    Just last week, someone left a note for me saying I’m a “goddess among mortals” for making a carrot cake without raisins.

    I’m an overweight 40-year-old man with a beard. She hadn’t seen who made the cake, so she was just making a guess that the baker was a woman, but still. Funny experience.

      Who the fuck puts raisins in a carrot cake?
      I have honestly never experienced an abomination. Not that there is anything wrong with raisins, but in carrot cake?

    As I was sitting at my desk with some tea and a stroopwaffel, one of my coworkers commented that I “really knew how to live.”

    My female colleague told me the other day I’d make a great dad because my tattoos are all black and white and that would be great for kids because they could color them.

    Several nurses have commented on my veins. Like to the point where I felt like I was getting hit on.

      I had a teacher once that got turned on by veins. I found out after graduating because I met her at a bar and she was horny as hell from seeing my forearms. I use to climb a lot so veiny arms are part of the deal. So, a compliment about my veiny forearms was… special.

        My old work number used to have a 404 area code. I work in tech. It was a fun inside joke.

    I don’t know how weird it is but I’ve been told a few times that I have a “calming presence”. It’s a very nice compliment, just don’t understand why or how.

      This is sometimes what happens when someone grows up around someone who is volatile or unpredictable.

      Natural adaptation.

      Could that be why?

    Nurses tend to like the veins in my left arm so I’ve had a few comments on that.
