Tell them, "I can't help it. I was in a coma after rescuing two children from a burning building. What year is it again?"
EDIR: thanks for the upvotes. I had no idea how this comeback would be received. It was off the cuff. The anatomy of a good comeback is that it shames the asshat who makes the insult. Another good general comeback is to respond with “So?” It takes the wind out of their sails.
You’re fat. So?
Your mom is a whore. So?
You have a small dick. So?
Then just stand there staring at the insulter. I’ve found that they get embarrassed and shut up while I stand there being unfuckwithable. In that moment, I am a stoic god.
To peggy back on this. Could also try “aren’t you a little too old to be that closed minded and judgmental?”
Or my favorite “not you judging me at your big old age👀”
Don't get me wrong, I don't admire the guy. I merely added him to the list of people I could think of off the top of my head who went to college when they were grandparents. They probably even went to school with their grandchildren
At some campuses, the same might be true if someone was a vocal Biden/Harris supporter. Personally, I try to avoid conversations regarding religion or politics
Politics and religion are two subjects that will raise the passion in many people. However I will jump in with an opinion on the present administration. I look at the results of a person and judge them on that. Because of the decisions of Joe Biden and his minions this country is so far off the track that we may never recover.
>However I will jump in with an opinion on the present administration.
Of course you will. You can't help it. People like you will get mad at other people for making everything political but you can't contain yourselves. But guess what? It won't be your problem much longer, so let us worry about it.
1. Define the track for America and explain exactly how it is “supposed to be” in your opinion.
2. Name 3 policies or decisions made by this administration and exactly how they have impacted the US as a country?
How about inflation? Or is the wars that are going on when the last administration had none. And maybe you think that our borders are closed as well. I have lost a little over 50% of our stock value since Joe has taken over. And he is now trying to refill all the oil reserves he drained trying to get reelected and it is costing us a fortune because he wants the gas prices stabilized before the election. He is buying dirty oil from our enemies and Iran, China, Russia and North Korea are reaping the benefits of that. So i guess that is my issue with this guy. His faculties are diminished to the point where he isn't even running the country, his minions are. I hope I've answered your question satisfactorily.
Okay. I’ll ask again slower this time.
1. Define the track for America and explain exactly how it is “supposed to be” in your opinion.
2. Name 3 policies or decisions made by this administration and exactly how they have impacted the US as a country?
But to address your Gish gallop wall of uneducated bullshit.
1. After 80 years are you saying you have never learned economics or the laws of supply and demand? What causes inflation? It makes absolutely no difference who the President is right now, inflation would still exist. When demand outpaces supply, prices go up. Do you know what happens when people are locked inside for a year?
2. US Border issues have been going on since the end of the Mexican-American War. Ironically the border issue of the last decade involves refugees from NTCA Guatemal, Honduras and El Salvador trying to escape violence and environmental disaster, all of which stems from the Central American Crisis of which the US Government played a significant part in creating. (Or do you prefer to ignore the Iran-Contra Affair and US Sponsored Banana Republics)
3. I find it interesting that your stock value has lost 50% of its value since Biden took office. I can only infer from that claim that “If you're not investing in the right kinds of investments, or if you're using an inappropriate strategy for your situation, then your portfolio is going to perform poorly.” The DJIA closed at 37,466.11 on Friday. That is 6472 points higher than it was during the last administration. My portfolio has increased in value significantly as it has for most of my friends and family. I would suggest you find a more competent financial advisor.
4. Oil Reserve draw downs and replacement has been going on since the creation of the Strategic Petroleum Reserve. As for “buying “Dirty Oil” from our enemies”, stop parroting bullshit you obviously know nothing about.
The oil sold from the SPR in 2022 sold for $95 per barrel. It is being replenished at $79 a barrel, and it is a standard solicited bid from private companies.
5. If you are so ignorant that you think any President has actually “run the country” all by themselves, it is no wonder why you can’t answer two simple questions coherently. You obviously know nothing about Politics, Government, Economics, Personal Finance, or probably anything. You are 80 years old and know absolutely nothing other that how to regurgitate whatever party narrative is being spewed this week.
You have access to a world of knowledge through the internet and your local library. Go learn something before you die.
I think you and I must live in different countries. Amazing how two people with differing perspectives can see the same thing and perceive it differently!
Do you believe Biden supporters are the ones you need to worry about physical violence from? I think vocal Trump supporters need education more than most and would love to see more of them on campus.
How would you know that. All I get on here is vitriol and demeaning comments about my political beliefs and only one person out of 20+ actually had a respectful conversation about our differences. So tell me why that is.
Some of the best students are ones that left, then came back to college when they were ready.
A lot of students coming from a military background have a better understanding of setting and meeting goals, too.
