| "Wel that's nice" or "lucky me" but Said sincerely and without snark. |

| You say, "Nothing bad, I hope!" and then the person tells you the (hopefully) not-bad thing they were saying about you. |

| If it's not in a professional setting I usually joke and say "Don't believe a word of it!" Usually they'll respond with the gist of what they were saying. If it's a more formal setting, I just smile pleasantly. |

They would tell you they were talking about you if it was bad things. Usually it's good things . |
