~SAY AT YOUR OWN RISKS~
If someone says get a life. Say- Like yours? Nah, pass.
If someone rolls their eyes say- Keep rolling those eyes and maybe you'll find a brain back there.
If someone says you're so dumb. Say- oh well... once you know everything you should know when to shut up
If someone says did I ask? Say- Then why are you still listening.
If someone says you're fat say- at least I can lose weight but you cant lose your ugly face.
If someone says im hotter than you guys say- sure, you dont need makeup... You need plastic surgery
if someone says I dont like you say- that's a shame cause my middle finger seems to like you
if someone says no one would ever date you say- tell your boyfriend that- then wink and walk away.
if someone says I know a lot of stuff about you say- is your a$$ jealous of the $h!t coming out of your mouth?
HAVE fun! But also be aware that these might make things worse... :)

When someone calls me a name, I correct them by saying they mispronounced a word or misspelled it (if it’s via text or email) and provide them with a more appropriate adjective that describes me.
Guy I know (via text): Women are so dramatic! 🙄
Me: You misspelled “determined.” 😂
My best friend (said in jest): You’re such an idiot! 😂
Me: You pronounced “intellectual” as “idiot.” You should really learn correct English pronunciations. 😂 “I’m such an intellectual.”

3) Somewhere out there, there’s a tree working very hard to produce oxygen so that you can breathe. I think you should go and apologize to it.

Sorry Bob, this is or rather was a situation that is somewhat different than a usual case of sexual harassment. I was a woman automobile repair technician, a mechanic. When a woman breaks into a male dominated work field a whole different set of rules applied. There was no way in the world I was going to go to HR with that. I always fought (and won) my own battles. To go to my boss, his boss, HR, whoever and complain about it would have been a death sentence for me. Every day was a battle for me, I always, ALWAYS had to bring my A game to work, I could never rest on my laurels so to speak, I could never show a sign of weakness, I could never whine or whimper about my back hurting or the ouie I got on my little finger. I was working with some hard core, hard working men doing a hard job. If I couldn't be as hard as them, if I couldn't work as hard as them, if I could not fight my own battles and win I would no be respected nor tolerated in the shop. 40 years, I always won!

My favorite comes from "Miss Manners' Guide to Excruciatingly Correct Behavior." I read this in the 80s, when it wasn't exactly an enlightened time for the LGBTQ community, so I found her comeback profound and instructive, if rather unexpected.

Get someone else’s life — yours isn’t working . . . . . . . . . What goes around comes around. Looks like you’re on the down side of karma . . . . . . . . . A beautiful woman will only be pretty for a few years. I’ll be smart and sassy all my life . . . . . . . . . One of my best: An out-of-control child was bothering everyone waiting for a table. When the kid got to me, I looked down and said “Go stand by your mother. Not everyone likes children.” Kid went to mom. Mom says, “Bitch.” Suddenly I felt like Cyrano de Bergerac, “Is bitch the best you can do? I’ve been a bitch lots of times. Once more won’t change anything.” . . . . . . . . . . . And for adults . . . . . . . . One of my few times at a bar, I saw man striking out with women. When he got to me he said I wasn’t what he was looking for. My comeback was an old joke I heard a long time ago: “I may not be much to look at but I can suck start a Harley. Shame you’re never gonna know what that feels like.” His mouth hung open as I strolled away . . .

When a random person finds a typo in my work and they write to say how stupid they think i am, if im in the mood i'll fire back:
"Glad i could make your day. It's all down hill from here, better go back to bed. Lol"
People who regulary get joy from others' mistakes are sad and powerless. They aren't worth anything more than my dismissal - and that's only if they catch me at the rare moment where i have so little to do, I'll piss away a couple of seconds on a troll. If they reply - which is rare - i dont read it, i dont respond. Ive gotten out of this situation all i could possibly want. We're done here (which is another great comeback - outright refusing to engage in someone's bs and saying it right to their faces *chef's kiss*)
TL;DR Be Beyonce. Dont stoop to their level - make sure they know you have dismissed them or simply never engage - and living well is the best revenge.
PS.
I also enjoy in a pro setting when some angry guy swears at me - "you cannot talk to me like that. This conversation is over until you can calm down and act like an adult" (hangs up, walks out)
Sorry so long, there are a lot of randos out there who like to crap on creatives - it comes with the gig
