Has anyone ever thought of a snappy comeback when it was too late to say it?

Adam, your topic on coming up with good discussion ideas, only to forget them later made me think of this thread :D

I have a tendancy to think of good comebacks to rude comments long after the situation happened. One of my co-workers is a total bitch and has yelled at me several times over stupid things, like making her wait 30 seconds while I finish using the copy machine. I just ignore her and let her make an ass of herself in front of our other co-workers, but I always come up with something later on that I wish I had said to her like, "Sorry, I guess I should have started the copy machine 30 seconds earlier so you wouldn't have to wait."

There's been plenty of times LOL




There's a Seinfeld quote/episode that easily fits this thread, Ill leave it to Andrea to mention it.




Ok Ill say the quote part

"The jerkstore called, they're ruunin out of you!"

OMG, story of my life. Especially when you get in an argument with someone, and you're so upset that you're at a loss for words...and then later you'll think of the perfect thing you could have said. So frustrating.

:lol: unfortunately, it's happened to me too many times.

[veggie-tari-jenn]

not really I am pretty good at that...but sometimes later on come up with something better I could have said.

[HuntingtonM15]

Like everyone else, it has happened a ton to me.

[PrettyinPink55]

Do years later count? :lol: :lol: :lol:
I often wonder, if I had just opened my mouth then and said what I felt I needed to say, but couldn't at the time for a lack of words, would things be different? I know I'd sure feel a hell of a lot better!!! :lol: :lol: :lol: It just didn't come to me. I guess replaying a situation in your head over and over again helps to think of comebacks...at least in my case!!

[Sharop]

Quite a lot. I rarely know what to say if anyone starts on me.

[ponytail]

That happens to me a lot. I'm not a witty person.

[phoebe7165]

ALL THE FREAKIN' TIME!!!!

It's nice to know I'm not the only one!!;)

[Courtnee]

Haha, not really. I'm pretty quick witted.

[Yooch]

It happens most of the time with me. I think of good ones, but too late for them to have the greatest impact. A few of my friends and relatives have this amazing ability with immediate and funny comebacks. It's, unfortunately, not in my skill set.
