Im not sure this counts but I recently met a wonderful (older) gentleman & his lovely wife who were friends of a friend. I knew who they were but had never met them, so I went up to them & introduced myself. We ended up having just this amazing conversation that lasted a good while. Just a kind, fascinating couple. This was last week. So yesterday I saw them again & walked up saying ‘Hello’ with my hand out to shake their hand. He pushed my hand aside saying ‘Oh, enough of that!’ with each giving me a big bear hug. It’s making me all warm & fuzzy even just writing this now!

Of course it counts! You made quite an impression on them. No handshakes - you're way past an acquaintance, you are in their circle of friendship now. Such a joy when that happens

On my birthday on my way to the store, i ran into some kids from my school. They didn't know it was my birthday at all by the way. They said I looked pretty, and complimented me. So yeah, it made my day

I was complimented when I was on the bus one day for being the only person to be reading a book rather than a phone :)

Someone complemented my sweatshirt (it's a Nine Line hoodie with a distressed American flag on the back) at the grocery store. First time someone I didn't know randomly complemented me.

Hey there, Pandas! My name is Diana (though some prefer to refer to me as Diane, Deanna, and even Liana sometimes), and I am a Community Post Moderator Lead for Bored Panda. As my position title states, I am one of the people (employed Pandas for bamboo) over here who work with the community side of things on this website to ensure all is well, and while at that, I also help various creators and artists get recognition for the incredible work they do by connecting them to a large worldwide audience. Other than that, outside of work, you can find me brewing a nice cup of coffee, making a pizza from scratch, or baking brownies. I also love traveling, concerts, and cats (heavy on that, because I am a cat mom).
