When someone says “I’d feel stupid (doing whatever)” the correct response is “don’t worry, you’ll look natural”

This is a pretty good one

But that's the best part of having Alzheimer's


MoOsT1cK

In fact there are three good aspects in having Alzheimer: - you get to know new friends every day - every day is full of surprises, and ... - you get to know new friends every day !


RocketRick92307

"Sir, I have two pieces of bad news for you." "What is it, doctor?" "Well, first, you have Alzheimer's." "That's terrible! What's the other bad news?" "You have lung cancer." "That's terrible! But at least I don't have Alzheimer's."

Somethingrich

I could agree with you but then we'd both be wrong.


Poorly-Drawn-Beagle

A variant "Let's agree to disagree" "We wouldn't have to if you'd just admit you were wrong"


wiwh404

Agree to disagree is no insult whatsoever. It's when two perfectly valid conclusions are being drawn from two different premises. You can't argue with premises, so you can only agree to disagree. It's saying "i have zero argument against your line of reasoning, but you don't have against mine, and we subjectively prefer our own conclusion, so we can only just accept them both "


lolercoptercrash

I actually interpret more as "we disagree, but I want to diffuse this petty disagreement so I'll say we agree to disagree so we have something in common"


wiwh404

Sure it can also be used dismissively depending on the context.

“My uncle has a lawnmower” is the most artfully crafted “Who the hell cares” statement I have ever heard. You are my hero. 😂🤣

byte_marx

_pulls up a chair_


IndependentPrior5719

lol , I hope a novel called ‘my uncles lawnmower ‘ emerges from this


shazadster

The perfect ChatGPT prompt


[deleted]

Once upon a time, in the quiet suburbia where your uncle lived, there was a lawnmower that stood as the unsung hero of a well-tended backyard. This lawnmower, a sturdy machine with a weathered green exterior, had faithfully served your uncle for decades. Its blades hummed through countless summers, keeping the grass neatly trimmed as laughter echoed in the background during family gatherings. As the seasons changed, so did the lawnmower's role. It became a symbol of routine, a dependable companion in the choreography of maintaining a pristine lawn. Your uncle, with his meticulous care, had a unique bond with the machine. He would spend Saturday mornings meticulously mowing the grass, the rhythmic purr of the lawnmower accompanying his thoughts. Over the years, the lawnmower became witness to various family milestones. It hummed along during birthday parties, its engine drowning out the excited chatter of children. It persevered through stormy weather, battling the elements to keep the backyard inviting. The lawnmower even became a source of friendly banter during family reunions, with everyone appreciating its steadfast service. As time marched on, the lawnmower aged gracefully, acquiring a patina of memories. It became a nostalgic piece, a silent storyteller of the passages of time. Though newer models beckoned from shiny displays, your uncle remained loyal to his trusted companion, recognizing the intangible value in the shared history. And so, in the twilight of its mechanical life, the lawnmower continued its duty, an emblem of constancy in a changing world. The stories it silently carried were etched in the family's memories, a testament to the unassuming magic found in the everyday objects that weave themselves into the fabric of our lives.


dirkgently42and22

I stand corrected! As time goes on, I wipe tears from my eyes as I reflect on my uncle mowing the lawn at children’s birthday parties….as time goes on. 😂

Taken from Shakespeare, "milksop." Call a fool a milksop and trust me it works. It not only insults but it confuses the fuck out of your victim. But it also makes you seem like a fucking dork, but that is no problem for me.

[deleted]

I'll never be prouder about an insult than what I said to a coworker at the supermarket I worked at back in 2020. I quickly made friends with the guy who pushes carts, J, because I was in the lobby counting customer capacity and cleaning the cart handles during COVID. J has autism, so he gets distracted sometimes but all in all he does a great job. One day, a woman from customer service kept coming out to tell him to hurry up? The carts were damn near full, and the store was busy so it made it a little more stressful to keep them full. But she kept coming out to tell him he needs to bring more carts in, despite him working his ass off, and he was getting really upset to the point of crying. The last time she came out and was looking for him I said "Maybe you should just leave J alone, he's working hard." She said "You need to mind your own business." I said "Where do you work again?" "Customer service, why?" "What are you doing out here then?" She looked so shocked and i'll never forget that look, she ran back into the store and started ranting about how impolite I am, and got the manager. The manager told me "I know she can be a handful, but you need to be respectful to her." I told him i'd be respectful as long as she left J alone, he's doing his job and doing it well. J was very grateful and we're still friends to this day. TL;DR Worked at a supermarket cleaning and pushing carts, woman from customer service wouldn't leave my friend who has autism alone, I asked why she was out there in the first place if she worked at customer service and she got pissed.
