Have You Ever....

...fished for a compliment and been taken aback by what you got?
A couple of threads on here brought this to mind.
Once, during many years of illness OH was given six days respite from hospital and home treatment. JOY! We decided to set of for France to join friends in their rented cottage.
I did the driving. A long motorway journey. Confusion and hold ups at the tunnel. Desperate hunts for loos (OHs illness not my bladder). Detours and thunderstorms in France. Torrential rain and such a long search for the village so remote I renamed it Brigadoon. But we made it!
Exhausted I turned to OH and said "What a journey. What d`you think?"
Well driven would have done.
He looked at me and said........."I think you should pluck that hair on your chin before it gets any longer".

I once asked my other half if my bum looked big in my very expensive and fancy new jeans, he said yes :(
At least he was honest I suppose. lol

The jeans were never worn by me again, I gave them to my daughter.

[tonyav]

At least he didn't say about time you had a shave.

[gness]

Tell you Tony. He didn`t lol for quite a while.

[tonyav]

Gawd, I wish you hadn't have bought tha up on a gness thread daffy.

[gness]

I would have said something but laughing so much at bums appearing every time Tony does I choked on my wine! :-))

[tenrec]

Priceless!

[BAKERS DOZEN]

Once asked Mr BD if he would like to see me in something floaty and see-through. His reply was "Just the once!"

[tonyav]

LOL @ bd.

I used to go out with a guy who always told me I looked bonny, which I thought meant pretty. Apparently where he came from it meant pretty, but fat!!

[tonyav]

[tonyav]

When my boy was 11 we went jeans shopping for him (mosher phase). The gent at the till in our local 'stolen from Ivor' (remember them?) shop said,"kids are always much calmer when they shop with their grandma".....
Hmmmm.

I left the engineering works where i started my working life after 8 yrs, there were no probs getting jobs in 1968 and i was soon in collar on good wages; the following Thursday the owner came round with the wages and said, you have earned your money this week lad , my head started to grow, earn a bit for us next week, my tools went home with me that night.

I dont think I have ever fished for a compliment! I know my good points and my bad, I dont need anybody to confirm them!

[gness]

Keep it up Crafty.

[gness]

BD and Mosaic. Couldn`t you just slap them with a wet fish!

Years ago someone I fancied said I had an hour glass figure, then just as I was smiling delightedly, he added 'all the sand at the bottom!'
Never fancied him again!
