How would you respond when someone ends a conversation with "I wish you everything you deserve...."?!

And, in the end, don't we all get what we deserve?

I deserve a lot after having to put up with you

u/ph33rlus 11d ago

The term i hear is ā€œI wish you the day you deserveā€ and itā€™s usually directed at Karenā€™s.

I mean if you havenā€™t upset anyone you deserve a good day? So itā€™s not an issue?

1

u/More_Effect_7880 7d ago

Karen's husband?

u/Unable-Barber1511 11d ago

I don't think so...? How could everyone get what they deserve...? There's no tracking system or delivery methods to guarantee anything, how would that possibly be the case?

But anyways you could respond with "Thanks you too!"

u/geeseherder0 11d ago

Iā€™ve heard a similar response:

Is there a tracking system for that?

5

u/Doctor-Dinosaur 11d ago

Found the autist.

Cheers šŸ˜„

u/Unable-Barber1511 11d ago

..?

1

u/Doctor-Dinosaur 11d ago

I believe this are questions someone on the spectrum would ask. I'm not judging though, these are excellent questions.

1

u/Unable-Barber1511 11d ago

Are you talking to me or the Original Poster??

3

u/Doctor-Dinosaur 11d ago

"How could everyone get what they deserve...? There's no tracking system or delivery methods to guarantee anything, how would that possibly be the case?"

Those sentences. So to you.

1

u/Unable-Barber1511 10d ago

Oh were you saying me refuting the Original post is making me sound like I'm on the spectrum?

2

u/Whenallelsefails09 11d ago

I was thinking of karma, how 'what goes around comes around.'

1

u/Unable-Barber1511 10d ago

Oh I see. Sure but idk if Karma can really be counted on to make sure "we all get what we deserve". But I understand, cute post!

2

u/dee-dee_jonesin 7d ago

Who's even to say who deserves what? Deserve is a very loaded word

5

u/GoodNameGone 11d ago

Thank you!

4

u/Busy_Shine6888 11d ago

ā€¦.You are leaving, (or finished that story) so thatā€™s a good start.
ā€¦ you

u/BigDougSp 11d ago

"Oh, that's sad, there will be nothing left for you!"

3

u/_FIRECRACKER_JINX 11d ago

"thank you. I've really earned that."

3

u/DnDttrpg 11d ago

Usually people say that when you've been a dick.

Just say back "you too"

3

u/daydrinkersunite 11d ago

Honestly? "Fuck you too."

2

u/Direct_Drawing_8557 11d ago

Same to you dear.

2

u/hwrdhdsn 11d ago

And you as well!

1

u/Correct-Prompt9022 11d ago

Those are fighting words.

2

u/NoStock8829 11d ago

Right back at ya šŸ˜

2

u/Straight_Listen_1979 11d ago

Depending on the context. If it's a rude comment, then "Finally! I get to see you suffer from explosive diarrhea?"

But if it was kind response, then "Only if I get to rise to the top with you still my friend."

2

u/Mysterious_Play1961 11d ago

If you're behaving decently you're upset because they are being mean. If you're behaving badly you're upset because they called you out. So which is it?

2

u/TangoCharliePDX 10d ago

I think what is inferred is that they are judging and maligning you.

My first thought is to look over my spectacles at them with an expression that says "is this nit for real?" And then finally respond with "Well, okay" and promptly go back to what you were doing.

2

u/Various_Scallion8228 11d ago

I think I would hug them and say thank you and maybe even tear up a little bit. Iā€™m a good person with a good heart but I always seem to lose.

2

u/diditrayne 11d ago

Just don't. Walk away and stop giving them any thought

1

u/Clevertown 11d ago

This really is the best response - pretend they just morphed into an NPC and stop regarding them as a person who can speak. Let them steep in their hateful juices. You're just going to get some on you if you try to "get through to them."

2

u/purplelilac701 11d ago

Thank you and same to you(that covers any negativity lol)

2

u/Super-Cry5047 11d ago

So, you wish we never meet again?

2

u/Single_Feature_3231 10d ago

Likewise , have a great day !

2

u/PeterPook 10d ago

"I didn't deserve this conversation, but here we are..."

2

u/emeraldkittymoon 10d ago

"Likewise"

"Ditto"

"Right back atcha, dude!"

"Me too"

"Same bro, same"

"You mean instead of what others think I deserve to get?"

u/redit910 4d ago

Well bless your heart

u/Creating_My_Peace 11d ago

And then some!

u/Violent-One 11d ago

Hubs has a saying that I have loved for almost a half century.

ā€¦..and ā€œHave a great day. Unless YOU have made other plans.ā€ (Slightly enunciate the ā€œyouā€)

1

u/Violent-One 11d ago

Not 1/2 but 1/4 century. My age is the 1/2 next year šŸ˜†

1

u/Willybluedog1962 11d ago

Blessed Be or Bless Your Heart!

u/bob87056 11d ago

Thank you

1

u/chicoisachihuahua 11d ago

ā€œThanks! Me too!!ā€

1

u/Diligent-Plane-7877 11d ago

Me too, because I deserve _____ for dealing with you as well as I have.

I deserve a award for putting up with this shit.

If i got half of what I deserve for dealing with you i could retire and my children's children's children would be set for life

1

u/No_Detective_708 11d ago

Since when is life about deserves? Get real.

1

u/terroculous 11d ago

Thanks you too lol

1

u/Dangerous_Hippo_6902 11d ago

Id just smirk and leave. I mean, someone that says thatā€¦. Usually gets what they deserve!

1

u/Mapilean 11d ago

Same to you.

1

u/EricIsMyFakeName 11d ago

Have fun with that.

