What is the most memorable backhanded compliment you have ever received?

You look good for someone your age. 😂

"I like you better than the two prettier interns. They always use their looks to wangle special treatment."
Up until then I had ranked myself second out of the three in prettiness.

I had a boss tell me I looked like a benign Charles Manson. I glared at her and said I didn't appreciate the "benign" part of that.

My university tutor thought my essay was so good that he refused to believe I'd written it.

"You are looking in great shape for mom of a teenager.No one will believe that you've begotten a child."
-years ago by my classmate from college.

Congratulations on being inducted into the Hall of Fame. Are there any good athletes in there?

You'd be a good wife for your wife. That was from a long ago gf.

I cook, clean, keep stuff functioning etc.

“You annoy me slightly less than everyone else”…

I pick the ugly guys as they are less likely to stray.
Overheard, not even a compliment really, still with her.
I've probably got more if I think for long enough about it.
