Had any good backhanders recently? Got my hair cut yesterday at a new barber and like all new barbers he told me I had very thick hair. I’m assuming this is a good thing for me and an annoying thing for him? Never really know how to take it.
A m9 told me recently to go for larger framed Wayfarers because ‘they suit people with big faces’.
“wouldn’t have thought you could pull off those shoes but they suit you”
“wouldn’t have thought you’d drink somewhere like this but you fit in”
“wouldn’t have thought you could wear a coat like that but it looks alright”
“wouldn’t have thought you’d want to meet my workmates but you weren’t awkward”
“wouldn’t have thought you’d be interested in a hike you just about kept up”
etc
My all time great in this genre is my darling partner telling me that she had a good feeling about me after our first day because I “wasn’t at all charming”.
She has tried to revise this to mean that I was genuine, but we all know the truth.
at an 18th birthday party a drunk old woman told me I was going to be fit when I was older (I was 17 at the time). Very weird exchange but it’s stuck with me. Often wonder if she was right or wrong
