1. I’d Rather Be Quiet than Rude like You

Most people don't realize that they're being inappropriate when they ask someone why they're being quiet. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that they're being rude. That's why you should call them out on their behavior. Hey, if they can point out your silence, you can point out their obnoxiousness.

2. I’m Only Quiet around the People I Can’t Stand

This will put others in their place. After all, most people get chatty when they're around their close friends. So if you're being quiet, it must mean that you're uncomfortable around the other person. Don't be afraid to say it. Let them know that you don't want anything to do with them.

Frequently asked questions

3. Not in Bed

It's best to use this comeback with your crush, because then you can throw a wink in at the end of it. That way, he'll know that you're a lady in the streets, but a freak in the bed.

4. I Don’t Waste Words

There's no reason to speak when you have nothing to say. You actually think through your comments before you spit them out, which is why you always sound so wise. More people should act like you instead of blurting out every silly thing that pops into their head.

5. I’ve Been That Way since the Incident

When you use this phrase, make it clear that you're joking, unless your intention is to make everyone around you feel as awkward as you do. If that actually is your intention, then feel free to say it with a straight face to make them feel bad. They'll spend the day wondering what that "incident" could've been.

1 and 2 are unnecessarily rude and sound obnoxious

At work I am so quiet, so I don't say much to my coworker which is even more awkward. When I had the courage to I was joking with a coworker but he didn't joke back. So I now just wear headphones when we have to do individual task. If someone if different why not respect them :/

Haha "no one plans a murder outloud." To be honest people say I'm too loud, but now I know what to say on my moody days:D
