I freaking get frustrated around them. I try my best not to get affected by what they say but they continue to say crap even when I don't retaliate. I usually don't have funny remarks to get back at them or feel like i should put anyone down but man i wish i had good remarks to get back at them.. I freaking hate people who continue to put other people down with their remarks and stupid jokes... How do you even deal with these types of people?
Just walk away OP. Nothing bothers those types of people more than those who just walk away from them.
A little background would be helpful since that will determine your response. Was this on a basketball court? In a study group for school? You get my drift.
I know exactly the type of person you speak of, and I detest them. Maybe -Rockets is correct. Give 'em no reaction, it will kill em. Give them the reaction they seek, and they have accomplished their goal. Although, I'll say this, in some group settings, there's usually other people around that laugh at the "assholes'" jokes, which enforces the ******* to continue.

They usually want a reaction. Just stay calm and ignore them. I promise they will stop if you do these 2 things.
So, what if you're hooping (playing basketball for those unfamiliar with the lingo) and a guy makes a comment about you having too tight of shorts on? Something along the lines of: "I didn't know tight shorts were in style!" or "You look like Derek Fisher with them tight ass shorts on!"
Yeah, I guess I can see that, in a way. But, these weren't like "1950s ABA style shorts. No, they didn't reach a foot below the knee, but they were knee-length.
Walk away man. Honestly two of my closest friends before were such "assholes" who always made fun of others (namely other people who weren't kindly subjected to their ego and alpha-status). It made me feel bad about myself all the time, as I thought I had deserved all those remarks and put-downs and it was my fault that triggered all of them. Guess what, now its been about 1 year since I stopped hanging out with them and stop associating with one of them completely, and now its almost like I had completely transformed myself in certain ways. I thank God everyday that I have now come to realise who I really am and how it wasn't my fault they were making those snarky remarks about me all the time. You should just walk away, and feel better about yourself that you are not one of those people.
