I have a list right here when I was only 7

Your secrets are always safe with me. I never even listen when you tell me them.
You bring everyone so much joy when you leave the room.
Someday youā€™ll go far. I hope you stay there.
The people who tolerate you on a daily basis are the real heroes.

As a teen, a bunch of us were hanging out. I had just got my eyebrow pierced. (I don't have it anymore lol) Some friend of a friend looked at me (I'm a female he was male) and said, I have my d**k pierced. As if that was to make me go all swoony on him. I just said mmhmm. He went on to say "Yea you should hear the bitches moan... you know ribbed for her pleasure." (or some retarded ass thing along those lines.) I said, "Bro, if you have to have your d**k pierced to pleasure a woman, you weren't doing it right in the first place."

I don't think I've ever delivered a roast, but this always sticks in my mind:
Barman: "Are you a fighting man?"
Me: ā€œNo...why?ā€
Barman: ā€œWell, you didnā€™t get a face like that by smilingā€
I was both deeply embarrassed and so amused, I think I just laughed

A buddy and I were slowly driving by an Arby's and I pointed to it saying we should stop for lunch. There happened to be two girls sitting out front (one snobby popular looking type, one frumpy bookish type), and the snobby one thought we were checking her out an yelled. "What the hell are you looking at?" In a moment of inspiration I yelled back, "Your friend!" The car was moving so I never got to see their reactions, but I know in my heart that it was priceless.

I said to a boyfriend once being a smart ass ā€œwhat are you looking at?ā€ He answered ā€œI donā€™t know crap doesnā€™t come with labelsā€. We both have very dark senses of humour and I knew it was a joke. He also had older brothers and was the stock standard response to them.

This girl in my art class was talking to her friend, she was being so loud and annoying. Nobody wanted to hear about her life, and even the teacher looked ready to punch her. After many people had asked her to be quieter or stop, I had finally had enough. I grabbed some scissors, and handed them to her, and said "Here are some scissors Mellisa*, because you need to cut it out". She shut up after that. : )
Not really a roast, but I felt pretty powerful. I was also a really petty and passive aggressive child when I was younger.
* Name was changed for person's privacy

Here are a couple Iā€™ve used:
Girl in my class: Youā€™re so unapproachable. You always listen to music and never talk to anyone.
Me: And yet, here you are.
In second grade:
Guy: I have a crush on you.
Me: It will go away.
Lastly in middle school:
Guy who I had a project with (who btw was an annoying bitch who would always try to get my answers even though he could do the work): I donā€™t know, give me your answers
Me: Sweetie, Iā€™m gonna need you to put those few remaining brain cells together and work with me here, ok?

Person: Omg you dress like a little girl and I dress like a teenager.

I prefer cold roast, i'm very polite. There was a chemical fire in my town and i was at a public meeting about it. I knew that the firefighters were not wearing the proper devices for that kind of fire. I asked the governor about it after the meeting. He told me "oh you are a firefighter wife!?", i just told him, smiling, "no sir, i'm just a scientist". Meaning "you are such a misogynistic a...hole" but in a very polite way. He got it.

ok so, I have a ton of them, but they all follow one strategy. the strategy is, basically turing it against them or using it to paint them in a bad light and you in a good one. eg: person: you suck at school so much, your worse than my dog at it! you: at least i have some skill in it, unlike you. or, if someone just calls you a name and their cronies laugh about it, just say: at least I'm something/someone

In primary school I was the nerd, the high performer, average looking. My "nemesis" was the prettiest girl in school (we were classmates). I went on to a great high school then university, she became a beauty queen and beautician. When both 19, we were preparing for the school leaving balls, we were at our hairdresser at the same time (did not meet until then). She looked immaculate. She finished first, I still sat at the chair. She bent forward and touched my knees and with a condescending voice said: "Well, be pretty" and she winked. And I replied "YOU should be pretty" she flashed her best beauty queen smile and turned. Then I casually added: "I am smart already". She looked back and her face fell and then I dropped my best attempt at a beauty queen smile. It worked.

