13 Comebacks When Walking Away Isn't An Option

Do you know that moment when someone irritates you so much you can't be the bigger person? These comebacks are for you.

We are living in a day and age when being sassy is fun and praised, but most of us aren't that quick with comebacks. Here are some of my favorite comebacks for any occasion! Keep these stored in your head and use them when necessary my young Padawan and godspeed.

1. "You sour melon"

Not only are you calling them a fruit, it is a less known and liked fruit, and IT'S SOUR. Its not even a good version of the lesser known fruit!

2. "Do I know you?"

This one has to be done immediately, like the second they open their mouth, "I'm sorry do I know you?" You need to be sincere, just really pull together all your acting skills, and say it like you genuinely have never met them before in your life.

3. Call them a fat Kelly Price.

Beware this could get you catfished for three years by your cousin.

4. "You must be confused, I'm a person not a mirror."

This one is best for personal insults, like if they came for your appearance or your life. Feel free to add onto this by dragging them into next weekend.

5. "Does that make you feel like a man now?"

This one can definitely be used on any gender, sex, preference, or whateva. Because it implies they were never a man, nor were they even a good one, like Captain America.

6. "Are you OK? Did you strain yourself?"

This is best if someone comes for you with a mediocre insult. Like you can tell they were just trying to hurt you and it wasn't really a thought out insult. Push it one step further by looking up the nearest psychiatrist and recommend it to the person.

7. "Who hurt you?"

With this you can find out who hurt them and made them a bully and it also shows that you know they're messed up and there's nothing they can do about it.

8. "I know you are, but what am I?"

Coined by someone that probably isn't Bart Simpson, this is the oldest line in the book, you can't go wrong with it.

9. "That's not nice?"

I don't know why but this one really works to make people reevaluate themselves, which is always fun.

10. "I don't get paid enough for this."

"No, seriously, I get paid $8.25 a hour. This isn't worth it to me."

11. "I'm sorry for you."

If they are trying to pick a fight with you, shame them. Make them regret it. Your comebacks are too good for anyone to try you and get away with it.

12. Give them the look.

Practice this one in the mirror. I prefer to first roll my eyes and then scowl in disgust, it really shows how much you dislike them and the words coming out of their butt mouth. This is best paired with a dramatic hair flip as you walk away.

13. When all else fails be nice!

Kill them with kindness. Maybe add a little passive aggression to make it fun ;)

New year, new semester, not the same old thing. This semester will be a semester to redeem all the mistakes made in the previous five months.

1. I will wake up (sorta) on time for class.

Let's face it, last semester you woke up with enough time to brush your teeth and get to class and even then you were about 10 minutes late and rollin' in with some pretty unfortunate bed head. This semester we will set our alarms, wake up with time to get ready, and get to class on time!

And so it begins.

1. Walk in motivated and ready to rock

Camping out at the library is not for the faint of heart. You need to go in as a warrior. You usually have brought supplies (laptop, chargers, and textbooks) and sustenance (water, snacks, and blanket/sweatpants) since the battle will be for an undetermined length of time. Perhaps it is one assignment or perhaps it's four. You are motivated and prepared; you don’t doubt the assignment(s) will take time, but you know it couldn’t be that long.

December... it's full of finals, due dates, Mariah Carey, and the holidays. It's the worst time of the year, but the best because after finals, you get to not think about classes for a month and catch up on all the sleep you lost throughout the semester. But what's worse than finals week is the last week of classes, when all the due dates you've put off can no longer be put off anymore.

Thanksgiving break is over and Christmas is just around the corner and that means, for most college students, one hellish thing — finals week. It's the one time of year in which the library becomes over populated and mental breakdowns are most frequent. There is no way to avoid it or a cure for the pain that it brings. All we can do is hunker down with our books, order some Dominos, and pray that it will all be over soon. Luckily, we are not alone in this suffering. To prove it, here are just a few of the many deranged thoughts that go through a college student's mind during finals week.

I know every college student has daily thoughts throughout their day. Whether you're walking on campus or attending class, we always have thoughts running a mile a minute through our heads. We may be wondering why we even showed up to class because we'd rather be sleeping, or when the professor announces that we have a test and you have an immediate panic attack.
