Clever replies when a person is being petty

Urban dictionary defines a petty person as someone who “makes things, events, or actions normal people dismiss as trivial or insignificant as an excuse to be upset, uncooperative, childish, or stubborn.”

You’ve probably have encountered a petty person at work or in your social circle, they overreact and try to suck other people into their drama. You may have gone out of your way to accommodate a petty person, but they complain about the one thing you didn’t do ignoring all of the good things that you’ve done for them.

We all have a choice to control what we think about every day, don’t waste a moment of your precious life worrying about what the petty person thinks of you. Of all of the negative personality petty has to be the most deplorable trait, if a friend starts demonstrating petty behaviour I seriously question if I want to have the person in my life.

If you want to let the person know that your life is bigger than getting mad about who left the jar of peanut butter out on the kitchen counter, use one of our clever replies below.

How to shut up a petty person

  1. I try not to major in minor things.
  2. Noted, I will remember that, but don’t be mad when I pull a you on you.
  3. Always remember no one likes a petty Betty.
  4. I try not to waste my life on petty grievances.
  5. In small and petty arguments it’s not about who’s right and wrong but who can be the bigger person.

  8. I understand you feel that way. Thank you for letting me know.
  9. If I treated you the way you treat me you would hate me.
  10. I refuse to fight petty battles. My life is bigger than that.

How to respond when you are called a disappointment

When someone tells you that they’re disappointed in you it is important to assess if their expectations are reasonable. If you have a relationship with someone in your life is who manipulative, difficult and constantly looking for attention, then you will have a very different response then you would to someone who truly cares about you.

If the person who called you a disappointment has sound expectations and you didn’t live up to your obligations, you need to suck it up, own it, apologize and try to do better next time.

Don’t blindly accept negative feedback from people and accept it as the truth, always consider the source.  I once worked for a woman who was bat shit crazy, she would get all wound up about situations and give her staff horrendously negative feedback that was totally unwarranted. Her sorry ass was eventually fired from the company, I guess management finally figured out that she was a raving lunatic. Whenever she gave her staff negative feedback her staff just took it with a grain of salt.

If someone is trying to manipulate and guilt you by calling you a disappointment, use one of our clever comebacks and let them know you don’t accept their negative view of you.

Clever replies when you are called a perfectionist

what to say if you are called a perfectionist

You know you’re a perfectionist if you have really high standards, unbeatable persistence and you are driven to make things happen. People complain about perfectionists because they set such high standards for themselves and other people to live up to.

Being a perfectionist is both a blessing and it can be a curse, Martha Stewart built an empire using her critical eye to turn something that looked ordinary into something extraordinary. Yet Martha drives a lot of her staff bonkers with her demanding ways.

You will find perfectionists are airline pilots, architects, copy editors, surgeons. Yikes, where would the world be without talented people who can pay attention to the details? Yeah, people like to complain about people who are obsessed about getting things just right, but nobody wants to hire a sloppy surgeon.

Next time someone is giving you a hard time because of your perfectionist tendencies, use one of the clever replies and make the person think twice before they criticize you again.

Steve Jobs was driven by perfection to create the perfect product. He brought the world the technology we just can’t live without. Image making your commute without being able to listen to your favorite podcast.

Steve only accepted perfection from himself and his employees, anything less was unacceptable. While he may be remembered as the world’s greatest innovator, what we can also learn from Steve Jobs is how to take a perceived weakness and turn it into your greatest strength.

Comebacks when someone calls you a party pooper

Funny replies if you are called a party pooper

Urban dictionary describes a party pooper as, “A person who ruins a party by either stopping the fun or not participating in a certain activity.”

If you are the sensible one in your group of friends, you may indeed be called a party pooper. Someone has to have some common sense when people are taking things too far and getting out of control.

People may not always appreciate your feedback or good intentions when you try to get them to smarten up. An example of this is the drunk at the party. The drunk person doesn’t appreciate the person who takes away their keys, but they certainly appreciate not losing their license for drunk driving. When you try to stop someone from a bad decision you can be seen as the bad guy.

People who don’t participate are called party poopers

If you are the person at a party who doesn’t join in, who sits on your phone in the corner or the room, maybe you do need to step it up and join in the fun.

It’s true that some folks are naturally fun, and they don’t realize how lucky they are. Not everyone is a sparkly ray of sunshine at parties, some individuals can feel anxiety or uncomfortable in large groups.

Whatever your story, next time someone calls you a party pooper, use one of our comebacks.

Killer comebacks when someone calls you cringy

by

great comebacks if you are called cringy

Urban dictionary defines cringy as, “when something is just so unpleasant that it makes you literally cringe.”

Cringy could be that time you walked by your crush and tripped right in front of him or let out a huge fart in front of a group of people. Yep, pretty cringy and embarrassing! We all have those moments in our lives when we want to run, hide and die.

Mistakes are proof that you’re trying

Anytime you put yourself out there and try something new there will be people who sit on the sidelines of life and have something to say about it. A lot of content creators get slammed by viewers, in this day and age, everyone seems to have a YouTube channel or blog. A lot of people who put content out there complain about the critics who call their work cringy. Sure, it is horrifying to start something new, not be the best and then be criticized by internet trolls for your content. I look back at my old blog posts and cringe with embarrassment at how horrible they were.

Whenever you start a new pursuit you are not going to be the best at whatever it is, comedian, doctor or file clerk. The only difference is, if you put the file in the wrong folder you won’t be slammed by the critics. If you’re a doctor and screw up, well there could be some pretty severe consequences, a lot worse than being called cringy.

The more you put yourself out there the more criticism you are going to receive. It is probably better to take a few risks and face the negative comments than to be a spectator of life and not an active participant. For some folks when they die, the only difference is they stop breathing. Don’t be one of those people.

Kristin Stewart was  called cringeworthy in early performances

Kristen Stewart Wikipedia

Many of the diehard Twilight book fans think that Kristin Stewart is a terrible actress who actually ruined the Twilight series. Ms. Stewart has been accused of being the worst actress ever, and having a robotic expressionless face in all of her films.

Well, feedback is the breakfast of champions, and Kristen shared that she looks back at all of her movies to see what she can improve. She has broken out of the teen drama films and broken out into more adult roles.

Kristen also had a pretty rough time of it when she was caught in a cheating scandal where she did the dirty on Robert Pattinson. She brought that on herself, having an affair with a married co-star.

She has won over some of her colleagues with her ability to take risks and put herself out there.

“Stewart has braved more scrutiny of her private life than most presidents. She has taken big career risks by doing films like ‘Welcome to the Rileys’, ‘The Runaways’ and ‘On the Road’ (nudity, I hear). She has worked her ass off. Whatever Snow White may be, Kristen is a warrior queen. Give her the crown.” James Franco
