An obnoxious mother at gymnastics today made my daughter cry. (The back story is long and this woman drives me bonkers but for the sake of having to see the woman several times a week I have never called her out. She is quite a bully but I try to ignore her. Today, I was livid but more concerned about calming my child down at the time. It is probably too late to reply the way I would have then without it causing another argument. And it got me thinking of all the replies that I have thought of long after an argument.
I wish I had said, "come on, it was clearly an accident and she did apologise immediately without my prompting. I thought you were the adult and she was the 4 year old. Grow up!"
What are the replies you would like to say to someone that for whatever reason you just never said?

Sometimes it’s better to be measured and just get de-escalate and get away
I’m not a fan of the numerous pithy put downs I read on mn
No doubt someone will rock up with did you mean to be so rude which is wanky
And what if it doesn’t play out in rl like yiu hope,after delivering the pithy put down?
She sounds ghastly btw
