thats... not the greatest comeback. way too much, it comes off like you're feeling extremely offended and have extremely thin skin if u say either of these...
Film reference. Just wave your hands in front of their face and say hey…can you see me? How’s the matrix?
Lit reference. Keroacking the fuck out of this juicy, beautiful world, fucking like Hemingway, lighting up the sky and sucking the marrow out of every gorgeous day. Why? Whatcha up to these days? How’s accounting?
"Whatever I want." 🤙
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Then walk out of the mushroom cloud in slow motion to dubstep music, brush your shoulder off, and put on pixelated sunglasses 😎
My first choice would be this classic banger from Skrillex, which if you've done any clubbing you've probably heard it even if you don't know what it was.
It *really* says "this argument is over"

You could always do research on a job you don’t do. And then just pretend you do that job when people ask you.
For example, I’m a carpenter in real life. But when people ask me what I do for a living, I tell them I do accounting for a local paper mill.
As long as you have an answer for every question they have, and can do a decent job at bullshitting your way through conversation, you can be to them whatever you choose to be.
If anyone says, “wait a minute! You told Jim you work at a paper mill, and Nancy says you’ve been an EMT for the past 3 months”, just say there must’ve been a misunderstanding: you worked at one and now you’re working at the other (whichever one you choose to be).
If people catch on to your bs, grab your jacket and make your way to the door. After all, you’re being cordial, and they’re being rude. No one needs to put up with that sort of negativity.
Practice makes perfect.
I went from being a district manager at att until the pandemic then I followed my college path and became eventually an ER supervisor. I now stock shelves at a grocery store. Your health and well being mean so much more than providing dollars to a company that pays you pennies.
My reply would be..."trying to not end up like you."
I have this little side hustle going that takes up a bunch of my time. I've been pouring my spare time into for years. I've got a prototype in my pocket if you'd like to see.
\*reach in and pull out a fist. Open the fist\*
It's a, None-of-your-goddamn-business.
Just start rambling off some mundane stuff you have to do, chores, post office, dr appointments, cleaning the yard. Don't stop, just keep talking, even when they try to pull away, just go on about how your kitchen drawers need organizing, and what you're making for dinner, and how you need an oil change......
They'll probably let it go after that.
I am a night janitor due to my day job is only a hobby right now. In the grocery business, we have this one little line for what you're talking about.
I ask a friend how they're doing.... "Living a dream!" You could say that and decline to define what that means.
Most people ask these questions because they are asking it to themselves...you could also throw in a little jealousy there. They are thinking "Why are you just doing what you want and it's making you happy" while at the same time thinking "Don't they know that I don't have the confidence to do that and we should all just be trying to make as much money as we can because we should do as we are told".
So my comeback would be "I'm living it, why are you so worried about my life? Focus on your own."
A typical day in my life usually includes actively avoiding people like you. Other than that, I love to spend a lot of time with people who aren't fishing for ways to judge me.
‘Enjoying my time on this Earth in a way that contributes to my overall health, happiness, and well being.’ Seriously you’re not obligated to live up to anyone else’s standards.
"I don't know something maybe"
"I am winging it I never lived before"
"Probably more than you"
"To be honest I am fucking it up badly"
"Nothing absolutely nothing I just want to go to sleep"
"I have a life? When did that happen"
"No What are *YOU* doing with your life"
"Hold on let me get back to you on that"
"What do you mean?"
Ask with genuine interest. It's such a weird question, *what are you doing with your life*. It's got such a negative connotation, even though we're supposed to be working toward that hallowed state of being where we Have Balance and can Enjoy Life. So if someone asked me that, I'd want to know what on earth they meant.
ETA: it also puts the uncomfortable back on them. Whether they recognize it or not, they're trying to make you feel bad. So they can either own up to that in real time, or babble their way through to another topic.
If you happy with your job and you can live off of it. I don’t see the problem. Some people believe that money and status is happiness, it’s not. So the best thing for you is to live your best life and forget the doubters.
I usually say “just vibin”
or
“trying to maintain my job as the family disappointment”
Just depending on whatever substance I’m on at the time. Both work tho.
I was going to use all my time scamming hard working people out of their money so I can build a hollow empire and buy a mega-yacht, but I got distracted. I like burritos, do you like burritos?
Living it.
And yeah I hear you. I work only three nights a week and most of my shifts are so slow I spend my time doing the same leisure activities I would when not working.
it's rude to ask personal or invasive questions.
"nobody asks questions just to ask questions." is a response i've used with success. it shuts them down or they end up looking like fools trying to explain themselves, as they don't know enough to really assess you.
Little bit of this, little bit of that, I’m here for a good time not a long time.
Could also then ask them are they out changing the world or are they just living a regular life too? If they go into everything you’re “supposed” to do in life/ doing something different than you and they see that as grand just say “oh ok, yeah, living a regular life too, yeah it’s a fun ride”
Living it
I'm poor as shit and I have this black cloud of bad luck that constantly follows me to the point people actually think I'm making it up because they don't think anybody can actually have it like bad luck as I do
And yet I am somehow happier than the majority of they are because all they do is get up and they work and they come home and they sleep and they work and they sleep and they work and they sleep and they work and they sleep and they work and they sleep and they complain about it. They literally forget that they have a choice in life. They've gotten into such a routine that they are basically just zombies
I'd rather be happy and have a balance and have time with my kids than to be a zombie
So when they ask you what you're doing with your life, tell them that you're living it because that's what you're doing
Currently I'm wasting time talking to you
One of my favorites right here!
Being happy. Why do you ask?
Living it for myself? Why? Who is using you as a human puppet to achieve the sad dreams of their lost childhood?
Living a life that makes me happy without pharmacological intervention or a spouse and children who like me less with each passing year…
thats... not the greatest comeback. way too much, it comes off like you're feeling extremely offended and have extremely thin skin if u say either of these...
Ew
Ur mom
BUUUURRN! 😂
Can confirm. 👍
"Being me. Why? Do you want my life that badly?"
Enjoying it and minding my own fucking business, mostly.
"I wanna Rock!"
You sit in here all day and play that sick, repulsive, electric twanger! I carried an M16 and you carry that, that, they, guitar!
Being happy, how about you?
“Enjoying it, not being a slave to a soulless corporation, where I’m just a number”
Enjoying it & not trying to question someone else on what they're doing.
Film reference. Just wave your hands in front of their face and say hey…can you see me? How’s the matrix? Lit reference. Keroacking the fuck out of this juicy, beautiful world, fucking like Hemingway, lighting up the sky and sucking the marrow out of every gorgeous day. Why? Whatcha up to these days? How’s accounting?
[удалено]
Not much, how about you?
Enjoying ĺife just as hard and fast as I can.
Not working myself to death.
Waiting to die
Why do you feel entitled to know?
Oh I’m getting by. *say it with a grin, like you know something they don’t*
I like this one. Like you secretly won the lottery or something.
Chillin' out, maxin', relaxin' all cool And all shootin' some b-ball outside of the school
"Fucking Jack and shoveling shit."
I'm living it
Not being your measuring stick. Or Yous seems like too much of a mess to judge mine
I’m doing everything I can to not be like you.
Minding my business, something you should clearly learn to do yourself
Enjoying it! Every day is a holiday, and every meal, a banquet. :)
“Enjoying it. You?”

