  1. I think all of your comebacks are very useful and will be useful in the right situations. I love this website. I think another good comeback to put in this website is, “You bought your life off of Craigslist, that’s why it’s so fake.”

  2. This has been really helpful! I have no seat on the bus and when kids start being about it now I have something!
    How about this: If I wanted someone stupid’s opinion I would go ask Siri or Google.

  3. If someone were to say something like; “Yo, fat ass!” I’d reply with “Yeah, I’m chubby. I can lose weight though. You’re a dumbass though. I don’t think there’s a fix for that.”

  4. When someone makes a joke about you, laughs at it, and then says: “It’s just a joke!” reply with:
    “So is your life but I don’t laugh at it.”
