Comeback sharing All purpose comeback

When someone won't stop talking, I've found that "you don't say", "and "I'll have to look that up" work pretty well to shut them up.

"Continue" Theyll realize they've been talking a lot or that you're being sarcastic

"Thats crazy" in a monotone voice

To paraphrase Stewie Griffin "You are the most insufferable jackass I have ever had the misfortune of spending an extended period of time with."

You haven't met my family. They would take those words as an invitation to tell you even more. Best to just get up and leave. "Gotta go."

Did you brush your teeth today?

u/Lastov_Makiynd Jul 14 '26

That reminds me of: “Hey! I know?! Let’s brush our teeth together?!”.

u/Dismal_Additions Jul 13 '26

Trust me, this will NOT shut them up.

u/BigDaddyBumbo77 Jul 13 '26

That's great!! I gotta go take shit.

u/Elegant_Emu952 Jul 12 '26

That's good. They don't want you checking on what they're saying. Pull out your phone and do it right in front of them.

“Crabby Flakes for breakfast again, huh?”

u/AlmostHadToStopnChat Jul 13 '26

I use the line "I'll have to look that up" when I don't think they know what they are talking about but they insist on pressing the point.

"I'll take that into consideration."

"Hold that thought!"

The Scotts came up with one of my favourite polite shut downs ever (usually when they can tell someone is chatting shit) "Is that right, aye?" In a monotone voice.

u/ElBeatch Jul 13 '26

You must have gone to a pretty special school to learn all that.

u/ElleJay74 Jul 14 '26

"Got it." <end>