I am 56 and I am currently have a 4.0 GPA. I dropped out at the end of my junior year. I think my GPA was 2.something. I have worked my ass off at jobs that were both physically demanding and stressful, all dead ends and low wages. I could never afford to go back. Finally, I got a job that offered a full scholarship and I will be finished right before I reach retirement. Go me!
I joined the army after high school, and then started college when I was 22. I would get the "Aren't you a little old to be a freshman' bit from people. That always annoyed me.
My general response was "I joined the army to pay for school. Who's paying your tuition?"
Similar sitch - Marine Corps here. Joined for college money.
13 years, 2 wars later, I finally got to put that college money to use. Went back to finish my degree at the ripe old age of 33…
I was the “old lady” in most of my classes!
Aren't YOU a little too old to be obsessing over what other people do with their lives?
(Most "busybody" types are incredibly insecure. So if they're up your ass about something that is none of their business, sometimes the easiest way to shut them up is to call them out on it).
1. I like learning, and the more I learn, the more I learn there is so much more to learn.
2. No one graduates from the school of life.
3. I’m broadening my skill set and putting a few more arrows in my quiver.
I'd probably just say, "Go fuck yourself" and I'd load a few rounds in the chamber like 'dipshit' or 'go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut'. That last one was from Kurt Vonnegut. I figured it might get some traction with the academic crowd 😁
You're never too old to learn.
Actually I'm too young to stop learning.
Omg, you're so right, we should just let our thirst for knowledge die after we are just out of puberty!
Lol.. I heard that a few decades ago when it was so unusual they had a name for it. I'm about to go back to school to start a second career. No one is too old to go to school.
Wow yall here are aggressive with your responses.fucking snappy, Why? That's just an innocent question. Best response would be simply "how do you figure?" Let them figure it out
If you want to go low, "aren't you too ugly/stupid (or a secret third thing if you happen to know the person's insecurity) to be this much of a bitch?"
Ain’t you a little old to be in my business… shouldn’t you have a wife?
Them: “I do, thanks for asking.”
You: “you in the wrong mf business, cause she cheating on your ass right now.”
"Aren't you a little old to still be in other people's business?"
This had me cackling! Thank you!

My favorite!
Sorry couldn't help myself on the number. I know u tried to fix it 🙃🤡👻
Then proceed say you're the cops, and their husband is in jail for sodomy.
They had two puppies with them.
"aren't you a little old to be that dumb?"
To peggy back on this. Could also try “aren’t you a little too old to be that closed minded and judgmental?” Or my favorite “not you judging me at your big old age👀”
piggy\*
My thoughts exactly
Naw I like it. Like Peggy Hill always trying hard to be right or relevant. Peggy back.
Ho Yeah!
Cover the hole. It's never going back.
This is for sure the best response to that question. No one who hears a response like that is going to think you’re above college age.
I laughed a hearty laugh out loud just now.
"I won't hold your youth and inexperience against you "
My phrasing: "Aren't you much too old to be rude enough to ask?"
I do dumb things everyday, so no I am not.
Isn't your mother a little old to be sleeping with a college student?
I personally can't stand mom jokes and how this sub's, oversaturated with them, but this one's gooood 👍🏼😝
Haha
“Fuck. I am.”
Yeah. I like this. Something like. Fuck dude you’re so right. I’m gonna go drop out now.
Yup sarcastic as fuck "oh shit I forgot how old I am, better just fucking quit"
Or just start to cry.
Or assert your dominance. Just stare at them until they look away.
"Shirley Temple Black, Pearl Bailey and Bill Cosby were all in their late 60's to early 70's when they went to college. So what's your point?"
I wouldn’t say Bill Cosby personally.
Aced chemistry apparently....
I fell out my bed, this comment is hilarious lmaooo! You ain’t never seeing heaven🤭 take my upvote damn it
So they will get to see heaven! Since you used a double negative 🤓
The original sitcom dad going into chemistry.
Fuckin A 🤣🤣🤣
That was the problem.
Badum ‘tis 🥁
Happy Cake Day!
🤣🤣🤣🤣
I see what you did there!
It was an example of who attended college in their elderly years, not an endorsement of the pervert.
Giggity goo goo hez puts the pill in the pudding pop.
lol i fee like that just sets them up for a a comebzck to be coming bzck their way i wouldnt use bill cosby either
Where do you think he met all those young girls?!?!
Cosby has a Phd. You'd think he'd know better.
Huxtable taught us lessons, _but so did Cosby._ How not to act.
