In a thrift store once, I was holding my son, the 3 year old terror(who was only about 1 and a half at this point), while my wife tried something on. This lady came up and was talking to him, and asked if when he grew up he would become "a tall drink of water like his dad."
Now, the compliment was nice, if odd, but the best part was the guffah that came from the dressing room that my wife was in. She did what I was too polite to. Now, my wife will use it to tease me, but from her, I actually hear her love.

I give compliments all the time, mostly just little boosts to help people, I don't have any fabulous ones.

I was having a grand ol' time playing with my friend's kids.
Instead of asking, "Chris, how old are you?" my friend said, perfectly deadpan, "Chris, I think what I detest most about you is that you lack any sort of child-like enthusiasm."
We both busted out laughing!

The best compliment I've ever given:

I was working register one day and checking the items of a woman in her early 40's. I always use sirs and ma'ams while wage slaving. So when I finished her order and handed her change and reciept I said, "Thank you ma'am, have a nice day."

She replied, "Don't ma'am me." And grabbed the change and reciept.

I snatched it back out of her hand and said, "Well let's try that again. You have your self a great day smart, sophisticated and sexy lady!"

She gave me a hug and smiled the whole way to her car.

Best compliment: my wife told me that I was cute.

Most recent compliment given: A co-worker dyed her hair dark, and I told her it looked nice.

Best I ever gave was to my girlfriend. I can't remember exactly what I said (Michelle can) but it was along the lines of:

My heart just skipped a beat and I wonder at the merrits of a god that would have me be this far apart from you" Something like that....

Best I ever received was when I was at college studying english. We were set a task of writing a poem for the next days lesson. Our english class was comprised of twenty four individuals. Twenty girls and four boys. (good odds I know :P)

I wrote a poem about a girl I had a crush on (yeah I know!) but it was heartfelt and honest. Anyway it was read out in the class, much to my embarrasement, but a very strange thing happened. All the girls just gathered around me and gave me cuddles. Some were even close to tears and one in particular commented:

"Oh my god! I never knew a guy could write such beautiful words."

Needless to say the three other guys in the class seethed with rage and jealousy.

It was a good day.

TheSomnambulist, your girlfriend is a very lucky girl indeed! After several millennia, some men just don't understand that women love to hear florid prose. Your college poetry class story proves that. You want to get the girl, write her a poem! It doesn't have to rhyme, and it can be short as long as its beautiful and honest (see: haiku, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Haiku).

The best compliment I've ever received is getting asked for ID. Apparently no-one thinks I'm over 18

The very best compliment I have recieved to date was: "You're a strong personality with strong opinions and it's natural you would be frustrated when you aren't understood. There's nothing wrong with that. I love that you say what you mean." It might seem odd that I would pick this one (especially if you knew how many sweet things this guy has said to me) but it really touched me in a special way for several reasons. As he said, I like to be understood, and that he knew exactly what I was frustrated about was a breath of fresh air, since so rarely do people look past the frustration itself. Also the fact that he doesn't just tolerate the fact that I can be very outspoken and intractable, but actually appreciates and loves it, was really an indescribable feeling.

The last compliment I gave was, I think "You are adorable, and I adore the hell out of you!"

I don't think that being cautiously ashamed, or selectively ashamed, or in any way ashamed of who I am is any way to live my life.

I run a little Firefly writing group, we just passed our third year anniversary. A couple years ago, we received a compliment on our writing, and it was so nice, I saved it, verbatim.

" I like how you guys have been able to re-create the joss feel without recreating the characters verbatim, And you've done it. It's not a ship vs the universe or a every-character-is-river vs the alliance, It's the CREW vs everything that threatens the crew"

This was one of the nicest compliments we've ever received.

The other was from one of our own writers, who, before he joined us, had everything we'd written printed out, and read it, and was a fan first. He said getting the chance to join us and actually write with us, was like having Joss pick him out of a crowd, and invite him to don a browncoat and join the crew. That was a really fun compliment.

As to giving them, I try to be generous with them, and I really don't keep track of them.
