Poll: late argument idea

[ddon]

has anyone had a argument and later, after it was over you think of a perfect way to get back at that person in the conversation? it is annoying when that happens. what did you think was a good thing to say in an argument that possibly would have made the other person seem like a complete idiot that you thought of after it was to late.

Yes this happens frequently, i say something and then about an hour later think of something even better and have to go back to edit my post or what have you. Its fustrating.

First of all, I must commend your beautiful slaughter of the English Language!

Secondly, Yes, this happens; It is unfortunate. It is also the basis for a full episode of Seinfeld; "The jerk store called, and they're all out of YOU!"

sorry, i cant sleep.

It is the most annoying thing in the world when that happens.

Most of the time I have a good come-back/counter-argument ready, sometimes it comes to me later on, which is infuriating. Apparently people in my year are reluctant to argue with me because I'm, and I quote, "too smart."

Pussies.

Yes, all the time. I'm not too good at thinking on my feet. Gets rather annoying to be quite honest.

the French have a term for it. They call it 'Esprit de l'escalier' which means a wish on the stairs.

It's "a witty remark that occurs to you too late, literally on the way down the stairs."

I love the french <3

Yup. I think everyone gets this at some time or another...