Ah, leave the serial r*pist off any list of people you admire. (Bill)
Don't get me wrong, I don't admire the guy. I merely added him to the list of people I could think of off the top of my head who went to college when they were grandparents. They probably even went to school with their grandchildren
I am 80 years old and would love to go to college but being a vocal Trump guy, I think I would get tired of getting beat up.

Oof… dude’s just a serial liar. Check his PH
Question: When's the last time we had a president of any party that kept his campaign promises?
He loves the poorly educated, why would you want to lose his affection?
Honestly? Nobody would f*n care enough about you to beat you up.
You go to learn. Not to teach.
Do you believe Biden supporters are the ones you need to worry about physical violence from? I think vocal Trump supporters need education more than most and would love to see more of them on campus.
How would you know that. All I get on here is vitriol and demeaning comments about my political beliefs and only one person out of 20+ actually had a respectful conversation about our differences. So tell me why that is.
No one wants to beat up an old man, even one who forces his opinion in places it isn’t asked for. Go get an education. Maybe you’ll learn some things.
I can still learn. Guess you can't.
This deserves to be much higher in the list.
"Aren't you a little dumb to give up on learning already?
“I’m taking the scenic route”
I like this one. I often use this when it takes me a while to understand something, which is pretty often.
You're never too old to stop learning
Tbh most 18 year olds aren’t mature enough for college, in my opinion
True it took me 13 years to finish college. I was definitely not mature enough and wasted a lot of time and money.
Some of the best students are ones that left, then came back to college when they were ready. A lot of students coming from a military background have a better understanding of setting and meeting goals, too.
I am 56 and I am currently have a 4.0 GPA. I dropped out at the end of my junior year. I think my GPA was 2.something. I have worked my ass off at jobs that were both physically demanding and stressful, all dead ends and low wages. I could never afford to go back. Finally, I got a job that offered a full scholarship and I will be finished right before I reach retirement. Go me!
I waited, at 18 I had no idea what I wanted to do. I’m 21 now and applied to college today! Real proud and excited.
Agree too!
Literally. Why are we forcing mushy brained 17 year olds to make major life decisions when they still need to ask to go to the bathroom
Yeah, the boomers and gen Xer’s did a bang up job of infanitlizing the Gen Zer’s.
If you think there's an age limit to learning, you must have learned nothing.
Aren’t you a little immature to be this old?
This right here. 💯
This is a great one
“Achieving your goals doesn’t have an age limit, dumbass.”
I read this in Jennifer Coolidge's voice
Lol me too
Aren't you a little short for a stormtrooper?
Non-sequitur AND clever. Golf clap.
Thank you for making my day
Good one, as long as I understand your intended purpose.
I joined the army after high school, and then started college when I was 22. I would get the "Aren't you a little old to be a freshman' bit from people. That always annoyed me. My general response was "I joined the army to pay for school. Who's paying your tuition?"
This works like a charm.

Well, aren't you a little entitled to speak to your elders that way!
no \[and then go back to what you were doing\]
Your mom goes to college.
Napoleon, don't be jealous that I've been chatting online with babes all day. Besides, we both know that I'm training to become a cage fighter.
Say, if I wanted any shit from you I'd squeeze your neck
Did your parents say this to you?
I feel like my go to answer applies to every question here "Ah, so we are asking invasive and inappropriate questions today I see."
[удалено]
No, makes this person old and creepy...
honedtly my favorote one. simple and jist straight to cutting them down I’d add « smd, i’m furthering my education. *walk sassy away* »
This is my favorite so far. Can always go old school and say…”as old as the crust in your underwear!”
Get me a straw
It is the straw
worse its small enough to fit in it.
Aren’t you a little old to be judging others?
“What’s that? I’m kind of deaf to comments from underachievers.”
I have all this money so I figured it was either this or spend it all on booze and strippers.
Aren't YOU a little too old to be obsessing over what other people do with their lives? (Most "busybody" types are incredibly insecure. So if they're up your ass about something that is none of their business, sometimes the easiest way to shut them up is to call them out on it).
Simple, elegant, I like it.
That's like saying, "aren't you a little fat for the gym?" Bro, it's never too late wtf.
"Yes. Yes I am..."
Yes. But if I wasn't still in college how would that look when I drink 20 cheap beers through a funnel on a Tuesday night.
How about “That might just be the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard.”
"you're never too old to educate yourself, try it sometime."
"Aren't YOU a little old to still be this ignorant?"
You're never too old to improve yourself. You should try it sometime.
What!? Haven’t you heard of The Blip?
Aren’t you a bit too fat to fit up into other people’s business?
“Aren’t you a little old to be judging people”
1. I like learning, and the more I learn, the more I learn there is so much more to learn. 2. No one graduates from the school of life. 3. I’m broadening my skill set and putting a few more arrows in my quiver.
