They were actually quite nice about it until one of th asked for my plastic surgeons number because his girlfriend wanted implants. That prompted my friends to start laughing and the poor guy turned beet red. He bought me a beer as an apology

I'm usually okay with the comments, but one thing I will NEVER get used to is people coming up to me and touching my tattoos.
I hear ya. I once had a total stranger come up to me and touch my tattoo, and it felt really uncomfortable.

I was talking about its original state. When it starts getting yummy, it's already fattening!

I think for the most part its just pure rudeness. There are very few scenarios where i think its ok for a stranger to comment on physical appearance. examples would be your trying on a shirt and someone says that shirt looks very nice on you. Or someone says can you help me get that thing up there, your very tall. Most of the time its just rude.

LOL, now that's not always true!

Ever had it roasted? I can eat that stuff like popcorn. A little olive oil, seasonsings of your choice, a little parm and in a 450 degree oven, covered for 25 -35 minutes or until just tender.

I have been known to approach very tall men ( 6.6 ) that are built like linebackers, and said " Wow, I bet no-one messes with YOU in a dark alley "

I never get approached by strangers to comment on anything--can't remember the last time that happened. I also never get compliments on anything by anyone. I guess I'm extremely average.
