QC were the bad guys who were always checking up on how equipment and aircraft were being repaired and maintained. We were the guys who wanted to see the technical data out, open and being followed. We wore black baseball caps with white &#8220;QC&#8221; letters on them. One evening I wandered into the Avionics building around the midnight shift change time. There I was spotted by a Technical Sergeant who did not like me much. He was surrounded by three young female troops and apparently couldn&#8217;t resist showing off for them and messing with me. He said loudly &#8220;Look out&#8230; Here comes QC &#8211; the Queer Chaser.&#8221; I quickly replied &#8220;That&#8217;s right, Sergeant Boyle&#8230; I&#8217;ll give you five minutes head start.&#8221; The girls all burst out laughing and the sergeant turned red&#8230; and never bothered me again.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p class=\"post-bottom-meta-links clearfix \"> <span class=\"sources\"> <a class=\"open-list-submission-source\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AskReddit\/comments\/1vj0le8\/what_was_the_best_comeback_to_an_insult_youve\/p2j2b6b\/\" target=\"_blank\"> genehil <\/a> <span class=\"open-list-submission-source-separator\">, <\/span> <a class=\"open-list-submission-source\" href=\"https:\/\/unsplash.com\/photos\/portrait-of-young-printing-house-engineer-in-white-coat-and-glasses-holding-digital-tablet-in-factory-shop-IZ8fyx3fubk\" target=\"_blank\"> Getty Images \/ Unsplash (not the actual photo) <\/a> <\/span> <span class=\"report\"> <a class=\"open-list-submission-report\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/best-comeback-insult\/javascript:void(0)\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/contact-us\/?report-post=https:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/reddit-post-16160-11\/\">Report<\/a> <\/span> <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"open-list-item open-list-block clearfix \" data-submission-id=\"11050172\">\n<p id=\"11050172\" class=\"post-content-description text-open-list\"> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/static.boredpanda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/pexels-mizunokozuki-12886957-6a7af09c09021__700.jpg\" alt=\"A young boy looks downcast, receiving sick burns that earn the speaker mad respect for their directness.\" title=\"A young boy looks downcast, receiving sick burns that earn the speaker mad respect for their directness.\" width=\"605\" height=\"908\"\/> <span class=\"bordered-description with-image\">A kid my kids went to elementary school with was being bullied.

The older daughter was probably 10 at the time and the youngest was probably 5 or 6. The 10 y.o. kept bothering the younger one for awhile, just kept making jokes about every thing she said and trying to get under her skin. Not in a mean way, just in a &#8220;siblings razzing each other&#8221; kinda way. This went on for a little while, with the 6 year old barely acknowledging it, when suddenly she lets out a sad sigh, looks at her older sister very seriously and says, &#8220;I&#8217;m sorry sis. One day you&#8217;ll be cool and have friends, and then you won&#8217;t act this way anymore.&#8221;, then she went back to coloring her picture. My older daughter sat there for a moment and then just got up and walked out of the room, and the younger immediately started giggling. A minute later I went and found her in her room and I had to laugh at the look on her face. She looked genuinely flustered and told me, &#8220;she really got me. I couldn&#8217;t say anything so I had to leave the room. I wanted to laugh and to cry at the same time. I&#8217;m so proud of my sister&#8221;.<\/span> <\/p>\n<p class=\"post-bottom-meta-links clearfix \"> <span class=\"sources\"> <a class=\"open-list-submission-source\" href=\"https:\/\/www.reddit.com\/r\/AskReddit\/comments\/1vj0le8\/what_was_the_best_comeback_to_an_insult_youve\/p2jtsot\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Ihave2stories <\/a> <span class=\"open-list-submission-source-separator\">, <\/span> <a class=\"open-list-submission-source\" href=\"https:\/\/www.pexels.com\/photo\/girl-in-white-long-sleeve-shirt-holding-colored-pencil-8770579\/\" target=\"_blank\"> Gustavo Fring \/ Pexels (not the actual photo) <\/a> <\/span> <span class=\"report\"> <a class=\"open-list-submission-report\" href=\"https:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/best-comeback-insult\/javascript:void(0)\" data-href=\"http:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/contact-us\/?report-post=https:\/\/www.boredpanda.com\/reddit-post-16160-58\/\">Report<\/a> <\/span> <\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<div class=\"open-list-item open-list-block clearfix \" data-submission-id=\"11050143\">\n<p id=\"11050143\" class=\"post-content-description text-open-list\"> <img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"image-size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/static.boredpanda.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/pexels-olly-3811804-6a7b037b606ed__700.jpg\" alt=\"A young person with curly hair and glasses sits on a blue couch, delivering a sick burn.\" title=\"A young person with curly hair and glasses sits on a blue couch, delivering a sick burn.\" width=\"605\" height=\"914\"\/> <span class=\"bordered-description with-image\">I don\u2019t know if this is real, but my sister told me a story about her friend Debbie.