One time someone told me that my artwork and stories weren't useful and told me that I should kill myself. I basically ignored this person but couldn't resist saying this: "If I wanted to kill myself, I would climb up to the top of your ego and jump down to your IQ." I don't think I've ever been more proud of a roast.

Also, recently, one of my friends was telling me about how he wanted to ask out this girl but was scared to. At the same time, he was terrified that he would miss out on meeting the love of his life. I got super uncomfortable and just stuttered out, "How much Twilight have you been reading?"

Maybe not a roast, but it felt good all the same. If anyone has made lasagna, you know it takes a long time.

At dinner, my older brother complained it was "cold". I slammed my hand down on his plate of lasagna saying, "NO, IT ISN'T"!

Had a scam company calling me up to 6 times a day over months to tell me I have to pay for prize games I signed in for (which I certainly didn't). The call that ended it:

"If you call me one more time, I personally get down south to you and leave a mess for CSI in your office that will make a Dolcett comic look like a MLP colouring book in comparison". (Imagine a Liam Neelson "Taken" tone with that)

"Sir you know that this is a threat, right?"

"What you gonna do, call the police?". And magically there was this beautiful silence

Saturday noon at a supermarket. A sportscar used 2 parkinglots while the place was overloaded anyway. When I disinfected my hands at the entrance a woman came with her soppingcard and pushed me aside without a word.
I smiled at her: "Is that BMW right in front of the door yours?"
"Oh, yes!" She smiled radiantly. "How do you know?"
"Because the manner of you parking meets your behavior here"

Sadly I didnā€™t even feel as well as I thought I would after this.

And in addition to some of the posts here: Thereā€™s a difference between "roasting" somebody and offending them. Just saying.

I was missing my anniversary on Valentines day in order to attend a business dinner at my first executive job. We were all meeting up at the restaurant and I was a bit early. I sat out front on the patio waiting for my group when an obviously drunken man and his date came swaggering by and he decided he would be a show off to his "gal" and say to me..."Give it up girl, he's not coming. You've been stood up!" I was a bit pissed but managed to stand and say... "I know, right. I should have gone with a professional like you did." He thought it was hilarious, his wife however nearly whipped my a*s.

Two years ago I was in the locker room changing and a kid from my class started bragging that his team beat this other, older kids team. The older kid exploded because the first kid let his team carry him, and started raging "I SCORED FOUR TIMES THE POINTS YOU SCORED! HOW MANY POINTS DID YOU SCORE! ZERO!!" and then everybody was quiet and kind of in shock cause the bigger kid was heckin' loud but as he was walking away I reached out and tapped him on the shoulder to let him know that 4 times 0 is still 0.

I get reminded of that probably five times a month LOL

Long time ago. (51yrs). I never considered myself a popular girl. And if a popular boy wanted anything to do with me it was probably to make me the brunt of a joke.
So I'm 13, in class and we were just sitting around chatting. Suddenly someone says to me, hey, D, so and so wants you. Without missing a beat I turn around and loudly say
"Well I don't want him!"
And turn back around to my friends. Whole class gasped.

I often blurt things out without thinking them through. Even more so than i was younger. Back in my student years, i was taking a bus. Since it was very crowded, i slowly made my way to the exit before it reached my stop. I was standing right next to the door when this really old woman came along, trying to push me aside really hard. At first i did not pay any attention to her. It's not like any of us would get out while the bus was moving. But she kept pushing and hitting me with her elbow so i blurted "Why do you keep pushing people? Are you running late for your funeral?" and then just ignored angry rant about disrespecting elders.

There is this annoying and slightly mean boy that goes to my school. I told him he'd probably survive the zombie apocalypse, because zombies are looking for brains. Everytime I see him he says he wouldn't survive.

Also, (this wasn't just me) my choir teacher was asking who's names he messed up after he took attendance, and a few people raised their hands (including me). Then he asked who wished he was smarter than he was. About two thirds of the class raised their hands(including me).
