You get into an argument with someone, the two of you are going at each other back and forth, and they get you so riled up that you suddenly can’t think of a good comeback. Until you’re taking a shower two years later.

We’ve all been there. It’s devastating.
So let’s take a moment and pay our respects to the people who can, in fact, deliver the goods on the spot. Taken from the appropriately titled subreddit r/MurderedByWords, here are some of the best ways to end a disagreement.
