The key to a good Back-Handed Compliment is to have a big clueless smile on your face:
The bigger the smile, the more they don’t realize how rude they’re being.
Not that I have this problem… at all. Really.
This is my favorite Back-Handed Compliment. A smile usually doesn’t even accompany this one. Just the blank-faced statement followed by the most deafening silence ever.
Awwww. Funny though. How about someone telling you: I wish I was single like you….
Other good ones:
“I like your shoes. They look really comfortable.”
“That’s a great shirt. I saw someone else wearing it over there.”
“You blink a lot.”
The clueless people are the best ones to respond to!
“Ooh your eyebrows do the same for you.”
(blank stare)
Awwwwww…let me wrap you up with a virtual hug!
i liked this post. almost as much as your other ones.
Rather loved this post… my personal favourites/ the ones that make me wince the most are insults like:
[girl, handing a friend a miniscule of trousers.]
“These’ll probably be too big on you, though. They’re immense on me.”
Veiled insult and shame at the pants being too small, all in one blow. Cruel.
must confess, it’s my first time reading your blog, and I must say, that I do rather enjoy it.

Peace!
