How to cope with post conversation anger

[SuckIt]

You know that feeling after a conversation that it finally hits what a fucking dick the other person was and you think of all the things you should have said.
Particularly work conversations when people are just taking the piss.

I bet there's a word in German for this!

It's along the lines of:

“Treppenwitz”
Literal translation: Staircase joke

Meaning: A witty comment that only occurs to you once the moment has completely passed.

The idea behind this one is that you only think of a good comeback or joke when you’re in the staircase on the way out the building, and not in the moment it would have been best to say it.

But not a joke!

I don’t know, but I’m currently seething about a conversation a manager had we me just as I left work today (having worked at full pelt all week). Their implication was that because I wasn’t keen on doing some busy work that would not help at all, I was being lazy (I do have an alternative proposition).

I do not want it to ruin my weekend, but I’m worried about the follow up on Monday and about her sheer audacity.

Grrrr in solidarity.

Yeah feeling the grrrr. My grrrr is a colleague I manage.

Not sure whether to pull her up next week or let it go.
I’m ok but every time my mind wanders back to our last conversation the boiling anger returns 🤣

Let’s hope we don’t know each other 😅

The manager I spoke to isn’t my manager, but keeps trying to manage me. My line manager is senior to her who is more on my wavelength, unfortunately I work more closely with the person who doesn’t manage me, but likes to try to. Not easy 😅😅
