So, I'm sitting in front of my computer, talking to a friend. We get into a little debate about emotes, and the people that use them. Our Stances' on emotes are:

My Stance: I hate them, and hardly ever use them.
His Stance: He uses them, not often, but he likes them, and doesn't care if people use them.

This debate went on for about an hour. Of course, like most of our arguments, it never was actually resolved. Instead, he goes on to ask me an odd question. The question was, "tell me everything that pisses you off."

I had to make a list:

1) Emotes
2) Different colored text on forums and IM's.
3) People that have too many morals.
4) People that call themselves gamers and only play Guitar Hero.
5) People that go to Starbucks on a daily basis.
6) Emos
7) People that type with caps lock on
8) Horrible fucking grammar.
9) Pro-lifers with horrible logic.
10) America past the year 1999.

As you can see, most of my annoyances happen to deal directly with people. I'm annoyed by people... Greatly.

He stopped me at 10, and as usual, called me a bastard. (Which is a great complement in my opinion.)

He went on to state that I hold my opinion of people way to damn highly. That I need to calm down, and that I need to relax and all that. To which I replied that he was starting to sound like one of those idiots that I hate so much. To which he stated that I reminded him of Dr. House.

That was a great complement. However, I had been told that before. (On my acceptance of my "graduation" farce award: The Arrogant Bastard award.) Then he said that I was a much younger spitting image of Walter, Jeff Dunham's puppet.

I laughed, and told him that that had to be one of the greatest complements that I've ever been told.

He called me an asshole, and logged off.

So, what is the greatest complement you have ever been told? Any backstory on it? Did you embrace the complement with open arms? Or was it a complement that you had to think about to fully understand?
 
Oh Gawrsh, At the moment, this one comes to mind:
I think the best compliment I got was when my mate randomly came up to me after having some problems I helped him get through that I won't delve into cause it's personal, and he told me that I was the best friend he had and that he trusts me on the same level that he trusts his parents (which is a lot) and it made me feel all nice, lol. 8F

PS: I feel obliged to post here now :wacky: Blame my cousin, he thought it'd be funny to do it whilst I was on my potty break -__-

Wow ... off the top of my head ...

It was (how sad is this?) when I guy said I look just like Alyson Hannigan!!! I love her, so it kinda made my day lol :D

Ive been told the whole beautiful eyes and body crap, but that doesnt strike me as wow cause the guy has to say it if were dating. But the guy just told me "Wow! You are the double of Alyson Hannigan!! CUTE, shes so hot!!" Thanks mate :D
 
When work told me that they wished they had a thousand of me's because apparently I'm an excellent worker. XD

I was like, 'Awe'. I felt really good and was thankful that my efforts didn't go unrecognised.

Also when Steve said that I looked like Kate Beckinsale when I had my hair in a particular way one day. >_< She's very pretty and I was like, 'Awe'.

He then said a few months after that I looked like 'Keira Knightly' and I was thinking, 'No I don't' but I'll take the compliment. XD

I was never a pretty girl in high school and I think I started to come out of my shell a bit and start to make myself more presentable since leaving school. So I'm glad my efforts have shown. XD
 
Well I don't invest much time into noting compliments, I mean I've been given quite a few.. but the thing that stood with me is only a person who knew me for a short time, as well as my good friend has told people that I was a "stand up" guy.

It basically means I can pay someone back, or be trusted with information and such and not the usual liar or rumor spreader.
