Compliment
« on: December 07, 2015, 11:04:04 AM »
Not sure if this is an actual reaction to being bald, but in the supermarket around an hour ago, a totally random stranger came up to me and said 'wow I sure wish my head was like that'. Surprised, I said 'thanks', and he said 'no problem papi' (which kind of took the shine off things) and he walked away

Hey, enjoy them when you get them.

The compliments from people you don't know sometimes are the best because you know they did not feel some sort of obligation to say anything nice.

Nothing wrong with being the kind of "papi" who inspires random compliments from strangers!

I guess the papi/daddy thing just caught me off guard :) but it was good to get a compliment. I had only just shaved my head around 30 minutes earlier, so it was as smooth as smooth can be.

Gotta love the compliments from random strangers! 

BTW, what type of glasses are you wearing in your profile pic?

I get the "papi" thing a lot where I work. It's just a term of endearment. And, being in Hawaii, I also sometimes hear locals address me as uncle.
