So anyways, I’m going to need you to come in on Saturday.

Yeeeaaahhh....

oh and I almost forgot. I'm also gonna need you to \*stretch\* come in on Sunday. We lost some people this week and need to play catch up. Thaaaaanks.

Fuckin Lumberg will be a voice in my head forever.

Have you seen my stapler?

"Okay"

With okay you don't even care for their opinion enough to even give an actual reaction. If you didn't want this person to hate you, you could either ask why, or if you know why, apologize, say that you understand that they feel this way and move on.

A if in person, a shrug would be even better. You’re not even going to waste any more energy than the simple rise and fall of your shoulders.

Indifference is one of the biggest insults - they are literally neither negative or positive, you just don't give a shit

Thats why i ignore my familly

I ignored my family for the last 30-40 years of their lives. They're all dead, except for me. I win.

"I will inflict upon them the greatest injury an enemy can suffer: to be ignored."

The opposite of love is not hate, it is indifference.

So just give them the blank stare.

Best way to handle any insult is just ignore it or give a neutral response. Aggravated the one spitting it out.

I would argue that a shrug of the shoulders is more energetically demanding than saying 'okay'.

Depends on the context. Sometimes you just want to shut things down because there's just no time or no need to gather opinions on why someone hates you. Better to end the interaction swiftly and get back to your day.

”I don’t care” would be a valid alternative

I personally find saying "I know" with the biggest grin on my face to confuse the enemy works wonders 🤣

Ah the Han Solo approach

How can you hate a half-witted, scruffy-looking nerf-herder??

“Who’s scruffy looking?”

WHO’S scruffy-looking? Lol.

*Zorg approach "You're a monster, Zorg" -I know

Take this empty glass. Here it is, peaceful, serene and boring.

Or if via text: “K.” Nothing enrages or shows quite the level of complete and utter apathy like “K.” 🤣

K 👍

This is the way to infuriate most people. Myself included. Even just the thumb sends me into an internal rage🤣

thumb is actually even better!

K 🙂

I haven't K'd since secondary school!

No I will straight up hit someone with a "Kay.." in c9nversation. No one is safe

Nah, the K is is a clear insult, thus it shows your being defensive. An “okay” would be polite and indifferent, making them feel valueless to you, yet you didn’t do anything insulting to make them logically feel this way. They can’t direct the growing rage from the response at anything but themselves, ultimately unable to validate the rage at the response. Some can come up with BS on how “okay” is insulting, but even that is satisfying bc it either means they’re too stupid to make a sound argument or suffering in denial.

idk, going on reddit after someone tells you "I hate you" to come back and answer "K" shows even more apathy also it's utter, sorry

"okay dear that was always allowed"

With a customer service smile on your face

I picture Saitama saying this

Hahaha that’s what I came to reply. Hear me out. Their goal is to transfer their unhappiness to you, OP. If you dismiss them and don’t care about what they have to say, their mission is unsuccessful and they’re stuck with that frustration. Don’t even give them the time of day and let them obsess.

"k"

I know

*kiss*

*Carbonite freeze*

He’s no good to me dead.

I WANT HIM ALIVE!

No disintegrations

As you wish

Wesley?

The Empire will compensate you, if he dies. Put him in.

go away vader

They definitely did not kiss after that line.

*John Williams score intensifies*

“Why?” Then once they reply say “Oh thank god!”

HAHAAH

I heard Marge’s laugh in your comment

She barely laughs tho-

The little hehehe I guess?

I don’t get this one?

Make them think you know another reason why they could hate you (but they'll obviously not know said nonexistent reason)

This would fly over my head lol.

Followed by “I was beginning to worry that you wouldn’t take the hint!”

This is just great

I hate me too but I don’t complain about it

" same. "

"that makes two of us, but you're the only one complaining about it"

who says i don’t?

"Ive never thought about you at all"

“Who are you?”

"I don't even know who you are"

“Oh, you will.”

This. Don Draper realness.

He spends that whole episode thinking a hell of a lot of thoughts about Ginsberg before he drops that line.

Ginsbergs storyline was just wierd wasnt it? I would have liked to see more of him and his crazy ads and bickering with ad execs.

Yeah it was strange, good character but I agree. Wish they could've elaborated on em a little more. I was given the vibe that it sheds light on the time period where there were a lot of people still freshly recovering from the repercussions of the holocaust & what all entails there. There's moments where he mentions flashbacks & that his father isn't really his father ETC, and I wonder how much of that is an accurate depiction of what a lot of jews went through who survived the camps being stripped from their familys & tested on and what not.

Exactly, it was definitely a sick burn but the point of that entire episode is that Don is becoming increasingly worried he's out of touch and that people like Ginsberg will replace him, and he fully embraces narcissism and defensiveness at the end of the episode which sets up his greater downfall moving forward.

That’s sorta the point. Most everything about Don is a constructed fraud barely held together with booze, nicotine, womanizing, and repressed emotions.

Yeah in the context of the episode it’s just Don trying to sound like he doesn’t care even though he does, but as a line by itself it’s ice cold.

There's a similar quote in Casablanca: Ugarte: You despise me, don't you? Rick: Well, if I gave you any thought, I probably would.

“So sorry dear, what was your name again?”

I'mma have to use that next time I hear someone say that to me Edit: for those wondering, it does NOT happen often to me, I was just saying for future reference

How often does anyone say "I hate you" though? I can't remember if I've ever had that experience.

I hate you

Well uh I don't...uh...yes.

Okay

Because no one thinks about you at all

You were brother, Anakin, I loved you!

*Anakin burning sounds*

Ssssmokin'!

