Top ten comebacks for pushy people

July 20, 2015 by Jax

Use these great comebacks when someone won’t back off. Check out our top ten comeback lists at www.ishouldhavesaid.net .

We’ve all met the pushy person who keeps coming at you and won’t back off. Pushy people often miss social cues and are overly assertive about what they want, invading the personal boundaries of those around them. Pushy people can be exasperating and exhausting to be around.

People who really want something can be relentless. A family friend’s teenager kept demanding that his family send him on a trip to Europe with his grandma. Even though his parents had sent him on two school trips, plus a US trip the previous year, he was obsessed with going to Europe and wouldn’t stop hounding his parents to pay for the trip.

Desperately needing a trip to Europe is definitely a first world problem. Tired of their son’s demanding and pushy ways, his parents told him that they would only pay if he raised $1,000 of the money himself.

You have no obligation to fulfill other people’s demands. When someone can’t respect your personal boundaries you may need to take a break from the person for a while.
