the elusive witty comeback

OUTPLAYED

written letter to senior management explaining that you will no longer shop at that store as long as he is employed by them

to be honest over half hour later now im still not sure what an appropriate comeback would have been.. -.-

the comeback will usually have nothing to do with it

first, decide if this guy is cool or if hes a faggot, because that will determine the angle you take of making a friendly comeback or going for mean/embarassing.

Since he looked like a twilight character, im guessing its the latter (its usually the latter). So first off you can just say "what?" like you didnt hear him, but in a fairly authoritative tone, that will force him to repeat his comment, which will lose all spontaneity and humor that it had. If you wanna take it a step further, say "I dont understand what youre talking about"

Ignoring him after he repeats it locks it in your favor.

Or you can turn to the chick and say "Can u understand him?"
Or you could say "why dont you just ring up my stuff shop-boy"

"your mom"

thats the universal comeback to all witty comments

i dont really understand what he is getting at with his line? makes no sense to me

thanks for the tips byrnesam. i dunno if i would describe him as being cool or a faggot, probably neither? he was a little weird but i think he was just bored mostly, i mean i don't think he was trying to be a douche or anything, but i almost never really think of people i see irl as douches so maybe i give them too much benefit of the doubt lol.

julep - i don't think there's anything to get which is why it's kind of annoying from my perspective, it's just a casual "conversation-starter" without having any real intent or direction and it sort of puts pressure on me to say something substantive or relevant, and im all like hrrnnnnggg

My initial reaction would be, try to look sad and slowly take my hand up on the belt and go "no..." And then pretend I'm all bummed out and now I have to go put it back.

Or if the girl next to you was semi fun or good looking or cool you could just tilt your head towards her and say in a low voice "she said I could".

(Might bring her in to the conversation).

Or you could like go "I don't need premission to buy anything, cuz I'm a bwauss" (And right after you can do a little flex!!)

When you take a step back and think a lot simpler, then you will realize this guy is fucking with bigredhoss b/c he isn't intimidated by him. Bigred, when someone does that to you it becomes imperative that you establish the ground right there. Think about it, if he was trying to be your friend do you really think he'd open up with that? Shit dude, I wanna fight this guy now. You know what I'd say? I'd say "Man I'm stooping pretty low without a comeback, but your ass has to scan all this shit im buying nigga. Go ahead, spit on my protein bar and I'll smash your head into the cashier mother fucker".

Or you could quickly, all dexteriously grab one of the bars, pretending that's what he ment and do a "flick" like only cock your wrist, and then throw it off the belt without paying attention to where it might land on the floor. (has to happen really fast, like that specific bar wasn't allowed on the belt, and since you got it off sick fast, now it'z cool and you can buy the rest).

After it's away from the belt you can do a little satisfied "nod", mostly to yourself, like you're thinking "crisis avoided".

A few lines I've used at the grocery store:

Scenario: I got surprised by the hotness of the cashier, long dark hair, a bit skinny with big brown eyes, and a small flower in her hair functioning as a pin.

And just as I looked up she said something, but no idea what she said. And she had just begun scanning my wares.

So in response I grabbed a toothbrush I was buying, and I said;

"You see this right here" (now she nods), and I go "I bought this color because I feel it matches my sparkling personality".

(It was a pink toothbrush).

Now she did that thingy where she takes one of her hands up to try and cover her smile. And she kept semi-giggling for the next minute.

When she stopped giggling, I all proud said "yeah, I usually brush my teeth like, all the time n stuff".

I'm not sure if this was good, because she had a look on her face "wtf is he saying".

Anyway I felt crisis averted and that it went a lot better than it could have.

Also when it's older ladies you can troll them.

I sometimes take a ware and ask "Do you think this might make me fat?"

(I'm very skinny, and I struggle so hard to gain weight).

And she usually reply with "ehh... I don't think that'll be a problem".

And I go "Ohh, why, how so...."

And then they like stutter a bit, like "shit, I can't be unpolite lol".

And from there the opening's already been done and it's just fun and smooth sailing after here.

