This is from the old DS site but it is new to our newbies and I thought you old-schoolers might enjoy reading it again too.
Appropriate Responses to People Who Annoy You
(Originally Posted on 04/03/13)
We just have to face it - Some people are annoying - they are rude - they are self-absorbed and, if you are in any way, shape or form, like me, they continue to piss you off. The sad part about all this is that our encounter with this form of stupidity is rarely - if ever - about us!
This being the case, I came up with some responses that can be very effective when dealing with people who annoy us. So now, if we encounter someone saying something stupid or hurtful, tries to blame us or does other terribly annoying things, the following responses are the happily appropriate ones to use! Enjoy!
Get real and deal Get a clue How does this concern me? The retro - Talk to the hand! I don't give a shit What am I supposed to do about that? WHY don't you tell somebody who gives a shit Life's a bitch Gee, that's too bad How's that workin' for ya? And this affects me how? I am simply NOT interested!
You can also laugh at them if you want to.
Seriously people - maybe It's time to take egos out of the equation - The people we are dealing with usually don't even know that we are in the room. It is just so NOT about US! So the sooner we can acknowledge this and learn to deal on the offensive rather than the defensive, we can all achieve a far better mental and emotional state!

Totally agree. Here's one that will totally piss off any immature narcissist. "I'm no longer going to be in the middle of your issue with ******. You'll have to talk to them."
I've also found some solace in reversing the one that was used toward me for so many years, "I'm sorry YOU feel that way." as a form of apology. BTW, that is not a freaking apology at all. But I've found it really useful in dealing with irate EC.

cautious1, I resemble that comment! Being a 'mature' lady in the south I do say 'Well, Bless your heart!' but most of us are really saying 'F**k Off' or 'F**K You' in our mind! Hope I didn't offend anyone, but you don't want to mess with a southern lady or a mother that's been estranged from her entitled, spoiled children. Wow,,,,did I vent and it felt GOOD!!! ' '