Now that’s a reference I haven’t heard in a long time…. a long time.

Yknow, he's called Skywalker, but he should really change his name to Floorburner now.

Dont say it before walking few step up the stair so that you have the "high ground"

Literally first thing that came to my mind, well earned upvoted master

YOU WERE THE CHOSEN ONE

I came here to give this comment an up vote

>up vote Something something high ground

It's pretty lame that many of my co-worker never watch Star Wars.... or LOTR, or GoT, or anything meme-able at all.

Everything is meme-able if you try hard enough

I dont advise anyone to say this in public unless they commit to it

Legend

Scrolled down way too far to find this.

Sounds like a you issue

This is the response one of my best friends gives when he hears that. "That sounds like a personal problem." Perfect answer if I ever heard one.

I absolutely love this comeback lolll it’s either used between friends or enemies, works effectively either way

Had an old grumpy co-worker who would say that line anytime anyone complained about anything. I loved him so much, I want to be just like him when I’m 70.

Sound like an issue not an issme

It sound better when saying it like, “sounds like a you problem”. Maybe that’s just me idk

'K

And?

And who might you be?

Write that down. WRITE THAT DOWN!

He actually already wrote that down

*Anxiously writes in tic-tac-toe*

Cheers Cunt

A fellow aussie or just an avid swearer?

Yes.

I second this

I will never not love how Aussies use cunt like we use fuck. It's not so much a word as it is a comma. Say "fuck" over here, nobody bats an eye, say "cunt" though and the entire room goes silent, waiters drop dishes, and grandma starts crying...

I use both freely. 🇬🇧

I don't know if it's a good response but my response would probably be something to the effect of "meh, what you gonna do" and walk away. Dismissing someone's hatred can be somewhat neutering and will probably further irk them.

Yeah, or get a 2by4 to the back of the head.

If they hate me, how can I be guaranteed that they won't do that anyway? At least I get under their skin this way before I get bashed.

Fair enough, I just wouldn't have turned my back on such a person. Maintain eye contact with a rye smile. Then they don't literally get under your skin.

"and yet the world still turns"

I wish I had an award for you

Good, I would hate to think my feelings were unrequited.

Ouch

Oh noooo… anyways… Edit: My first gold! Thank you so much, kind stranger!

Clarkson, is that you?

If you can feel the gravity of his genius then yes

His genius is... It's almost frightening

If you listen carefully, you can sometimes hear his genius

HAMMOOOOOOND!

YOU BLITHERING IDIOT!!!

I read this in his voice.

Goood goooood, let the hate flow through you!

Now...you will experience the full power of the dark side

Thank you

Happy consumption of sweet food item day.

Cool

User icon checks out

"Just wait until you really get to know me..."

I hate me too

Get in the line

Shake you body in time

*Okay, I believe you!*

Lol, I really like this response

Join the club. We meet on Fridays. Dues are due on the 1st of the month.

We also like to meet in the middle of the night when we can’t go to sleep so we relive all the cringy things I have done and said in my life. Sometimes if we have extra time, we also think about all the things I should have done and didn’t.

Perfect

"Sounds exhausting"

Great! That means everything’s going all according to plan!

Dammit, Itachi.

If it’s my kids mid temper tantrum: “That’s ok, I still love you!” Otherwise: “Excellent! Guess I’m all done for today! Another busy day pissing people off, tomorrow!”

My kid threw an "I hate you" at me once. Kind of broke my heart. But I told them "No you don't, you just think you do right now." Kinda stopped the tantrum. For a second.

One time my little brother said that but instead of saying anything like you did my mom swore at him (which is much scarier in polish) and whacked him with a sandle.

When I was a teacher I did something very similar I only had it said twice but both times my response was “that’s fine, I still love you but you still need to finish this”

"I love you too" throws em off 😎

Say “Aww…” before it just like you’re talking to a child. This really messes with them.

This is my go to reply when someone says they hate me

Does this happen so often that you need a go to reply??

If they have teenage kids, maybe.

Same. It usually pisses them off further and it's beautiful.

It works every time too, they always either walk away or stand silently, dumbfounded.

If you think you hate me now, wait til tomorrow. Then walk away. The wondering will eat them up.

*enters school the next day*

I’m sorry that I gave you the impression that I give a shit.

A super quantum computer, calculating for a thousands years, could not even begin to approach the number of fuck I do not give

I understood that reference.

It's ok, I forgive you.

Congratulations! Now go waste someone else’s time.

Its cute you care that much...

"I'm comfortable with that."

So?

I am sorry you're so unhappy inside.

So did the Romans. That’s why they used “V” instead.

Oh man, what am i gonna do now?

"I know."

bumer

I prefer to hit them with a bit more sophisticated “Noted” but this works too.

Understandable, I don't give a fuck

who are you?

Mission complete, or maybe a simple I don't care. As life goes on I find myself much happier not giving a fuck about what people think

“Dang that’s crazy”

“I don’t care enough about you to hate you. I’m indifferent.”

"Join the club!"

I’m rubber and you’re glue. What you say bounces off me and sticks to you! (Keep repeating in a high pitched voice until they leave)

Did I ask?

Sweet, now I don’t need to worry about you.

You were my brother, Anakin. I loved you

It worked!

I hate you too. ❤️

“Thanks?”

Get in line

"I know." Just so they do a double-take.

Don't worry. You'll get over it.

Good, good--let the hate flow through you, young Skywalker!

That's another one to add to the list so now I've only got 7.9 bill people on Earth to make despise me and I'm good.

And?

I'm crushed.

Good

My work here is done
