What to say to someone who has stood you up

What to say when someone stands you up

When someone stands you up, it says so much more about them than it does about you. It basically tells you that the individual has very little respect for other people, acting that it is OK to treat people that way.

Jackson went to an elementary school with a kid called Kyle, who loved to stir up trouble, and sought attention without earning it.

Kyle was the kind of person who often had bad intent, and would cause drama in the class group chat, often personally against Jackson, who brushed it off. From this sly bullying behavior, Jackson never really liked Kyle, but time had moved on and they hadn’t seen each other for a couple of years.

Years later In high school, Jackson received a text from Kyle asking him to meet up because he wanted to discuss something with him. Jackson waited a day or so before responding and agreeing because truth be told, he really didn’t want to see Kyle, as he was so busy with school and his part-time job.

Out of kindness, he decided that he would go, thinking maybe Kyle had changed as a person. Truly, his old classmate couldn’t be worse than who he used to be, Jackson thought. They arranged to meet at a food court. Jackson brought a friend with him, so that if Kyle caused any trouble or “got-you pranks”, he would have an observer there.

Kyle was a no show that day, he stood Jackson up, with no communication, wasting Jackson’s time and flaming any revitalizing of the relationship. Kyle showed he hadn’t changed, in fact, he was still the same insignificant little turd that he had always been.

If someone stands you up without a valid reason or attempt to communicate correction and apology, don’t waste another minute of your life on that person again. They are not worth thinking about for even a moment of your precious time.

If the person contacts you after standing you up or being no show, here are a few things you can say to let them know they are irrelevant.

What to say to a shallow person

by Leave a Comment

Funny things to say to a SHALLOW PERSON

Hanging out with a shallow person can be fun for a while, but it can also grow tiresome pretty quickly. Sure, we are all interested in superficial things when we’re 15. As you get older most people are more concerned with deeper issues. When all your friend can talk about is “Keeping up with the Kardashians”, they may no longer be a fit for you.

Shallow people focus on the appearance of things, and are constantly consumed with their social status and comparing themselves to others. They take selfies everywhere, and are overly preoccupied with what other people think of them. They are more concerned with the image they portray to the world, and they don’t actually care about the reality of their life, which may be in shambles.

A shallow person may be into you right now, but if something better comes along, they will ditch you like a hot potato. I once had a stunningly beautiful friend, who had the depth of a potted plant. She would use others to get invited to events, then would ditch them when she got there as soon as she saw someone more influential to talk to.

If you want to let someone know that you have had enough of their shallow behavior, use one of our great comebacks.

What to say to someone who has an entitled attitude

by Leave a Comment

Clever replies to someone with an ENTITLED ATTITUDE

We’ve all met entitled people who believe that they are truly special and that the world owes them a favour. Entitled folks don’t think that the rules that apply to most of the population apply to them.

I was working in first class for an airline, we had two passengers who were upgraded from economy class, meaning they didn’t even pay for a first class airfare. The couple was so demanding that they expected better service than the real first class passengers (who were gracious and kind.) At the end of the flight, the man snapped his fingers at one of the air hostesses as if she was a dog, and should come running to cater to his needs.

When the flight attendant didn’t come right away, as she was helping someone else he became rude and belligerent thinking nothing of inconveniencing other full fare paying passengers.

You may have had enough if the entitled person in your life who refuses to compromise, continually takes without giving back or apologize after being a jerk. Sometimes you have to evaluate if it is worth having certain people in your life if they continually have bad behaviour.

If you want to let the entitled individual know that you have had enough or give them a wake-up call, try one of our clever comebacks below.

Christian Bale is infamous for being an entitled jerk

Christian Bale can like an entitled movie star

Christian Bale is a talented actor but sometimes his acting pales in comparison to his off screen antics. A former publicist shared that he can be downright rude and unkind when fans come upto talk to him. He even, “”lecture little girls about being rude and intrusive until tears streamed down their faces, and their parents tugged them away from our table.”

A fan sent a letter to his house and he responded by faxing his publicist saying that the fab should be “eliminated,” and “A screwdriver thrust thru the eyeball into the brain prevents any screaming. Let me know how it goes.” Wow, what a lack of gratitude for the fans who actually made him famous.

We get that it must be annoying having people approach you when you’re not in the mood, butChristian seems to be forgetting that it is the fans who allowed him to have this great life.

How to tell an energy vampire to back off

by Leave a Comment

How to tell an ENERGY VAMPIRE to back off

Urban Dictionary defines an energy vampire as, “A person who boosts his own energy by taking energy from others by means of an argument, belittlement, criticism or other one-sided conversation.” You will know if you have one in your life if you feel totally drained after spending time with that person.

Energy vampires can be your family, people that you work with or even some so called friends. You know the friend, they say that they support you but they make snide comments about your life, and you feel offended and sick after a few hours in their company.

People have different reasons for their negativity, or  they could be jealous of you, they may not be able to control their negative emotions. Some folks suck the positive eneragy out of you as if it is a way to sustain their own life force.

Don’t sacrifice your life energy for someone who is only concerned with taking and sucking the energy out of you. Save yourself for the people who you value and replenish your soul. I have one relative who is close to me but I honestly don’t tell the individual anything about my life, and I am talking about major things. I know that whatever I tell him will be verbally decimated and I will feel negative about whatever I am doing after speaking with him.

Next time an energy vampire says something to you, here are a few things that you can say to let them know that you’re on to them.

Funny replies when someone rolls their eyes after you talk

Funny replies when someone rolls their eyes after you say something.

Teenagers are world famous for eye-rolling at any opportunity, and often they add whatever after for emphasis. When someone rolls their eyes at you at first you might be taken aback or startled, because it is extremely rude behaviour.

You could ask the person if you are doing something that they are annoyed about and offer up an opportunity for discussion. Maybe the individual is being triggered by a certain behaviour that you are not aware of.

If they’re basically being a smart ass, who is being rude and arrogant you may feel like it is time to call the person out on their eye rolling, use one of our clever comebacks below.

When eye rolling is involved.

When rolling your eyes doesn’t end well

I was working at a job and one of my coworkers kept rolling her eyes at her managers. She soon found herself laid off and looking for another job. The girl was really talented, did her job well, but this one trait came back to bite her unemployed ass.

People may annoy you, sure, but if you are in a work situation you may want to save the eye rolling for your social life.
