Just last week, someone left a note for me saying I’m a “goddess among mortals” for making a carrot cake without raisins.
I’m an overweight 40-year-old man with a beard. She hadn’t seen who made the cake, so she was just making a guess that the baker was a woman, but still. Funny experience.
Embrace the joy, Goddess.
I’m 38, male, chubby, can’t grow a beard for shit.
Raisins are wank. You’re “a goddess among mortals”.
Oh shit, you are a goddess among mortals! Carrot cake is one of my all time favorites so I keep trying it despite being disappointed every time that someone put raisins in it. It’s just mean.
She’s right. Cooked raisins are an abomination. You’re a hero.
raisins are an abomination
“You eat rice like Chinese person”
From the lady behind the counter as I was watching some bullshit on my phone and eating mapo tofu
I’m not even sure what that could mean. Maybe using chopsticks instead of a fork? I’ve always just eaten food with whatever utensil is typically used for that type of cuisine. I think most people, Chinese or otherwise, eat Chinese food with chopsticks, don’t they?
I think it was that I had picked up the takeout container close to my face and was using the chopsticks to shovel rice into my maw as I watched some video.
Based on the post context it probably came across either as a backhanded or possibly with a racist sounding context. Like a woman being told she can use a wrench like a man comes across as sexist.
A ton of people in the US eat nearly every type of food with a fork, spoon, or knife. I have to go out of my way to ask for chopsticks most of the time, and most of the people I see eating at other tables are using forks.
I keep meaning to make sticky rice at some point. I also tend to eat rice with chopsticks at Chinese restaurants, but anywhere else the rice is too loose
That I have a nice phone number.
An ultrasound tech once told me that I have a cute spleen.
Nothing looks cute on an ultrasound. Humans are hardwired to see babies as cute, and even they don’t look cute on an ultrasound.
So they gotta have one hell of a cutie spleen
One complimented my bladder, so I guess that spleen seems mighty good about now
My female colleague told me the other day I’d make a great dad because my tattoos are all black and white and that would be great for kids because they could color them.
“You like like a modern interpretation of some Greek god of spice” I had a spig of rosemary tucked behind my ear and a shirt that reads “why so salty”
As I was sitting at my desk with some tea and a stroopwaffel, one of my coworkers commented that I “really knew how to live.”
Several nurses have commented on my veins. Like to the point where I felt like I was getting hit on.
they just do that sometimes, it’s normal
source: dad was a nurseI had a teacher once that got turned on by veins. I found out after graduating because I met her at a bar and she was horny as hell from seeing my forearms. I use to climb a lot so veiny arms are part of the deal. So, a compliment about my veiny forearms was… special.
From my ENT: You’ve got a very well maintained nose.
Uhm, thanks?
“Whoever did your circumcision did a really good job.” :/
I need more context 😭
Yeah. Let’s see the model cock, sir
Nurses tend to like the veins in my left arm so I’ve had a few comments on that.
Oh I get this one. It’s usually along the lines of “the blood bank would love to have you” or even “I could find your veins blindfolded”
Yeah I got “wow, I could hit that by throwing a dart from across the room!” I am a favorite of phlebotomists, and I guess could be a successful junkie.
Got laid once because of my veiny arms so, not only nurses like them.
“You have the most beautiful intestines!” And several other similar things as I was checked for cancer.
It’s like the saying goes: true beauty is on the inside.
I don’t know how weird it is but I’ve been told a few times that I have a “calming presence”. It’s a very nice compliment, just don’t understand why or how.
This is sometimes what happens when someone grows up around someone who is volatile or unpredictable.
Natural adaptation.
Could that be why?
Oh. Well that tracks, yeah.
Baseball, huh?
Compared to pretty much every other response, this is real bland, but I recently had a librarian at the community college I attend tell me something like how my name is a nice name.
It’s not a special name in any way, just a run-of-the-mill Biblical name tons of people have. For obvious reasons, I won’t tell what it is, but this is the first time I’ve ever gotten a compliment about my name.
Ok Ezekiel.
I wish I had a name like that. Instead I have one of the more common and much more generic names.
Irish people ask me what part of Ireland I’m from. I must do an amazing Irish accent despite being Scottish and have never visited there. I blame the fact that central Edinburgh doesn’t have a strong Scottish accent and lots of Londoners/Americans study here.
