Use the Broken Record Technique, which is to say the same phrase over and over until you have the last word.

*Insult*

“There’s no reason to talk to me like that, you can speak to me respectfully.”

*Insult 2*

“There’s no reason to talk to me like that, you can speak to me respectfully.” (ETC.)

What will happen is:

1. They look stupid, to themselves and others

2. They will use insults to save face, but if you keep using the same sentence they are being gently reprimanded.

3. You’re telling them that their insult has no merit (“There’s no reason…”)

4. You’re telling them what to do and that you deserve respect (The last part)

5. They will either slink away, apologize, or have a tantrum.

6. By doing this you build up your inner Power and Dignity. You will also gain a great reputation in the community.
