A WOMAN has horrified onlookers by accepting a compliment without hesitation, deflection, or cringing humility.
Francesca Johnson told friend Joanna Kramer how good she was looking and was left dumbfounded when Kramer thanked her for it almost as if she was in agreement.
Johnson said: “I complimented her hair, expecting her to say she doesn’t wash it enough, that she needs her roots doing, and that she hates it and it’s a mess. Normal stuff.
“Instead she said ‘Thanks.’ That was it. Just ‘thanks’, as if she deserved it. So, stunned, I said that I really liked her top. Surely she’d say it didn’t fit, she’d had it for years or that it was from a bin in a charity shop? Even just some drivel about it having pockets?
“But no. Exact same thing again: a completely comfortable acceptance of the compliment. I mean the ego on this vain cow.
“She remarked on how clear my skin looked and I did the polite thing, telling her it’s actually hideous, and it’s no wonder given how badly I take care of it like the sloppy sloven slut I am. Bizarrely, she seemed almost confused.
“At least it was only in front of a woman. What if she’d blatantly had such high regard for herself that she accepted a compliment from a man? I can’t imagine how offended he’d be.”
