Having a go-to comeback is a handy thing, after all, there are few things as frustrating as thinking about the retort should’ve had an hour after a situation presented itself. On Reddit, users were asked to share their go-to responses to insults. Here are a few to get you started:
- “As a teacher, when a middle-school student called me a m…f….er, I replied with, ‘That’s right, son’.” (Laegmacoc)
- “When someone is insulting me without any purpose, I just say, ‘Bad day, huh?” 90% of them immediately calm down and even apologize because they seriously had a bad day and had too much bad energy without a way to let it go.” (W4RR3NOO)
- “Shouldn’t you be on a ledge somewhere?” (ShutTheMofoUp)
- “I just say a random woman’s name didn’t love them. Only twice have I correctly named the person’s mother.” (BrotherBeam)
- “Ask them to repeat themselves. And then do it again…and again.” (Global-AD404)
- “My favorite is, ‘I don’t get it,’ and make them explain it in plain words.” (Stopbanningmegdit)
- “Saying ‘God bless you’ either enrages or confuses them.” (hopenomo)
- “I just say, ‘and then?,’ and keep saying it until they run out of insults.” (snotnif)
- “If I cared, I’d insult you back…but I don’t?” (evilchilaquil)
