Hindsight Comeback

That absolutely perfect, witty, devastatingly clever, or just plain savage thing you should have said during an argument, confrontation, or awkward conversation, but only thought of hours (or days) later when you're replaying the scene in your head for the tenth time (usually in the shower or trying to sleep).
Dude 1: "Man, I was arguing with my boss today, and he totally shut me down."
Dude 2: "Yeah?"
Dude 1: "Yeah, but like, 2 hours later on the drive home, I thought of the perfect response that would have made him look like a total idiot. Classic hindsight comeback."

You: Hey, what do you want on the pizza?
Stupid Person: Pineapple.
You: Ew, heck no. That's disgusting.
Stupid Person: No, you're disgusting.
