12 People Falling Victim To Clever Comebacks

Often, the perfect thing to say in reply to someone who鈥檚 just insulted, belittled or demeaned you will only come to you much later. You might already be in bed, hours after the offending incident, when it jumps into your mind in all its wonderful glory. Or, perhaps, it could be days later, when the person who said the mean thing is far from your memory.

It鈥檚 all well and good to think of clever comebacks, but wouldn鈥檛 you prefer to be prepared when the opportunity strikes and the moment is right? Rehearse some clever comebacks with these compelling examples from Reddit's r/clevercomebacks of people being snarky in replies and saying the exact right thing at the exact right time. Next time you need to clapback, you will have exactly the right words.

Strongly doubt that anybody would want to confide anything in Mike Pompeo, or that CIA agents of all people would. He is a bean.
