QotD: Complimentary
What is the greatest compliment you've received?
Submitted by Maraschino.
When I was in grad school, I acted in a few shows in the local theater company. It was a tradition at this small theater company to do a meet-and-greet with audience members after the shows. Which was fun, especially after matinees when many of the audience members were senior citizens - they were always the most appreciative audiences, and I liked talking with them.
After one production of "The Mousetrap" I was speaking with several women, and received the most memorable compliment. She told me she admired my performance, and then said something I never forgot:
"It's so nice to see a young woman who knows how to sit down in and stand up from a chair properly."
