I get a little annoyed with people who won't accept compliments. If someone says something nice about you - thank them!
I will reluctantly accept with a muttered "thanks," I can never grasp complete sincerity of a compliment especially coming from a stranger and the coordination of the environment we are in. A nasty truthful remark of criticism is worth much more to me than a thousand complimented remarks that may essentially be bullshit wrapped in an enigma. The sound of silence however, is also much more gratifying.
