There's something special about being spoken well of to other people. What's the best compliment you've ever received secondhand? Whether you overheard it or were told about it after the fact, what lovely things did someone say about you behind your back?

Aw...there was one time I was being messed around by object of my affection, who I worked with, and I confided in a fellow workmate as to why I was feeling so miserable. I wasn't particularly close to this guy, but we found it easy to chat about life and stuff and he was really laid-back and easy-going...There was a works do a few days later, which I left early because I found it way too awkward being in the same room as the person who was fucking around with me - I was told that I after I left, my workmate, who was a bit pissed on free beer, went up to said object of my affection and berated her in public, in view of everyone at the company, and basically called her a nasty malicious head-fucker, and that she was especially nasty for messing around someone like me, who was one of the nicest people he had ever met, and that I could do so much better than a skank like her.

That made me cry.

A few months ago I learnt from an old female friend that I was apparently commonly referred to by the nickname of "hung-like-a-horse" by various of her girlfriends. Its always nice to know one's efforts have been appreciated, if only vicariously.

This morning I was remembering some time last year when hubby and I stopped at a gas station. I was walking out of the store back to the pumps, and I saw a guy watching me and another girl who had come out right behind me, and I overheard him ask his friend, "Are ALL the women in Texas beautiful?"

I was high on that one for a week.

I once overheard a conversation in which I was mistaken for Steve.

It don't get no better than that. Word.

I was told that I united a weekend conference with my fake beard and sailor outfit.
That made me happy. I'm now looking for other supportive venues in which the fake beard can be taken for another excursion.

From one of most wise sixteen year olds in the world on my sense of humour, "My sister said you were completely off your head; understatement of the decade."

I just looked at this thread to see how many guys would brag about their girls saying how big their thingy was.
Because that is something that I would do, and expect many of my Barbelith brethren to do too.
Well, anyway mine is huge...

"50 quid for your pussy" - that's what I got offered last night. Charming.

My ex-boyfriend once said that I was better than cocaine. I thought that was really sweet.
