If you’re the type of person who compliments strangers, please do so cautiously. Weirdly, the things people say can be misconstrued as rude or even a little racist.
We know you meant well but relax.
Someone on Reddit wanted to know “what’s the weirdest compliment you’ve ever received?” The answers were awkward.
Here are the most interesting and cringeworthy replies to the question “what’s the weirdest compliment you’ve ever received?”:
1. Look at the big brains on Brett.
“I was admiringly told by a female anthropology professor in class that I have a ‘very robust cranium.'” –PolackTony
2. Which Muppet are you?
“You remind me of Kermit the frog. Not in looks, in vibes.” –
3. Wow.
“I had a girl tell me she’d like it if I got hit by a car so she could cradle my head and stroke my hair as I died.” –wishsleepwasoptional
4. Sweet compliment.

8. Call a priest!
“I once had an old Hispanic lady that didn’t speak English who I didn’t know have someone she was with come over to me at a restaurant and ask if she could bless my eyes for me. She said she wanted to bless them so nothing would ever happen to them because she’d never seen anything like them.” –_tarnationist_
9. Beautiful.
“An older woman said I had nice skin (I’m a dude if it matters.) It came across as a “I’d like to wear it,” but then later that evening I realized the party I was invited to was actually a sales pitch to join some pyramid scam to sell skin products. So it was less weird in retrospect, but clearly something had gone wrong.” –Boyhowdy107

A group of maybe 10 people complimented me on my calves, it was very weird.” –CdnRageBear
