I like the way I gather more of these as I get older. It could be something as simple as "that's not true" or "I disagree" that can be the thing that feels like a great comeback in the moment. I've realised that I've used these quite a bit lately. The other day somebody who thinks he's higher status than me disagreed with me on something and told me why I was wrong. Before I'd have felt like there's no point in responding unless I could give a somewhat detailed response there and then. But if you know they're wrong you're entitled to say "I disagree" and there's nothing they can say back. He looked at me like I was being difficult for saying that, but fuck him. Here's a few more. Feel free to post yours! I can't do everything at once don't be nosy when's that ever stopped you? there's always some excuse wouldn't you rather it be a surprise? that's beside the point know your limit I'll be the judge of that well you can't have everything all you do is complain you asked spit it out let me take a wild guess... you're making me nervous no comment you just look after yourself you're too quick to take sides stop it don't! you're abusing your position it's only a rumour don't believe everything you hear who told you that? I'll take my chances no surprise there did I touch a nerve? where's the fun in that? you are joking? funny at who's expense? don't bring me into it worth it be nice you’ll have to respect my decision don't be a bully
