I always wish I could have good comebacks to people that say rude, mean, judgmental or obnoxious comments. I think of something too late. I miss that moment of opportunity.
One time I remember, My sister was getting married. I and my other sister was in her bridal party. The groom's sister was also in the bridal party and a sister in law on the groom's side and a few others. We get to the reception and the bridal party of just the girls were in the lobby just hanging out and someone that worked there( I think he owned the place) looked at all of us for a moment or two and pointed out this one girl and said loudly "You're the prettiest one here"
She was gushing, Oh golly me. While the rest of us just looked at each other and it was complete silence.
No one said anything. What I thought of later that I wish I had said in that awkward silence " and you are the RUDEST JERK here!"
I always think of the comebacks in time to say them. It doesn't make life any easier and it doesn't enhance my reputation as a polite, kind person. You're probably better off ignoring the rude people and moving on.

Exactly!
OP, why reduce yourself to their level?
Ignore and move on are the best things you can do.

I had a cashier at the market say... Wow you're so much prettier without your glasses... I said you're much prettier without my glasses too.
So basically you insulted the cashier (who actually was saying you were pretty all natural and 100% you) because she paid you a high compliment?!? Yeah, I'll never get women.

totally agree with this. All it would do is prove you could be just as snarky as them.

She tried to give you a compliment. Everything doesn't always come out the way people mean it.
She didn't have any business "commenting" on my looks especially in front of other customers. Like her opinion should make a difference to me? Moderator cut: delete
