          "When are you due?" Not a compliment and thankfully hasn't happened
          for a couple years since my working out.

            OMG, that's the worst!! I'm super-skinny, but someone asked me that question one day at work (after I'd has a huuuuuuuge lunch), and I knew that she was just being mean, so...

            I got her fired.

              "You are really good at ___________!"

              (Fill in the blank with any undesirable task that everyone claims not to be good at so they won't have to do it)

                "You're not fat, you look healthy".
                In other words, you're fat.
                Now run along and play, but don’t get into trouble.

                  That dress... or outfit... really makes you look slim.

                  You look good for your age.

                      The main thing is that you are still working with computers.

                      (most likey to be said after moving some sort of computer like device from point A to point B)

                          My MIL insists that I look 17. I'm 28. I know I look young for my age- probably about 23 or so. I've looked 23 for the last 8 years. But really- 17? Come on, now. After seeing the way 17 year olds around here act and dress, that is NOT a compliment in any way. I'm an adult. At least give me that acknowledgement. I've earned it, dammit!

                          Can't think of anything creative this time

                              Similar to Menehune Man's post--had a boss who would compliment the entire staff (I worked in a smallish dental office), then say "BUT...". We got so we'd interrupt him with a chorus of "BUT" when he started in!

                              My favorite, though, was at age 13, from a so-called "well-meaning" nurse in a doctor's office (who, in reality, was a mean witch)--"You'd be SO pretty if you'd just lose some weight". I was a little overweight then, but not much, at all, and certainly not obese...and so what if I was, if I was healthy?! As for being pretty--who could feel pretty after a "compliment" like that?!

                              I felt like telling her I could diet, but she was ugly as sin and could do nothing about it...but my mama raised me to be polite.
