13. Was she also a wasp?
A random woman outside a café beside a train station, as I get chased by a wasp:

“You smell very sweet and spicy, that’s why he’s chasing you. Its very nice!”

Thank you random lady, 2 years later and I’ll never forget.

15. No butter, though? Not that big a compliment.
One time I was busking and a guy put 2 corn cobs in my ukulele case and said, “Good job dude. You deserve these”

I was so bewildered I stopped singing. Thanks corn man 😌

17. He meant they looked like an angry bird.
I was wearing my tie dye outfit, and this guy dressed in steampunk regalia yelled to me, “I love your outfit! You look like a video game!” My fave compliment ever!

18. “And that’s why I broke his arm with my wing.”
That I have a very swan-like voice. She didn’t actually know what swans sound like. She was complimenting me on how I said “your coffee will be ready over there” when we were both working at a coffee shop.

19. Another Kermit fan.
“Your eyes protrude nicely from your head.” … thanks?

Finally, if this doesn’t put you off hospitals, nothing will.

During an ultrasound, the technician told me that I had the most beautiful liver she’d ever seen.
