I Want Read Your Back Handed Compliments

For Those Who Don'T Know... A back handed compliment is a insult looking like a compliment.

Examples are -


- You’re so lucky you don’t have to worry about men/women only liking you for your looks

Translation: Your face scares small children

- You’re such a strong person

Translation: The way your life has turned out would have driven most people to suicide

- You’re lucky you’re so creative – I can’t even draw a stick man

Translation: You’re lucky you’re creative because you have the IQ of a tube of toothpaste

- I wish I were as confident as you

Translation: It must take a lot of confidence for you to wear that skirt with those legs

- Is that your other half? Wow, he/she is gorgeous!

Translation: I’m surprised your significant other is neither ugly nor blind, as you have a face only a mother could love

What are the back handed ones that you were given or have gave???

For me personally my ex-wife would say things like -

"Glad that you took care of the laundry but you didn't fold it like I do..."

Or

"Oh I love the necklace you gave me for Christmas.......             Would you be disappointed if we returned it?"

Those are just a few...

What are yours?

Both replies your ex gave you are really due to being bad mannered...you never return or change a present and you always thank people for their help, unless, of course, your parents didnt raise you the right way.
