People Divulge The Worst Compliment They've Ever Gotten

Gee.... thanks... I guess....

Make us preferred on Google

Listen before you speak. Really think about what you want to articulate. Sometimes what sounds like a good idea in our minds.... is most definitely not. Praising a person is about telling them something comforting; comfort doesn't arrive with a backend smack. Just an FYI!

Redditor u/houstonproblem1 wanted to hear how some of us have been told how great we are in ways that left us empty by asking.... What's the worst compliment you've ever got?

HUGE!!

My mom's friend told me this. "Yours is the only huge nose that probably does not need plastic surgery." I still don't know how to feel about this. dosababy

That hurt me. 

One of my seniors once told me that I reminded him of his younger self. The problem is he is like the worst guy in my office. That hurt me. Reddit

Or maybe he's making a depressing self aware look at himself? In you he sees his better years? glugunner77

Robust! 

I look robust. LulaBruce

You're thicker than a bowl of oatmeal. hanbanan07

Yer sturdy, you look like you could take a punch! termolecularxn

The Eyes have It! 

"Your eyeballs always look so lubricated"

I have watery eyes, thank you allergies. He was a colleague who told me during our first ever conversation that he had already found me on Facebook. The 'compliment' about my eyeballs came after that.. Keeks157

"Of course Mr. Jordan."

Giphy

Michael Jordan said to me "Thanks, at least you're good for something."

He was a guest at our golf course on a very rainy day. If not for his scheduled visit, the course would've been shut down for the day. It was an absolute ghost town.

His group started without him. When he arrived they loaded his bag onto the cart to meet up with his group. I was standing about 50 feet away minding my own business. He called me over and asked if he could have the towel I was holding. I replied "Of course Mr. Jordan." Thats when I got the unwarranted "compliment." Fthewigg

Yes to Math! 

High school math teacher told me I got the brains and my sibling (2 years older than me) got the looks. I noticed later on that most of the teachers in my high school tended to make unprofessional comments to students who they were close to. Most were seen as jokes but I remember a Spanish teacher who would flirt with any attractive boys in her class (the football and popular boys). nuruchi

Siblings....

Upon my now wife meeting my family for the first time. My mom doesn't have the best way of words, she said "You guys look like brother and sister!" We do a similar skin tone, eyes, and hair color.

My step dad shuffled her to the other room quickly. SoMediocreItsAverage

"a social doorway"

I had this buddy who didn't have a lot of friends and I'd always invite her out to hang with mine. She kept doing some pretty messed up stuff and just made excuses when we talked bout it, so I started distancing myself. Then she said she didn't wanna lose my friendship because I was "a social doorway."

I love introducing my friends to each other and it makes me so happy when they get on/become buddies independently from me. But hearing that that was all I was to her kinda bummed me out. charliebars

You Too. 

A dude was opening up a topless bar in my small town, my grandma patted my thigh and said "You'll be working there soon, won't you?" I was 15. She didn't have any mental issues, just a withered black heart. lovelesscreator

I have a mean aunt who told me only whores wore tank tops... after she took me to shopping to spend a gift card. Guess what I had just picked out? KookieBaron

Flat Earth.

Giphy

It's a toss up between "you know your butt isn't as flat as it used to be" and "you are not such a funny shape any more" courtesy of 2 different aunts.

I really never thought I had a flat butt or that I was a funny shape! No one like family to boost your self esteem. cantfindausername12

Susan Collins Dragged After GOP PAC Boosts Her Campaign In The Wrong Portland

On July 4, 1786, the city of Portland, Maine, was officially founded with its newly-minted name. Almost 60 years later in 1845, Maineiac Francis Pettygrove won a coin toss against Asa Lovejoy and named their soon-to-be incorporated city in Oregon Portland after the largest city in his home state of Maine.

Since then, Portland, Oregon, has swelled to a city of approximately 675,000 people while its namesake boasts a population of just 70,000. In 2026, when people hear Portland, they think of Oregon instead of the original city in Maine.

CNN Just Visited A Struggling MAGA Store—And It Spells Bad News For Trump

CNN correspondent Elle Reeve returned to Whitey Taylor's Trump Town USA in Boones Mill, Virginia, for the first time since visiting in 2023, and her segment shows that business for the Donald Trump-themed shop has collapsed as more MAGA followers break away from the president.

Reeve, in a segment for Anderson Cooper 360, reported that "things aren't what they used to be" for the store. She spoke with Taylor, who revealed that the store, which used to make $12,000 to $15,000 in sales per day now only makes between $1,500 - $2,000 per day. On occasion, Taylor will hit $3,000 in sales if he's lucky.

JD Vance Blasted After Sharing His Absolutely Mind-Numbing Definition Of 'Socialism'

According to Merriam-Webster, socialism broadly refers to economic and political systems centered on collective or government ownership and control of the means of production.

Not exactly a concept requiring a Ph.D. to explain. One would think Vice President JD Vance, a Yale Law School graduate whose party practically uses the word as punctuation, could manage a working definition.
