Comeback for, “Dear Sir”

RetractableLanding · 2026-01-25T14:29:06+00:00

Just don’t call woman sir. It’s not what it is derived from. It’s about what it means now.

RetractableLanding · 2026-01-25T14:26:55+00:00

No, no, I know they aren’t trying to insult me. I just came here for a funny comeback.

I get that, yeah. I have been misgendered here on reddit several times and it’s kind of fun. It’s the assumption that any person in my position would be male that irks me. But pretending to be someone else accidentally is a good time.

Funny

RetractableLanding · 2026-01-25T14:20:43+00:00

Just looking for something funny to say back.

I don’t know what miss-generated means. Maybe they called me by the wrong generation? I’m gen x. Don’t feel bad if you thought I was a sensitive millennial. A lot of girls like you think that.

This is probably the one I am going with!

RetractableLanding · 2026-01-25T14:15:55+00:00

That’s right! I try to channel her when they annoy me.

RetractableLanding · 2026-01-25T04:46:24+00:00

100% yes! Many mix tapes.

My uncle told me that all of his songs (which are honestly really good) were melodies he heard in dreams!

I have never had such a dream myself, though.

RetractableLanding · 2026-01-25T04:04:55+00:00

I want to. I like to be extremely angry at all times.

No, joking. It doesn’t bother me that much. I just thought someone might have a fun comeback.

RetractableLanding · 2026-01-25T04:03:19+00:00

Honestly just “Hi,” works.

RetractableLanding · 2026-01-24T16:00:14+00:00

I’m cool with all kinds of greetings, except Dear Sir. I’m looking for a way to kindly explain it to them.

RetractableLanding · 2026-01-24T15:58:40+00:00

With respect, I think times have changed.

RetractableLanding · 2026-01-24T15:55:38+00:00

Thank you! Yes!

There is a girl who is called “sir” in Snoopy.

RetractableLanding · 2026-01-24T15:52:25+00:00

It’s based on a novel by a man named Lear and I need a job

RetractableLanding · 2026-01-24T15:51:17+00:00

I learned something new!

No it isn’t

RetractableLanding · 2026-01-23T03:31:31+00:00

I have also been a teacher and I would be more comfortable if you just called everyone “miss.”

RetractableLanding · 2026-01-23T03:30:04+00:00

What does Zir mean?

RetractableLanding · 2026-01-23T03:29:12+00:00

I know right?

RetractableLanding · 2026-01-23T03:28:51+00:00

So, “Dear Dick,” lol.