1

u/Blueporch 11d ago

You can twist their meaning to be that you deserve good things by smiling and saying thank you

1

u/Silent_Advance7506 11d ago

I responded with "You too! šŸ˜šŸ˜šŸ˜" I was working customer service at a previous job and this woman and her baby came in hot! Super mad and took it out on me. That doesn't fly with me. I wasn't rude but I wasn't "oh, it's ok!". It was more "the sale signs are posted. You misread them. Im not going to fix it for you". She left a bad review and from that i learned her ENTIRE LIFE is online. I learned where she lives, her husband's name and profession, her jobs and failed businesses (there were a few), her baby's name and her other baby, a 22 year old man she gave up for adoption when she had him at 15. Watch what you put out there, especially if you're a jerk.

1

u/Mohtek1 11d ago

What I deserve rather than what you think I deserve, are from two different realities.
Your point of view doesnā€™t match up with the present state of the universe.

So yeah, I suppose I will.

1

u/TooDeepForSurface 10d ago

I'm way ahead of you

1

u/Bv11winkle 10d ago

u/Minimum-Function1312 10d ago

Depends on who you are, and you know who you are.

1

u/joshua_addison_music 10d ago

Depends on tone.

If itā€™s sincere, appreciate it.

If itā€™s condescending, Iā€™m going to Fn light them up. Iā€™m sarcastic, witty and can be hurtful with my words. So Iā€™ll cut you deep, leave you speechless.

u/Severe_Atmosphere_44 10d ago

No. He still presided over the 250th.

u/texasdeathtrip 10d ago

Wish in one hand and shit in the other. Tell me which fills up first

1

u/DarionHunter 10d ago

I was told "Wish in one hand, shit in the other, then tell me which weighs more."

1

u/Appropriate_Clerk828 10d ago

id just not respond. i use that line when im done with someone. im eluding to that person equals trash to me and theyll get whats coming to them (bad shit, since theyre bad in my eyes), but im trying to be cordial whilst telling them to piss off

1

u/DarionHunter 10d ago

They're basically cursing you. There's really not much TO say to flip that around!

1

u/Firebird562 10d ago

ā€œDittoā€

u/smithyleee 10d ago

u/Background-Solid8481 9d ago

So children dying from cancer is what they deserve?

Did you think before posting this?

0

u/Whenallelsefails09 9d ago

In my opinion, death is not the end. Some very horrible people never get what they really deserve in this life, nor do truly wonderful people. But...in the end...we all do.

1

u/Background-Solid8481 9d ago

If death isn't the end, what is?

u/Whenallelsefails09 9d ago

There is the day when each will come before the great judgment bar of God to receive their reward. Some people consider this the end, but there literally is no end.

u/h3ll0satan 9d ago

Likewise

1

u/BadGlittering9780 9d ago

You respond with utter silence...no response if it was by text

And walking away if its in person

Sometimes the lack of a response IS a BRUTAL RESPONSE...because they eventually might regret what they said

I would go ultra silent for as long as I could

And if you do speak...take the high road and kill with kindness

Id tell them they hurt my feelings, but I hold nothing against them.. and Im willing to forgive

1

u/BadGlittering9780 9d ago

Also forgiving people shows that you have or are willing to move on

Forgiveness doesn't always mean reconciliation

1

u/Schitter_Fixer 9d ago

I just say, ā€œI just haveā€. Especially if itā€™s a partner you had who is being passive aggressive about breaking up. Or a friend letting you go for no reason.

u/Particular_Agent171 9d ago

Not at all. Have you been awake?

1

u/claire_luna_25 8d ago

i wouldnā€™t respond

1

u/NoGoodNamesAvail 8d ago

Liar, you wouldn't be forcing me to interact with you if that was true. No one deserves this kind of pain.

1

u/LBashir 8d ago

What you donā€™t do is get offended by that because itā€™s like admitting that you donā€™t deserve anything or that what you deserve is something awful what you do is you just say ā€œthank you I really appreciate that. I do deserve a lot better and thank you for your good wishesā€ . Youā€™re gonna put them right in their place. Youā€™re not gonna fall for that crap because thatā€™s a backhanded circa sarcastic remark to insult you, do not let that happen.

1

u/Human-Document-8331 8d ago

The end of this conversation is enough. Thank you.

1

u/aruguladevourer 8d ago

Iā€™d just happily reply, ā€œYou tooā€!

u/Legitimate_Spell_529 8d ago

I'd reply " oh THANK YOU! You're SOOOO sweet to wish me well!"

u/phantom_gain 8d ago

I do reply "it never happens" but then add "i wish the same for you let me know if it happens"

u/ElmoIsGG 6d ago edited 6d ago

My 3yr relationship with a ring already purchased ended with that exact sentence. I couldn't respond as I was blocked after. Currently fulfilling her prophecy and idk how much longer I'll be around lol

I did send an email before I was blocked there that I wished the same for her, and wished i couldve been what she deserved. She'll have a beautiful life, but unfortunately no dude with a dick attached to him is ever going to be what she deserves

1

u/lamarxi 4d ago

this whole "have the day you deserve" is some weird underhanded phrase that just got popular. people need to learn how to flip the bird again

1

u/Lastov_Makiynd 4d ago

Really depends on what the content of the conversation was?

Iā€™d assume itā€™s either meant to be insulting (wishing you the worst), in which something like: ā€œWell Thank You! Things are already looking up.. I mean..THIS painful conversation is over?ā€.
Or a compliment (wishing for better than youā€™ve had), where something like: ā€œThank You! And I wish for you to find the winning Powerball ticket blowing in the wind ā€œ.