Marius: LMAO

hmm, maybe it's a regional thing but i didn't get that impression. like maybe someone saying something in north dakota that's usually just innocent small-talk would be more likely someone fucking with you in new york lol. although admittedly he is not the type of person i'd expect small-talk from. i mean i don't think he was trying to be my friend per se, but the way he said it he didn't seem very confident himself.

also i guess i should mention that the girl in front of me was not particularly attractive so i didn't feel like he was going all "alpha" on me from that angle.

Well, he has had all day to practice these lines...I guess in a sense he gets paid to do it...he probably says that to every other person that comes thru his line...and maybe he was scared of that girl and needed an outburst of sociability...but when I.m in this situation and I.m not really in the mood for these shenanigans, I will usually come back with a little laugh and maybe something like ..,"that.'s funny" and ofc quickly move forward with checking out

That is deemed illegal in some circles. Unbeatable.

I find it odd that he said this guy-to-guy. This would be a pretty standard tongue-in-cheek comment girl-to-guy or guy-to-girl imo.

you should have said : "oh yeah? well the jerk store called and they're all out of you!"

I don't think villain is playing on this level. They'd probably both just stare at each other and go awkward silence mode after.

Just a blunt "Sorry I'm taken"

He had long red hair so maybe in fact thats his idea of a pickup line. You should have whispered to him: i dont care about all this stuff, just write your number on the receipt

or: "If you don't let me buy this, i will take a shit somewhere in the store."

Christ, you guys are way too fucking hostile rofl

I want to say that I think the problem of witty or not in social situations is much deeper than just learning some sweet return lines, so here comes a bunch of stuff.

-------


Ok I have some tips. I think we are similar in some ways, so I'll mostly describe how all of this has been for me and hopefully something will be useful to you.

-Decide on your goals in life.

Evaluate your goals for life, and create a mental (or write it) outline of what values you wish to uphold along the way to your goals. What am I talking about exactly? Well, you need to know what you want to achieve in the longterm in order to take the steps back through the intermediate time and present, determining what would be the optimal approach to life in order to fulfill those goals.

Sort out what type of approach to your day-to-day life fits your goals. Attempt to fulfill that approach.

-----
My goals are personal but upon evaluating them I realized that I will need to build a network of people of whom I share mutual trust, I need to be able to approach people and be charming, I need to be an effective communicator. Most people's goals require the same.

On my journey to get there I've realized the following:

I am sometimes perceived as slow or 'absentminded'. Usually, I'm just thinking about something else and my focus -- my mind -- isn't in the moment. Turns out this is what it means to be absentminded. It is not an endearing quality when you're among other people.

Bring yourself into the moment. Specifically focus on the present and what's going on around you. Look around at your environment and form ideas about what you see -- it is much easier to come up with something relevant to say (whether the situation calls for a witty quip or not) when you have already built a mental map of the going-ons. This is called priming; it is derivative of the concept of associative memory.

This takes a conscious effort but has become easier with practice in my experience.

I think this is the essential base from which to build upon. Now, you can learn the characteristics of wit. Its function, form -- so when appropriate you will be ready to apply it.

----

lol again idk why you guys want to make hostile remarks. the more hostile remarks you make the more your mind will be attuned to them; they may come out when you intend to say something nice

in this specific situation, I probably would not of been interested in making conversation with the young man. I may of replied, "Hey, hey, just get to scanning; I have muscles to grow" with a friendly grin; faux muscle flex. If I had wondered about something in the store (ie I'm looking at protein bars, I wonder which tastes like shit or not) I might throw in a quick question on his opinion of the protein bars I selected while he rings them up. Of course this example is specific to the way that my humor works, and may not fit you (I like the one above "I'm in a relationship lolz".

o also he didn't really give you much to work with, his remark was not particularly clever or interesting, infact his comment sucked badly and is difficult to reply to in an appropriate man-to-man fashion. even so its a good time to practice your skills

lemme know wut u think


/mass edits.. my grammar is extra shit when hungover

You should of just said "Yeah Dave", everyone would of been like WTF and then you could of moved on. I don't think wit can be learnt, you've either got it or you haven't.

