We’ve all experienced thinking of the perfect response to a person, but the moment had already passed. It’s like that one Seinfeld episode when George Costanza had a clever comeback to an insult from a coworker, but it had already been hours later. However, since many conversations now occur online through comment boxes and social media, timing is no longer a key factor. You can deliver the ultimate clapback days after, and it would still sting like vinegar on an open wound. Here are just a few excellent examples. These responses were so well-crafted, you’d wish you had thought of them. It also proves that ordinary people on the internet can easily be top-notch comedy writers.

Part of it is having excellent listening skills, according to comedian and artistic director Abigail Paul. In an interview with the BBC, Paul shared an example wherein you’re dealing with a colleague who enjoys making snide remarks. In such situations, Paul advises training your brain to listen to their words, so you can eventually fire back the perfect retort. #4 Can Also Try Exploiting People Image credits: PineappleIsDeliciousOnPizzaFightMe #5 An Amateur Pilot At Best Image credits: postymcpostpost #6 Well, She Did Ask For Pictures Image credits: UserNameTayken A knee-jerk reaction to an insult would be to issue a more scathing response. At that point, your emotions are more heated, as your goal becomes more about winning the argument at all costs. However, stooping to the same level of disparagement can only turn the conversation toxic, which only makes the responding person look worse. According to business consultant Belina Raffy, who worked with a condescending manager, harsh, uncalled-for responses typically come from a palace of insecurity. “(Negative responses) increase tension, make a person feel excluded or inferior, and as though they are not in the 'in group' which is in the know,” Raffy said in the same BBC interview. #7 When Rejection Is A Win Image credits: Above_Heights #8 Yep, Can Only Be Eaten Once Image credits: StonedInk #9 Name This Plant Image credits: _teadog Delivering the perfect off-the-cuff response is also considered a career-building skill, according to executive speech coach Darlene Price.
