QotD: Flattery Will Get You Everywhere

What's the best compliment you've received lately?

 

My denist said, "It's so nice to have such a calm patient." Well, after having a kidney stone, I'm sort of inured to minor pains.

And once when I picked up my car after getting the brakes replaced, my mechanic said, "You're a very good driver." "Now how can you possibly know that?" I asked. "Did you check my glove box for traffic tickets?" He laughed. "No, you've got almost 70,000 miles on it, and your clutch is pristine!"  "See! I keep telling people I'm a great driver, but no one believes me!" It's nice to hear one of my few skills verified by an outside, unbaised party.