Say "Oh wait i forgot something". Go find and buy some fake tan and hair dye then leave it for him with a pack of razors and casually walk out of the door while eating your protein bar.

great post night

priming concept seems like a really good idea, i'll definitely try that. i think the goal-setting would be the hardest part for me, partly because i don't know what i want to be doing 5 or 10 or 20 years from now, at best i have some vague ideas about the type of person i want to be. goal-setting in general has always seemed soul-crushing to me for some reason, maybe i just need to grow up though lol. can you elaborate on what you mean by approach to day-to-day life? are you talking more in terms of finding the right mental mindset, or about setting some kind of daily regimen? it seems to me like if you have the former in place that the latter should follow, but maybe it doesn't work that way.

also agree with what you said on the humor in that it depends on your personality and whatnot, i can see some of the things you said working for you but sounding weird coming out of me lol. also agree his comment was not brilliant !

DISAGREE. PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE NEXT TIME

what about just saying "yes"

simple and easy

Next time you see him, tell him his off-the-wall comment helped you find the meaning of life

HAHAHAHA!

I think the key to witty comebacks is to just be in troll mode all the time. Think of whatever you can to level the person. I would likely say "You have to PAY for this stuff?" and then work off of the reply. If he says yes I scoop everything back up and put it in my cart if i'm in the mood to, otherwise just grin and that will likely be the end of it. Always be ready to take it one step too far to where it isn't funny anymore and then keep going.

Tell him the jerk store called and there running out of him

heh, yep, everyone jumps to too extremes on the internets.
I think joking: "your mom" is about as extreme as you want to go at max.
otherwise something good for conversation is to pluck a word out of the air and talk about the history of it. change it a bit and add in some personal "facts"
So "yes, the tomas jefferson told me I could, with the emancipation procolomation, all men are free and equal when using services. He is my good pal. I call him 'tommy' he calls me 'dozer'.. "
"dozer eh? why is that?"
"I work in bulldozing.."

id try to steer away from any comebacks that make you look mentally handicapped.

booooring

About goal setting & approaching daily life.. I'll use myself again (prolly gonna be concise here, I'm fkn starving atm):

A while back I was prompted to take a minute out of my daily (meandering, pointless lol) life to figure out what I wanted out of life, and to consider if my lifestyle at the time would give me a good % chance of achieving them. My strategy was to take a look at what I spent time doing aside from purely recreational stuff (for me, was playing videogames). What were my other interests? I began thinking about the time I spent reading the news, people's thoughts on events, finance & psych book(s), and how I eventually noticed that John and Susie Q. public on these forums and new aggregating sites really didn't seem to have a clue about how the world works. I realized I was always really searching for a broader understanding of how human society works. I'll spare you the specific whys, but asking myself this has lead me into a strong interest in psychology, economics, and finance. So with that I had a base from which to set my goals.

I recognized that I was completely broke, that I hated relying on my family, and that it was killing me inside. Furthermore, it is hard to get the experience and knowledge I want without money to pay for it. I needed to develop a reliable job skill.

Putting these things together lead me to choose a major which would serve my interests, and come with reliable job market demand. Now I had a specific goal: Attain a degree in my chosen field, and achieve a situation where I have good job prospects going forward (high GPA, extra curriculars (<--just starting here)).

To do all that I knew I had to live a lifestyle which supports a healthy mind & body. It is also hard to get a high GPA when missing half of the semester's classes or not studying. In order to succeed in extracurricular organizations, or get a job, or excel in the workplace, social skills are important. Etc. Etc. I've used what life experience has taught me and things learned from others to get the ball rolling.

Trying to work towards succeeding in all of these things has lead me to change my daily approach to life.

say nothing and start aggressively downing the milk infront of him, don't break eye contact until u finish the whole thing (unlucky you if you bought a big milk - if theres too much to drink overflow it down your front, this looks better even). then put down the protein bars and don't break eye contact until you've paid and are walking away, even then look back several times.

ROFL omg now i'm going to keep going to the store late at night and buying milk hoping i get the chance to do one of these

meh u guys all suck. the best serious answer is. just look at him making eye contact and in a calm normal firm tone just say. " I pretty much just do whatever i want." when you own people without using hostility of any form it creates much higher value for yourself. any retaliation is also easily thwarted by something similar to first statement. seriously it makes people realize they're dumb and not funny and retains badass status for yourself while still retaining nice guy potential.
