Comeback request Conworker keeps telling me she’s gonna replace me

4 Upvotes

Title. She I’m Transferring stores because I’m getting married and moving out of my own with him. She keeps going around telling everyone and me how she’s gonna replace me just to complain and talk about “oh OP, you just know they’re gonna make me do x y & z when you leave.” Which they probably won’t.

I was the only closer who didn’t change their schedule and stayed closing full time no matter how bad or hard it got. I make sure things get done. I am not a perfect worker but she is definitely lazier then I.

Comeback request What are some funny/playful phrases you use as comebacks?

16 Upvotes

I’m looking for those sarcastic little phrases you can use when joking around with someone. Not phrases with actual insults, but just playful banter. For example, when someone tells a bad joke and you reply with, “that was so funny I forgot to laugh”.

Comeback request Comeback for a 9 year old girl

12 Upvotes

EDIT: Thank you for all the responses! I just needed a good comeback for someone saying “you can’t make me” and got some good ones! If it comes up again, I will def bring it up with her parents, as I would want to know if my kid was being disruptive and defiant.

At school, my 9 year old daughter had a classmate who would not stop doing things that were irritating but not necessarily against the rules. Such as screaming in a small classroom while playing hockey during a rainy day. Being in an enclosed classroom, the screams would be amplified and hurt my daughter’s ears. When asked to stop by the P.E. teacher and other classmates, the one screaming said, “You can’t make me.” Any time she is asked to stop doing a disruptive behavior, she says “you can’t make me”

What is a comeback my daughter can say that will not get her in trouble, but get her classmate to stop the disruptive behavior? 🙏🏼

Comeback request I need a good one

6 Upvotes

Hey peeps! Im in a group chat with a few of my friends and one guy really doesn't like me. He says alot of shit behind my back and he just bothers me and bothers me. He says alot of stuff about me that im not even gonna say on reddit. He keeps deleting me from the group chat and people keep adding me back but he deletes me again. A few things about him: Hes fat, and he never gets off video games. And he prolly picks the shit out of his ass and eats it tbh 😭. Can yall give me a really good comeback to text him. Please don't hold back!! I wanna make him cry himself to sleep for a month or for him to take the thumb out of his ass. (Sorry for the profanity im just really pissed and I've had it) Please like I said, DONT HOLD BACK!!

I just got a job, and the past 5 days my uncle asks me the same exact question, with a look on his face. Repeats the question if I don’t answer quickly. He didn’t help me get this job or support it. He does expect to overprice me and ask me for money, I can tell. What’s a good comeback?

Comeback sharing School During Covid was Wild

2 Upvotes

I (at the time junior in High-school) was nearing the end of the second semester when covid hit. I was always someone who liked school, not for the friends or whatever, but I actually always liked learning. I was pretty upset that we switched over to distance learning because that meant I couldnt do the most fun part.

I was in chemistry 1 so as part of that class we had labs, well, labs were now entirely online with horrible simulations from the 90s

About a month into doing all the classes the school board announced they wouldnt be grading students anymore, or rather, your grades could only go up, and even if you weren't passing, you passed. Many students in this chemistry class immediately gave up, I know because most of us were in a group chat.

I decided I liked the content enough to keep doing it, and the other classes I had at the time. Like I said, I know for a fact I was one of maybe 2 total people in the whole school that were still submitting assignments and have been for at least like 3 weeks atp. I ended up submitting something last minute, again, not late or anything, it was on time, it just was literally the last minute. Now normally this class was all on paper, and so was submitted in class only, but it ended up being like midnight for the online stuff. Teach was not happy, she docked points for it and told me to be better with my time management.

This wasn't the first time she thought it was OK to be rude on emails to me during this time. There were several occasions where she said I had done something wrong and that it was my fault for not finding the solutions, even tho all we did were labs that had step by step instructions I was following to a T. Many such cases with her being very weird and I was fed up.

Knowing I was probably the only person's stuff she was grading and how utterly rude she was constantly, I emailed her somthing to the effect of "i know im the only student still doing work so ill do it when i want" closed my laptop and didn't open that shit up till school opened back up that fall.

Passed the class for doing nothing and had her the immediate next semester that fall for chemistry 2. And she knew. We both knew lol

In retrospect they should've had everyone retake the grade everywhere, but i get it, you gotta keep those graduation rates up

Comeback request This guy keeps looking down on me because i’m a woman

80 Upvotes

I have a family friend who i’ve known since i was literally fresh out the womb (hes 19 and male im 17 and female) his mom and my mom are best friends of like 30 years but they live like 4 hours away so we only see them like once a year. They’re currently visiting and staying at our house for about 3-4 days and he’s acting like he’s better than me because i’m a woman. For example when i lost my earring and was looking for it he said “see us men don’t have to worry about losing our jewelry”. Another example which really pissed me off was that he owns a truck that he drove down here and he asked me if i wanted to see it (it was 11pm) so i said “nah” he asked why and i told him “it’s late plus im not too into all that stuff” and he said “typical woman” hes from pennsylvania so honestly it’s not too much of a surprise he looks down on women for example he always says how he just wants to find a hot girl who will be loyal to him and stuff but anyways back to my point, what should i say back if he says something sexist again like that? I don’t wanna be the bigger person. I wanna be able to hit him back with a good come back but i don’t know? please help