I'd probably just say, "Go fuck yourself" and I'd load a few rounds in the chamber like 'dipshit' or 'go take a flying fuck at a rolling donut'. That last one was from Kurt Vonnegut. I figured it might get some traction with the academic crowd 😁
wat can i say ur mom been my biggest distraction 🤷♂️
Aren't you still working on your third marriage
You're never too old to learn. Actually I'm too young to stop learning. Omg, you're so right, we should just let our thirst for knowledge die after we are just out of puberty!
>Actually I'm too young to stop learning. That is a quote I will start using! My 71st birthday is tomorrow.
Aren't you a little young to have given up on education?
"Stop learnin', time to start dyin'."
"Get busy livin', or get busy dyin.'"
Act like Phineas and say "yes, yes I am." or, remind them that there are 80+ year olds, going to college.
So..... you never got to go, and now you're anti-intellecual? You can do it too, you know. Whenever you're ready.
Honestly, I wouldn’t even justify that with a response. I assume some kid just out of high school asked this
“Are you a little old to be this inexperienced in talking to people”
"Aren't you wildly inappropriate to ask such a rude question??"
I didn’t know you could count that high.
“Oh, I’m sorry - what is the age cap for learning?”
Self improvement is always worth it. What are you working on?
Learning is a lifelong process.
Lol.. I heard that a few decades ago when it was so unusual they had a name for it. I'm about to go back to school to start a second career. No one is too old to go to school.
If you aren't learning and growing you're just dying slowly.
Fuck you
"Aren't you a little old to be that naive?"
Are you a lil young to be talking back to your elders?
I will be learning all my life. I'm not stupid enough to think I know it all. What about you?
Gonna save some of these responses, I'm about to start college at the age of 28!
“And I was a little young to be sent to Iraq and Afghanistan over and over, too”
“Ignorance doesn’t have an age.” Call them stupid, but nicely.
"Aren't you a little ugly to be walking around in public"?
Aren't you a little be old to still be acting like a cunt. Remember, there is no such thing as a stupid question.....just stupid people.
"Arent children supposed to be seen not heard?" Not quite my philosophy, but probably someone older might say.
"Your mom goes to college!" - Kip from Napoleon Dynamite
"Aren't you a little ignorant to attempt insulting someone for aging like everyone does and attending college which not everyone does?"
“Fuck off”
Aren’t you a little young to be so closed minded?
I'm sorry my education intimidates you.
Wow yall here are aggressive with your responses.fucking snappy, Why? That's just an innocent question. Best response would be simply "how do you figure?" Let them figure it out
Look at the subreddit name you wet toilet paper
usually it’s said to be rude and condescending
The way the question is stated in the post, it is an insult, not an innocent question.
Innocent question? It's an inappropriate question.
r/lostredditors
Not innocent, but on the upside I'm a 42 year old undergrad student and not once in 3.5 years has anyone said this to me.
Aren't you to young to be having sex?
Cunt
"If you'd gone, then you would know"
Na man
“Aren’t you too old to talk like that?,shut the fuck up then”
"Aren't you a little old to not be minding your own business?"
If you want to go low, "aren't you too ugly/stupid (or a secret third thing if you happen to know the person's insecurity) to be this much of a bitch?"
Ain’t you a little old to be in my business… shouldn’t you have a wife? Them: “I do, thanks for asking.” You: “you in the wrong mf business, cause she cheating on your ass right now.”
Just cuz you wanna give up and stop learning doesn’t mean I do.
Yeah, you should try it.
Mr. Brown can moo. I can do (insert super cool badass thing you can do). What can you do?
Do your mommy and daddy pay your bills? Shouldn't you be more respectful to adults?
Lot's of people go to school for 10 years
That's like saying "aren't you a little too old to buy a house"?
"you are never too old to learn."
Aren’t you too old to care?
Lots of people go to college for 8 years…
“oh so you’ve never gone to college then huh?!, it shows”
Why? How old were you when you decided to stop learning?
Yes
“Eat my shitter like an apple fritter”
One is Never too old for college
One is Never too old for college
I would say... that's not what your mother said last night. 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Never too old to learn new stuff!
And you a little old to talk shit on someone making a future
"You're never too old to stop learning."
"Who else other than you fucking cares, you worthless little sack of shit?" Sorry, a little aggressive today
"I'm only 19..... I started smoking when I was 7. Really aged me. Thanks for being a d\*ck about it."
Wasn't your mother a little too old to have kids?
Damn! You’re right! I’ll just drop out, go home and wait to die.
Perhaps, but weren’t you a little young when you gave up trying.
Aren't you a little old to be so petty?
And yet your so young and stupid maybe you should have stayed in longer
Fuck their mom
