What are some compliments that are actually insults?

My personal favourites, I use them often are "Oh wow, you actually look amazing today" or "You look so pretty today, is it your birthday or something?" or "those clothes make you look so slim"

I always get away with it too they're always like thank you!! and hit me back with something super sweet lol. Anyone got anymore?
Lol I got insulted and I didn’t even know.

You're so *compliment* for a *something you can't help*
Problem is working in tech the average age is always about 23 because of all the new grads who come in. The grads have eternal youth, they always stay the same age but the rest of us get older lol!

You'll notice in the work place as you get older, the word "experience" is code for "older". E.g. "Ask jestersnow, he's so much more experienced than the rest of us" Or "I didn't think a man of your experience would like this song".

You're really photogenic!

Translation: You look good in photos, but you look like a horse's arse in person.

Reminds me of an incident involving my friend who posted a pic of herself on FB. One of her friends commented on it. It went like this:

My friend posts pic of herself and her bf

Her Friend: OMG chick u look amazing!! Have you lost weight?

My Friend: Er no. This picture was actually taken 2 years ago.


It was so so awkward.

personally people calling me slim is the worst and most people comment on it either as a compliment or as if it's my fault
