Misplaced complements

[riontel]

Got an unusual and unexpected complement today while doing laundry, of all places. A neighbor came up to me to complement me on my patience. That's exactly what she said, I've been watching you and you are such a patient person. She's been watching me fold my laundry. I didn't laugh in her face, nor did I try to explain the difference between "patient" and "anal retentive".

Was it a universe with Rimma-shaped void in it?

Have you thanked her in her face?

Hehe, it's like my downstairs neighbor telling me "you're such a nice girl" because I don't stomp around in my apartment. I didn't want to disillusion her by explaining my obsession with my floors.
