few examples of some weird compliments, given to the people of Reddit.

u/kcdea asked:

What is the strangest compliment you've ever received?

The next Marshall Applewhite.

"90% of women you meet won't like you. But the ones that do are gonna be obsessed with you and hang on your every word. You have the charisma of a cult leader."

Something like that. I still don't know what to think of that.

Not for sale.

I was told that I have nice legs by some random guy that didn't have legs at Wal-Mart once.

SkullStarfish

What did you say?

Bellamybells

They're not for sale.

GeorgeofJungleton

What does that even mean?

"You look like you could beat a door down," in response to asking how a pair of shorts looked.

What, like their back door?

That's so sad.

Not me, but I've read on another thread that a shy, unsocial guy was once told by his classmate (who was being repeatedly bullied in school):

I wish I could be invisible like you.

Not wrong.

"You rock two black eyes and a broken nose better than anyone I've ever seen. Your bruise matches your dress."

For context: a couple of years ago I broke my nose on the back of a stopped car while commuting on my bike. I spent three weeks walking around with—you guessed it—a broken nose and two shiners. Most people looked horrified at first sight (a couple of my teachers asked about my home life), but one girl noticed that I'd started matching my clothing to the color of my bruises out of boredom.

Now that's a weird one.

Were you a cesarean baby? Because you have the nicest shaped head.

That's uncomfortable.

That I smelt like doughnuts. This was from a very drunk man who was taken by my vanilla perfume, and then proceeded to bring all his friends over to sniff me...

Thanks?

My OB/GYN, in the middle of my Pap smear, said, "you have a wonderful pelvic floor."

I wasn't sure what to say, but my brain went on auto and said, "thank you". He just nodded and continued the exam.

So haunting.

At an airport an employee said, "You look like you should be somebody." After I said something like "Thanks...I think," he then clarified that he meant like an athlete or actor. I do think it was meant as a compliment, but since then I've been haunted by the feeling that I haven't lived up to my potential.

Mushroom Kingdom.

After cutting my hair really short :

My economy teacher : "I trust you. You are from the Mushroom Kingdom, I trust you."

This day I learned that my hair inflates like crazy sometimes.

Kid Rock Dragged After Donning A Truly Over-The-Top Outfit For His White House Visit

The rocker's outfit consisted of a red, white, and blue jacket emblazoned with two eagles facing each other above the American flag with the number 250, a nod to America's upcoming 250th anniversary, and white stars on his sleeves.

MAGA Senator Just Said The Quiet Part Out Loud With Epic Freudian Slip About Medicare

Louisiana Republican Senator Bill Cassidy was widely mocked following his inconvenient slip of the tongue during a CNBC interview as he mused about finding ways to "cut" Medicare before quickly correcting himself.

The exchange occurred after host Rebecca Quick pressed Louisiana Republican and former physician Bill Cassidy on how his party intended to fund the “trillion-dollar tax cuts” sought by President Donald Trump.

GOP Senator Gets Blunt Reality Check After Comparing Trump Tariff 'Pain' To Home Renovation

Montana Republican Senator Tim Sheehy was criticized after he tried to compare the "short-term pain" of President Donald Trump's tariffs to home renovation, a claim so ridiculous that CNN's Kaitlan Collins quickly pushed back on the analogy.

Trump has repeatedly referred to April 2 as “Liberation Day,” pledging to impose tariffs—taxes on imports—to reduce U.S. reliance on foreign goods. He has framed these tariffs as “reciprocal,” aiming to match the duties other nations place on American exports.

Liberal Wisconsin Judge Calls Out Elon Musk In Victory Speech—And It's Everything

Liberal judge Susan Crawford called out billionaire Elon Musk in her victory speech after winning a seat on the Wisconsin Supreme Court, basking in successfully beating her Republican opponent Brad Schimel and ensuring that the nonpartisan court’s narrow 4-3 liberal majority remains intact despite Musk's efforts to sway the race.

Musk fueled the high-stakes race, having poured more than $20 million into supporting Schimel, according to state campaign records. That includes $3 million to the state Republican Party—$2 million of which was donated just last week. Due to state election laws, large contributions must be funneled through political parties before reaching candidates.

People Describe The Worst 'Bonus' They've Ever Gotten At Work

Most of us have worked at one problematic workplace, with reasons ranging from toxic coworkers to terrible bosses to unlivable pay. Sometimes, it feels like a joke that the employees are even being paid at all!

But the biggest joke of all might be the end-of-year bonus, or lack thereof. They're at times so laughable, they take the cake for horrible work conditions, or are quite literally, a slice of cake.
