Re: "Polite" responses to obnoxious people

[(Anonymous)]

Laugh like they told a joke, and say "oh, you're so *funny*"

Or do *long blank stare* (blinking optional) until it makes them super uncomfortable.

You could also remind yourself that their little backhanded compliment/thinly veiled insult says more about them than it does about you. Could you imagine being someone who has that much nastiness inside themselves?

Oh please don't do this if you can help it. This has always been my default for dealing with people making of or insulting me and it always makes me feel so bad. Once you make a habit of laughing off insults, people don't think twice about continuing to make you a target because, on the surface, you take their jabs with good humor and they can pretend you guys are just joking around even when they are purposely being mean and you're actually hurting on the inside. I used to laugh off getting punched in the face or get threatened with other bodily harm and I'm still mad at myself for it. I still take shit with a smile because it's easier, but it doesn't ever actually help things and I don't think it's a good way to deal with someone insulting you.

Well, I don't recommend it if you're sensitive to that kind of treatment.

But physical abuse is a whole different ballgame, and clearly not something to treat like a joke.

I'm sorry people were such assholes to you.

I don't think they mean a genuine laugh, but more sarcastic... I don't know how I can say what I'm imagining, because it really has to do with the tone of voice.

It's less "laughing it off," and more dismissive, I think.

Passive-aggressive, then. Not a good tack to take.

I find it suitable.

Then again, I'm assuming OP isn't looking for a permanent solution to the problem, or trying to get the offending person to do some serious soul searching. They just want to ruin that person's fun in the moment.

Re: "Polite" responses to obnoxious people

[(Anonymous)]

honestly, laughing at people like that is a way of dismissing their behaviour as "just a joke"

and then they'll continue to do it, like the commenter downthread said

IMO if they're going to make shitty comments about people, then they need to own the consequences of their actions

Re: "Polite" responses to obnoxious people

OP isn't looking to get someone to *stop* being an asshole, though. They just want some amusing comebacks/responses to assholish behavior.

And really, you can't make someone stop their offending behavior. You can speak your piece about how you find it offensive, and then walk away when they start up again. Better yet, just don't hang out with someone like that if at all possible.
