3 comebacks to use when someone is rude to you, part 1

-Was that meant to embarrass or insult me?

You’re calling them out for what it is, they’ll either backtrack what they were saying or apologize.

-Tell them there’s something in their teeth.

They’ll close their mouth immediately and stop talking. You can then excuse yourself if you wanted to end the conversation abruptly.

-That was an interesting thing to say outloud.

You’re offering a sarcastic explanation for what they just said to you, making them less likely to continue being rude to you.
