You responded well to the compliment.
Things are so bad out there, you don’t dare say anything, but you came onto the bus and were obviously a happy person (and good-looking).
You truly were the only sunshine on this day when everyone seemed to have even more attitude than usual.
You said it was the weather, but I argued and asked what was people’s problem the rest of the time, then?
You smiled and agreed, and just kept beaming.
You beautiful thing – you are what life is really all about.
Well, don’t ever change, honey.
I hope I’ll see you again – I never ride the buses – maybe twice a month tops.
Thank you, thank you.
Those really were cool shoes – I never say anything like that.
But you’d wear anything and make it look good, because you just shine.

Her Two Cents from the Missed Connections Chief Bottle-Finder:
Accepting a compliment can be difficult, and even more so when the words come from an absolute stranger. But our poet saw a grey sky turn blue when their words were responded to with a smile. Is it really that simple to make a difference? Saying a kind word and receiving one in return? Maybe… Speaking of compliments, I stumbled across this video while searching for the song that was originally scheduled as the soundtrack. I have no idea who this person is, but I like their song! Perhaps my words will make them smile too.
