Maybe you are minding your own business and some smart ass singles you out and says “What are you looking at!” It might catch you off guard, and be embarrassing when someone is publicly acting like such a jerk towards you for no reason.
You might want to just let it go, if the person is continually picking on you it might be helpful to say something back. Bullies often pick on people who they consider an easy mark, someone who won’t respond to their taunts and verbal abuse. If they know that you are going to slay them with a comeback and make them look publicly stupid, they won’t pick on you again.
Here are a few verbal smack downs next time some fool asks you what you are looking at.
Go ahead and vote for the best answer. If you can think of an even better comeback leave it in the comments below.

Justin Timberlake had to deal with bullies in high school
Singer Justin Timberlake wasn’t so popular growing up because he preferred music to football and in the state of Tennessee, where he grew up, that just wasn’t considered cool. He’s pretty popular with the ladies now, but he reveals he was picked on all the time at school and he had I had terrible acne and weird hair. When Justin was on the Ellen Dengeneres show he said, “The thing about life … is …… is … everything … you feel makes you weird is essentially what’s gonna make you sexy as an adult…. When you’re a kid I think you try so hard to fit in and when you get older you realize that fitting in isn’t really the thing that’s more interesting…. I would not be here if I would have listened to the kids who told me I was a terrible singer and I was a sissy…. Be different.”

It’s tough being a Mom. I think it’s especially tough with boys. You want to teach them to stand up for thlmseeves, but we also want them to be caring and compassionate. Good for you guys on having such enlightening dinner conversation. Some of those comebacks brought back a lot of memories! Mich
I have actually had an idiot say what are you looking at to me. Wish I had one of these comebacks ready.
Say something like
“Not you cos if I did I would already be blind”
Hay bob my reply would be oh I know when you see the best your eyes don’t know what to live for anymore
answer “if you don’t already know, then I can’t help you”
That’s excellent!
Great
Can’t wait to see this women that do you see something on my head or nose stop looking at me. I am giving a reply back to her..Nasty
a much better comeback than all of those ones is “the reason double doors were invented”
a better one than that is “a mistake.”
That is brilliant! I used that, This boy is just like ‘what are you looking at?’ and I replied with ‘the mistake your parents made’…. the whole class thinks I’m a genius now and no one says anything mean or rude to me!!
Here’s a good come back answer mean girl says, what are u looking at and u say, a bitch
Woo
Yes. Just yes.
That one was good??
Me, well, I’m looking at your stupid personality.
Just thinking about mistakes the world regrets making
What are u looking at
Me: isn’t it obvious im looking at you!
Bully: What’re you looking at? Me: Something ugly. I left the bully speechless. (By the way the bully is a boy not a girl :p)
I have one for
“what u looking at”
Like me say
“ur ugly mugg”
???
???oh burn lol
***THE BEST ONE YET***
Bully: What are you looking at?
Me: I don’t know, that’s why I’m looking at it.
( I have actually used this one)
Bully: what are u looking at
Victim:I haven’t figuried that out yet
Bully: What are you looking at?
Victim: oh sorry, I just can’t stop looking at people who have ugly personality like you!
Bully: what r u looking at
Comeback 1: an ugly image
Comeback 2: just thinking if you where born an asshole
Comeback 3: a reason for your existence
it said” if it wasn’t for that hole in your mouth” they mean “hole in your face that noise comes out of.”
I would say “don’t know but it sure is ugly,” lol I got it from happy feel 2 xD
-I’m not looking at anything, I’m just trying to burn a hole in the wall
-Cats stare at things all the time and I don’t hear you questioning their actions.
-You have eyes, try using those instead of that noise hole
Bully “What are you looking at?”
Me “I don’t know but it sure looks ugly!”
Yeah
Bully: what are you looking at
Me: oh shit sorry I was daydreaming and ended up looking at something ugly
if someones asks you that you should day “idk but it sure looks ugly”
Here’s a comeback
Someone: What are you looking at?
You: That’s what I’m trying to figure out
Bully: What are you looking at?
Victim: God’s Mistake
Another remark is “I don’t know, but it’s looking right back at me”
Bully: What are you looking at
You: I don’t know, I can’t figure it out yet.
I use this one so much, it freaking halarious to see their reaction.
Your reply to that should be “something ugly”
What you looking at, well your looking at me to know I’m looking at you
You could say “Oh, I’m just trying to decide what’s uglier. Your face or your personality”. SAVAGE. LOL, I came up with that myself.
“What I’m looking at? Oh nothing. Just your parents simple mistake.
.Well guess I had to go blind eventually
.what a mistake thought condoms where full proof
.I was wondering how do you pay for so many broken mirrors or do you wear a paper bag?
WHAT ARE YOU LOOKING AT!
I’m looking at one direction quickly going the other!
I just say I don’t know but IT’S looking back
Sadly, the future of humanity.
I was looking at my crush, and he said “what are you looking at,” and my heart dropped. It was pretty loud in my classroom so I just pretended to say something quietly. It was so embarrassing and I could’ve really used one of these comebacks when he made me feel like an idiot. Totally not giving this guy my attention any more after this jerky remark. People in my grade say this all the time to other people, but it hurt a lot more when he said this especially since I know he USED to like me too. I don’t think he has liked me since Christmas.
I would say-
1) Still trying to find that out
2) If i knew WHAT you were I would tell you
