Reddit user Majomember420 asked: 'What was the most bizarre "compliment" you got?'

This is about the compliments that leave you scratching your head, like the time a male friend told me I had "little, tiny, stripper feet." I was unaware strippers are known for their little feet—or that my friend might have more than a passing interest in feet.

Reddit user Majomember420 asked:
