Just once I'd like to hear one my girlfriend's friends say something like that.
I'm smurfing awesome, for chrissakes.

I remember I used to dish out empty compliments by the bucket load when I had a job in door to door sales. I signed up a lady to 3 contracts through her landline, her internet connection and her cable because I buttered her up by saying her car (boring little 2-door Mitsubishi) was awesome. She had apparently just bought it and no one else in her family appreciated it. I was saving her a good bit of money on the landline and internet compared to what she already had, but I felt pretty rotten about conning her into cable too. I quit the job a few days later. -_-

So now I'm a little too over-analytical about compliments when they're given to me, but generally, I'll say thank you and send one back.
