Hey, guys. What are some ways to punish people who insult you?

[Anonymous]

I had some paperwork today. I went to the office and talked to the guy in charge. He was an old man. He gave me a form to fill out. I had to write down my address somewhere on the paper. I wrote it, and I found out it's in the wrong section. I didn't have much focus that day and I was quite tired, so I made a mistake. The man told me "you're dumb". I was really offended by this. At that time I didn't came up with a good reply, and I am really angry because of it. He disrespected me. Just because he's older than me, he can't disrespect me. I don't want this happen again. I always accept what I did wrong, but I can't tolerate people disrespecting me. I've always tried to be nice to people. Even when they insult, I tried to be nice. But I can't take this anymore. I don't see any reason to follow ethics and morality. I want you guys to give me some ideas. How can I make people who insult or disrespect me suffer? What should I have told him? "Motherfucker", "bastard", what? Did I have to beat that old man right there in front of everyone? What would you do in such a situation? I don't care about morality when it comes to people who disrespect me. So feel free to recommend me some ways, doesn't matter they are evil.

I think you should chill out a bit. A very valuable quote to me as one who used to have the most fiery temper:

Also this might be useful here:

That said, I'm totally in favor of some wit and humor! You might practice some quick comebacks for such situations just for the sheer fun of it. It's fun to be a cheeky bastard here and there if it's just for fun and games.

But don't let yourself get so angry and vengeful! That's weak and unbecoming of a man.

[GuyAnswersGirls123]

On how to avoid being angry and vengeful, don't try to force yourself not to have the anger but think about why and how you are angry. You have to interpret things in a very negative way to start getting so angry over something so small like this. So something is fucked up with the way you think. Figure it out and challenge it, fix it, and then you'll cease to be angry and also learn a little bit on how to avoid getting angry in similar situations. That'll also help you with quick and humorous comebacks for fun and games because you need your sense of humor for those.

Work on your sarcasm, hone it! Then unleash it on the world. I spend about 95% of my life being a sarcastic a**hole. "Do unto other before you get done unto" that's my philosophy. Sort of my variation on the golden rule.🤣

I would of told him "gee, thanks Dad"! With accompanying smirk. If he truly thought you were dumb you probably annoyed him. If I know my doing something dumb (even by mistake) annoyed you, and you insulted me for it. I'm going to steer into the skid and deliberately be as dumb as I can be just to piss you off. The more aggravated you get the more I'm going to low key enjoy it.

Punishing people is a very dumb idea. It will always go against you.

Showing that you don't care what words people use about you can be more offending than any word you can find. Start to respect yourself and your time. Don't think about stupid people. Focus on your life. It's the best way to show other people

[Asker]

I'm not saying we have to punish people to calm down ourselves. What I really mean is that an effective punishment can stop people from repeating what they did. That's the same logic based on which the law has determined specific punishment for different kinds of crimes.

[IslaTheWitch]

Punishment doesn't stop people. That's why we still have crimes. People are stopped by their own fears. That's why being indifferent in the moment when great emotional answer is expected is the best strategy.

The next time he says that just say "Well, you're old!".
Profile his advancing disabilities and taunt them. For example, if he is hard of hearing, partly cover your mouth so he can't read your lips. or if he is slow, toss him a pen and make sure he misses it.

[BoopBoopBeep]

I usually just chuckle and say "Are you okay?"

I don't give a shite what their opinion of me is. That they think it would matter is out of touch and I'm concerned they are having a stroke or something.

You want to punish those people? Stop caring.

[JacobJordan]

Seems an odd thing to get worked up over but fair play if you want to. I typically respond with sarcasm or reverse it with something like "my apologies I was bringing it down to your level" or "perhaps but not nearly as dumb as spending 50 years and only ever amounting to a glorified receptionist."

[andreasderjuengere]

A simple: "yes, uncle" will do.
The BEST attack (if that's required) is the opposite of what the other side expects.
This guy already is punished with a personality that's grumpy.

Best punishment is to IGNORE THEM. People who insult you live on the reaction response you give... so don't give one.

[Pohjolan]

You kind of deserved that one and need to grow a thicker skin.

Seriously "you're dumb" is on the lower tier of insults and disrespect.

Like how would you react if someone keyed your car?

[CozyCoffin]

Dude, move on. Being told that "you're dumb" and seeking revenge for it is juvenile.

[Asker]

I don't know why it made me angry. Maybe because I believed in it inside me. Maybe because I accepted that I'm dumb. That made me angry.

You shoulda whooped his ass just enough for a misdemeanor, then go to a temp company for a warehouse job. I cleared 45000 last year on an aggregated 40 hour work week.

[KrakenAttackin]

Damn man, you haven't worked with men much, have you? You need to develop a thicker skin. Just say "yeah, I fucked up", and move on.

With violence, the level of violence depends on the offence caused.

RKO everyone who disrespects u, they’re a child, an old fart, crippled, it doesn’t matter.

[Asker]

I want to look like the good guy. I don't want to do something that attracts lots of negative attention from people. I want to get people defend me, not him.

[ImHer]

Get him a coffee or a drink he likes an put hella laxatives in it. If he confronts u play victim

[Anonymous]

Insult them.
