The majority of us have encountered many bullies during our childhood – however, people like to hope that bullying stops as soon as we step foot into adulthood. Yet nothing really changes, apart from our newly found tendencies of brushing things off and perceiving them as minor inconveniences. 

Regardless, it is true to some extent, as we don't normally assume that our controlling boss is a bully or that our patronizing family member is one as well. Though let's face it, our society is full of unpleasant people, and sometimes all you can do is let a person know that they're being an idiot. 

Well, an online user decided to help all of us out and ask Redditors to list some of the best insults they like to use, and nearly 7K people got involved in this exceedingly handy thread. The question itself received almost 20K upvotes and delivered some imaginative answers that will probably allow you to humble a person or two.

    30 Of The Most Hilarious Ways People Subtly Offend Others, As Shared In This Online Group I kept having to go back to a hardware store because I kept buying the wrong part for my project. The old man at the register who’d previously checked me out said, your twin brother was in here earlier and he didn’t know what he was doing either.

    30 Of The Most Hilarious Ways People Subtly Offend Others, As Shared In This Online Group I was playing video games and had a teammate who wasn’t really playing together with me so I had tried to get him to re-group. Admittedly, I did not speak in the most polite way possible but he stopped and wrote “your voice does not inspire leadership”, and then he left the game.

    The one and only time I was actually offended by someone’s words over a video game.

    30 Of The Most Hilarious Ways People Subtly Offend Others, As Shared In This Online Group One time I watched this girl flirting with this guy at a bar in New York. He had been talking about his cool job and how great he was and she just fawned over him. At one point he took a break from talking and she asked him for a cigarette. Without missing a beat he said "ew, how middle class..."

    She was mortified and he instantly stopped talking to her and moved on to her friend.
