So, I complimented a stranger on her kicks

[aaxoxo75]

hahaha that was a good one mavjen, I hate when people dont take compliments in a nice way and I even wonder that sometimes is just better when you are not that nice to compliment them on something, hate people like that.

LOL!!! I love that you reverted back to adolescence on that one MAV. She didn't deserve your appreciation, that wench!

Also, this reminds me of my cousin's wife, who believes she's God's gift. I remember my mom and I were talking about how beautiful her daughters are (they seriously are), and my mom said something along the lines of, "and it makes sense because you're so pretty too", to which she replied, "Oh, I know"....no thank you, no obligatory "aww shucks" kind of reaction...just "I know".

We now refer to that comment a lot, lol. Like if we compliment each other in any way, we respond dramatically with "OH, I KNOOOOWWW!". Its fun, haha.

LOL! I love that you "PSYCHED" her!

I'm glad you liked the anecdote, guys.

Bimbi, I am dying at your cousin's wife's statement. It's like a million things are racing in your brain as you simply process the priceless and abject haughtiness of the person you just complimented. You think, "Is she for real? Oh no, she didn't."

That's exactly what was going through my mind! My mom shot a quick glance at me right after she said it, so it was clear that's what was going through her mind too.

This same lady posts stupid shit on facebook about herself all the time. She's done some modeling (gag me), and apparently there's a billboard in San Juan with her perfect, perky ass on it, and she took a pic of it on her phone and posted it on facebook all, "Oh my! There's my butt! On a billboard!! Tee hee hee!".

LOL! You are my hero.

[smallysmallz04]

Hysterical! What a whore! I probably would have looked at her like " oh no she didnt"

Love your response, MavJen! I'm impressed at your fast thinking. I would have just stood there, jaw dropped.

Bimbi, I would have been tempted to follow up your cousin's wife's statement with something about her modesty and hoping that the girls don't also inherit that.

That would have been amazing!!

Mav, you and Bimbi just made my day! Thanks for the laugh!

Ditto.

[joanis018]

hahaha that's amazing. I can't believe you actually said "psych". You're my new hero.

[315bride]

If its the sneaks I'm thinking of, they are totally fug.

Here's what I have to say about that tourist: what.a.cunt.

[315bride]

No, just no. I know exactly. I find those THINGS to be an assault on aesthetics. It desecrates the 80's style of high tops and everything they stand for.

[FormerCityGirl]

I could just see this conversation in the airport with Mav complimenting the shoes and Amy using that as her reply to the girl. People who can't take a proper compliment are one of my pet peeves. It seems like if you respond graciously to a compliment people are just as floored as they would if people responded like an ass to a compliment.

Amy, I wish you were with me to tell her EXACTLY. WHAT. YOU. JUST. SAID.

Psshaw, I'd be there. All my guy friends are crying over those atrocities and how they are a middle-finger at the true kicks style that's making a minor comeback now.

[dominique12i9]

LOL! "PSYCH!" can turn any situation around. What a bitch...sounds like Regina George from Mean Girls.

[cole]

Wench, twat, whore, hag, cunt and bitch. Over "I know."

Yikes.

[hz80408]

Ha, oh Mav! That is awesome!

Awesome!!

What a bitch. I had someone compliment my shoes as I was putting them in a bin and it made my freakin' week!

[misshark122]

OMG that girl is a total B!
