List funny comeback one liners that you have to your boss or teacher?

Asked by RedDeerGuy1 (24486points) April 19th, 2023

My boss years ago said for me to work at 110% , and I replied ” ok then I expect to get paid 110%”.

What are some funny comebacks?

I had a boss who was always saying that we were going to have a short meeting, which invariably turned into a long meeting. One time when he made his usual announcement, I just said, “I have heard that before”

What are these things you call Bosses? :)

I was working in a 7-physician office; 5 of them were 7th Day Adventists and were the original founders of the highly regarded practice. One, Dr. B, was Chief of Staff at a large hospital nearby. I was the laboratory tech. I had several machines, one was very large and needed its own special water supply, so there was a large tank kept in a closet with hoses leading to the machine.

remember…religious bosses

One day I walked into the lab and the head boss was just leaving the closet after looking at the water system – he was interested in stuff. I said, “Hi Dr. B, coming out of the closet?”

He didn’t say anything. I’m sure he didn’t think it was funny. I thought it was hilarious, but didn’t laugh.

Not a boss or a teacher, a coworker.

True story: When I moved from VT to TN, I got culture shock. One day I was working in Vanderbilt Hospital in the lab, and there was a conversation about ‘yankees’. the south is still fighting the war. This guy said, “Yankees are like hemorrhoids…they come down, they’re a pain in the ass, and they won’t go back up.”

I said, “Yeah, but you notice they only bother assholes?”
