The following are examples of "To Fish for a Compliment":
Her: Oh, I'm so tired of baking. These
cinnamon rolls took me all day to make.
Him: And they sure do taste wonderful!
Her: I guess I
fished for that compliment.
One girl to her friend: I was so lucky to get this sweater on sale last Thursday.
The friend: It looks great on you!
Husband: Man, I'm tired of
changing tires on all our cars.
Wife: Thank you so much for doing it. I really appreciate it.
