Poll: Get a life

[lacktheknack]

"I'd ask where I can find one, but you clearly don't know..."

Or "BUT I LOVE BEING DEEEAAAAAD!"

The more horrified and melodramatic, the better. They'll say something about my being insane, so I quote Ford Prefect's soliloquy on going mad in it's entirety ("Then I decided I was a lemon, and a pond was a gin and tonic, and spent a month jumping in and out of it") and they go away.

After being in EMS, I usually respond rather simply with "I've saved more lives than you'll ever live."

 

[Necator15]

*cough*...I am the biochemist

But without joking, if someone said that to me, I'd give them a stunning smile then start laughing hysterically.

I simply go with 'Define life'. It's fun to watch them stutter and stammer before calling you a 'fag'.

This.
Exactly what I tell them.

It doesn't really win the 'argument' but if there are no spectators around, or they have already made up their mind about you, or you just don't care what they think about you, then it is a fun response. You can just sit back and enjoy their reaction, as Zeithri said.

You're making it sound like there's a point to the argument in the first place.
And yes, you can win the argument because most idiots start trying to define life as "Go out, fuck around, get drunk" >_<

They make a point, whether it is a worthy one or not is another matter. If someone says "your hat is on fire" you could defend yourself by replying "no it isn't". Yet if you say "define fire" it changes the subject, you mention nothing of your hat, and if there was an idiot around he might take this to mean that you know your hat is on fire and you do not deny it.

A more devious insulter might also respond with "see the world, go travelling, meet new people and cultures, read books, have fun". You might know they are a lying, devious so-and-so and that they do none of these things themselves and they are just trying to make you look bad. But yeah, mostly they will respond with "get drunk blah blah blah". The ones who do respond in an intelligent way will usually only have been joking around in the first place rather than be some macho fathead.

OT: I have to go with "I don't have to get a life. I'm a gamer. I have many lives."

Well it doesn't matter what i've said in the past i'm going with this now!

Foam at the mouth and bite them.

Foam at the mouth and bite them.

The ol' rabid dog approach.

 

[zehydra]

Ask him about this 'life' that he talks about, and waste his time for as long as you can, until he realizes he's being mocked. People who throw around insults at people they believe are 'inferior' don't take well to being the butt of a joke.

 

[Sexual Harassment Panda]

"Get a life, Panda".

I don't say anything, I just take theirs.

 

[The Hero Killer]

If its someone whos opinion I actually value its the inner pain response. For anyone else its the psycho one.

 

[Macgyvercas]

My standard response is "I tried but the store won't sell me one"

 

[YouCallMeNighthawk]

Go for the throat it's an easy kill! just say they was adopted and you have the paperwork to prove it

 

[StarStruckStrumpets]

Dam you got me. I'll admit it then, I'm a zombie. People get too confused with that one

This angle is pretty much the one I was going for. Or you could baffle them by agreeing to their insult and saying:

"But I am gamer! I have many lives!"

Or if you're like me, just say:

"I'm standing in front of you, ergo, I live. Good day."

Edit: I was expecting to be ninja'd. My powers of foresight are proven.

 

[Tharwen]

How about:

"You're an idiot."

It's generally all I ever feel that sort of person deserves from me.

 

[Sebenko]

*cough*...I am the biochemist

But without joking, if someone said that to me, I'd give them a stunning smile then start laughing hysterically.

FOR SCIENCE!

My response would be "nah, this is fine."

I had one once. Wasn't worth it.

Last time that happened I look the guy straight in the eyes and said "Oh really? Well I actually don't give a fuck!" then smiled and kept looking at him. He walked off.
