If someone says..........

Sara! Please do not be impatient to deal with such a person, you need to handle him/her tactfully and intelligently, rather than walking away. Thanks for joining and enriching the post.

I walk away so I don't do anything stupid. If I stay I will let them have it.

Sara! You may do so and you doing this will make the other person dare not again say these words that "s/he is smarter", again to you.

Hello Chaitra! Great Comment! One of the best comments so far. It proves that you are in fact 'smarter' than that fellow and knows how to give him/her an 'appropriate' response and how to handle the situation. I would give 9 marks out of 10 to you for your witty answer.

OK! Let me allow to revise my marking scheme. I award you 10 out of 10.

I was expecting 10 out of 10 LOL

Hello Buchi! I liked your joke very much, it says all. Wonderfully explained through this witty joke. Full marks to you.

Very Good!

Thank you as long as I made you laugh for a minute. Marks 100/100 is there but remark GOOD is not there.

Hello Kiran! This is an intelligent and near perfect answer and I would give you full marks for it. I am sure that you are very patient and cool and can handle any such person in your life. I am impressed with your answer. Deepak

I fully agree with you Kiran that we come across certain people, who do not stop bragging, whenever they meet us and it may be due to their insecure feelings and 'complex'.

Thnks a lot deepak ....there are some people who turn you off the moment they open their mouth, talking only abt themselves, their children,wife and how smart they all are ...Dont we come across loads of such people? deepak I tend to think that there is some insecurity deep down inside that is making them say that.Otherwise in life I am sure there is always someone smarter than you and better than you.....Have a great evening

Hi eLs! Welcome to my discussion for the first time. Your avatar is very catchy and attractive. You can always advice him/her that you don't like bragging and as you are 'smarter' than him/her, s/he cannot claim to be smarter than you. Many thanks for your response.

eLs- I would love to continue our interaction. You appear 'smarter' to me and very witty and intelligent. dpk PS - I've sent you a request for add, please accept.

You're so much welcome dpk262006... I was a member of mylot for quite sometime but I wasn't really able to find your discussions... I can sense that we are already growing in number... :D

Hello there! Basqui, welcome to my discussion. This is the first positive answer, which I have received so far. You speak like an intelligent and wise person and you have the patience to retrospect. It is possible that he might have higher level of knowledge in a particular field and you have higher knowledge in some other field, which he may not have. Thanks for sharing and joining us.

I appreciate your attitude and I am sure you will go a long way in your life.

i'm a person who doesn't argue much so i prefer to settle things in a gentle manner. whew!

Yes, it is true that a smart person will normally would not make a claim like it.Thanks for joining.

Hello gr! I think hearing your this kind of comments, the fellow will run away of will hide his/her face in handkerchief. I am impressed with your witty answer. Deepak

It means you are smarter than all of them and they dare not say you or claim that they are smarter than you. Thanks for joining sanjana. dpk PS - How is your leg now?

Welcome to my discussion. Very funny ral!Great response! I liked it very much. Full marks to you!

Thanks donna for being the first one to kick start the discussion. I can rate your response as a 'Very Good answer!' to the statement/question.

You are welcome!

Hello my dear Eureka! :-) Yours is an intelligent and witty answer and I would like to give you 8 out of 10. Thanks for appreciating my post and joining me. Deepak

It means that you ignore the people who claim to be smarter?

Yes, I don't think the people will claim smarter if they are really smart.

Do you mean to say - you will ask him/her - "who are you'?

You mean to say - You would tell that person that you cannot decided yourself that you are smarter than me, there needs to be third person to judge. Is it?

hi dpk262006. =) if i was told "i'm smarter than you", i will respond by saying "says who?".

I liked it very much, Alok.

Hello Zandi! I agree with you that a real 'smart' person would not brag about himself, as wiser persons are found to be more modest. Thanks for sharing such a meaningful thought.

Good answer Jai Ho and it shows that you are good at handling people. Thanks for joining us.

I would consider your response obscene but it appears derogatory to the person who made this statement. I requested for some funny response. This could be termed as funny but it looks a bit odd too.

Hello Mav! You appear a very practical person and I am sure you would be able to handle any unexpected or odd situation in your life. Thanks for sharing your views. :-)

Hello there! Uniquerorn, Welcome to my post. How can you presume that if someone is giving you this kind of a compliment, s/he is a mindless monkey. I think a monkey cannot give this kind of a complement.
