back-handed compliments

I usually have to laugh when I'm the recipient of a back-handled compliment, because in my experience nine times out of ten an insult is the LAST thing on the complimenter's mind.

Today I got a doozy and can't help but share. I just got my hair done last week and one of my sales people came in and said to me:

"I just love your hair. It looks just like a wig I have at home."

The name of this wig-which is VERY similar to my own style and color:
DARK BROWN FANCY PARTY WIG
No joke.

She went on to explain she wears a wig similar to my color and style when she wants to feel prettier, but the damage had already been done. Our Corporate Chef was red with laughter-and I was second-guessing my style choice.
