r/Comebacks

Imagine this. Someone asks you a question. You answer it to the best of your abilities. The other person decides that your response does not constitute an answer, because they are not satisfied with it. From your perspective, that was the best answer you could have given and you feel no need to offer up another answer.

If the person is equal or below you in the social hierarchy; 

That is the only response that I am willing to offer up, take it or leave it. 

Obviously, you do not want to talk that way to an authority, so if the person is above you in the social hierarchy; 

I am afraid I do not have a better answer, I wish I did. 

What do you think? Is that a good thing to say to someone who is discontent with your answer? If not, what would you recommend saying or doing instead? Let me know.

What comeback should I use when my boss tells me that wages are calculated in full-hour increments instead of by the minute, every 15 minutes, or every half hour?

Keep in mind that I’m paid by the hour and I don’t get any bonuses.

This is a company that claims they do this because they’re “very strict about time,” which is something I still don’t really understand.

For example, if I start working at 3:20 PM, I don’t start getting paid until 4:00 PM because the previous hour has already partially started.

I don’t know how this works in other countries, but I work in Japan, where this is illegal.

The above usually happens whenever I say something seems off or I express criticism, and he's like: 'Oh, you must know well since you did XYZ'.

As if I am or should be the same person I was over 20 years ago!

He does it with a bitchy attitude, as if he wants to put me in my place. In the long run, I will definitely distance myself, but how would you all handle it?

Being patronizing in the first place is bad enough, repeating the same hateful message again and again is even worse. 

If someone does that to you, say one of the following two things, either; 

I heard you the first time you said it.  

OR 

You already said that. 

What do you think? Do you also find it vexing when people repeat themselves over and over making sure that each time they say it sounds more condescending than it did the previous time? Do you agree with the strategy I came up with for dealing with these people? If not, do you have a better plan? Let me know.
