Random Compliment at the Airport
I'm travelling again - this time for fun instead of work (although I'm hoping to get some sellable photos out of this trip so I can write it off! :) ).
I'm standing in the security line and it happened for the first time. The officer glanced at my driver's license ... then looked again. Then held it up and looked at me. Then smiled and said "You've lost quite a bit of weight Ms. XXXXX. You look fantastic. Have a safe flight and a great day." *thud* I thanked her and smiled the entire rest of the way to the gate. I don't know why a random stranger's comment can make me feel so good, but it really made my morning. Maybe I'm in a good mood 'cause I'm about to spend 3 days with my sweetie, but this just sort of capped it all off. :D . |
Wow, that's quite the compliment! Congratulations!

But this woman - a complete stranger - obviously had to do a double take on my drivers license. So that was just cool. :) . |
:D That must have been wonderful!
But you totally deserve it. ;) |
That is so awesome PC! You have worked very hard, you deserve the recognition, and didn't it feel GREAT!?!
|
Gosh, I DESPISE the random comments when someone checks my ID. I don't know, it just makes me really uncomfortable.
If you like it, though, get used to it! It happens more and more. I can't wait to get my new license with new photo. Congrats on getting a compliment you enjoyed! |
wow Photo! I can just see how good that must have felt. Just like Nixie said, I believe those un-biased comments have a bigger impact just because the lady was just stating the truth and nothing else :)
Have fun with your sweetie. |

I've been accused of using a fake ID. THAT was fun. I actually carry my passport now (more recent photo) in case that happens again.
My bank card is the WORST. Looks NOTHING like me. |

That's so cool! I am over the moon when something like this happens.
Enjoy the time with your SO. |
That's awesome... Compliments definitely have a way of making people all fuzzy inside!!
|
Awwww :D
Have an amazing time with your honey! |
Just saw this post Photochick & girl, you DESERVE IT! You have lost an amazing amount of weight and are an amazing person with a wealth of knowledge. You have worked hard at your own journey & helped countless others on theirs. YOU ROCK!
|
That's so awesome! What a great feeling! And what a great way to go into spending time with someone you're into ;) Congrats!
|
How nice that she said it so nicely! Sometimes those things just come out ... wrong.
Congratulations. Sometimes it's just those unexpected, little things that make you smile and feel great. I know I don't need to tell you to have fun on your trip :devil: |
Just a thought for Mandalinn

Yeah, the pic on my Costco card is horrifying, and every single time I use it, the cashier takes two looks at it -- a couple of them have said "wow, you don't even look like that anymore". Yeah, THANK GOD! but yeah, it does make me slightly uncomfortable - it's like my dirty little secret - I was once 200 lb and here is the evidence.
|
TOTALLY AWESOME! 71 Lbs LOST IS SUPERIFFIC
|
I think when A stranger says something we feel more noticed~When family Or friends say it we Feel there just be comforting to us.FROM ONE STRANGER TO ANOTHER~I AM PROUD OF YOU!
|
LOL - I know! I was pending a move, and then there were all kinds of issues, and I only just NOW moved (we've been trying since FEBRUARY, and knew we'd be moving since more than a year ago), so I was waiting for the change of address. I'll be updating it soon!
Though I did try to change my picture on my bank card and they said NO. Even when I was already getting a new card reprinted. And showed them the old one! It looks NOTHING like me now, and people have accused me of stealing it. |
Girl that's awesome! Congratulations....and thanks for the info on those 0 calorie sprays :)
|
Wow! That would of topped off my day too!! complimites from a stanger would rock my world!!
|
That is so cool!
You have a great trip! :) |
Congratulations on the comment. It is nice that someone took the time to pay a compliment in a busy working environment which needless to say made you feel on cloud 9.
Keep up the hard work and I am sure more compliments will be coming your way. |
