Some people have a knack for getting under other people’s skin. I’m sure that you, at some point in time, would also have encountered such people and would want to know how to deal with such annoying people. Therefore, for your convenience, here are some sarcastic retorts you can use to tell them to get lost, politely.
When Someone Comments On Your Work
Best way to get back at someone
If someone tries to criticise your work, the best way to get them off is to ask a difficult question related to your work, and when they can’t answer, use the Game of Thrones dialogue – You know nothing ‘name of annoying person’.
If Someone is Eating Your Head
Stop before I go crazy
No one likes to stand and listen to BS dished out by people they hate. The best way to nudge these people off is to smile and be nice with disconcerting eye contact and in the end just say, ‘well, I hope the rest of your day is as pleasant as you are’.
When Someone Comments On Your Clothes
You better watch yourself first
If someone comments on your clothes, just say in Kevin Spacey’s Frank Underwood style, ‘Well then, I should take you shopping next time’ and then look at their attire from head to toe.
When Someone You Don’t Like Tries To Converse With You
Umm. I’m actually not interested
We have all been in that awkward situation, where we don’t want to talk to the other person. The best way to get out of that situation is to be polite, while not giving them a proper response to anything they ask. Simply nodding your head at what they say should be enough.
When Someone Gives Unsolicited Advice
Ohh really!
The best way to get rid of these people is by saying, ‘I appreciate your advice, but’, that’s it! Stop right there and they will understand you don’t need their unnecessary advice.
