How many times have you thought of the perfect response to someone hours after the fact?

It’s good that she stepped in to offer help at all.

    It's so common the French have a two (or four I don't speak French or apostrophe) words for it. L'esprit d'escalier. Wit of the step stack hallway.

    I guess we should just applaud?

    It's good she said something, I agree. She could also have said something better, and mine came after about 7 seconds, not hours.

    I guess you're just much better at responses than this made up woman in this meme format. Congrats?

    My wit is but a pale shadow of this made up woman's courage.

    You just had to make it known to us all how much better you are than her.

    Applause all around.