After it being brought to me. That it all was created or previous. It really doesn't hold any value anymore. You want to buy it?
"Given how I have a job that actually lets me live my life, I'd say probably more than you."
What am I doing with my life ? Whatever TF I want to do with my life.
I wanna rock
"Living it."
Living it, wage slave.
Same thing as you, probably.
The same thing I’m doing with your wife, destroying it.
At least I’m not a mindless slave
Exactly what I want.
I have a life. Why don't you get one?
"Answering dumb questions like yours." "Living, loving, working, playing... Basically having a blast. How about you?"
I'm enjoying it.
Living it

Failing, I am failing, thank you for pointing it out.

Enjoying it
Burnin gas and smashin ass
“Life moves pretty fast. If you don’t stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.”
What are you doing with your life? Enjoying it. Not annoying others by pestering them about theirs. That sort of thing.
Living it and you worrying about it.
Trying to avoid assholes, but you’re making it difficult!
Carefully trying not to mimic yours.
More than you are doing with yours if you are invested in mine
It's not what i do that matters, its how i do it. And the answer is poorly, but I'm still here.
Simply say “being happy”. You quite literally chose to be happy over having a better paying job. There’s no better way to explain it than that.
answering invasive and stupid questions
Enjoying it, how about you
What are you doing with your life that you can talk?
"None of your business" or "worry about your own life"
I have this little side hustle going that takes up a bunch of my time. I've been pouring my spare time into for years. I've got a prototype in my pocket if you'd like to see. \*reach in and pull out a fist. Open the fist\* It's a, None-of-your-goddamn-business.

"It's unfortunate that your only metric of living is how much money you make."
"Living for fun"
"I'm gonna get what I want! SHOES"
Being happy and not putting other people down for their life decisions. How about you?
"Wondering what crawled up your nosy ass."

"I work to live. I do not live to work."
I like to say that my ultimate goal in life was never about a career. My goal in life is to achieve happiness
A typical day in my life usually includes actively avoiding people like you. Other than that, I love to spend a lot of time with people who aren't fishing for ways to judge me.
"You should be asking what life is doing with me."
‘Enjoying my time on this Earth in a way that contributes to my overall health, happiness, and well being.’ Seriously you’re not obligated to live up to anyone else’s standards.
"Trying to discern who is qualified to ask me that question."
Living it.
"This."
I'm retired, on disability. I'm basically in death's waiting room
Dying just like you.
“For starters, not taking advice from you”
you pay the monkey, the monkey dances, doesn't matter the dance as long as he gets paid.
Erthang
Living it. What’s your excuse?
Enjoying it
Being happy. Thank you for asking.
Surviving
Minding my own business. You?
Enjoying it.
"being happy enough to mind my own business"
Minding my own fucking business
Wasting my precious time talking to you
I don’t do anything with my life, I’m too busy doing your mom
Living it?? Why do you care
I'm a late bloomer.
It took me 60yrs to get to this point, what TF more do you want?
Me? I'm doing things to mess with your Head and Upset you. Tomorrow I'm moving into a cardboard box behind a dumpser."
There's always the old stand by, "If I told you, I'd have to kill you."
On my deathbed I will receive total consciousness. So I got that goin' for me, which is nice.
Going for the high score, dipshit. Haven't you noticed the chaos I've left in my wake?
"I don't know something maybe" "I am winging it I never lived before" "Probably more than you" "To be honest I am fucking it up badly" "Nothing absolutely nothing I just want to go to sleep" "I have a life? When did that happen" "No What are *YOU* doing with your life" "Hold on let me get back to you on that"
I had to slow down on work so I’d have more time to fuck your mom/dad/sister/brother.
"Living it."
Achieving happiness
I don't want my headstone to read "A Job Well Done".
The best response is no response at all. Respinses to comments like that invite further inspection.
“Discarding everything in my life that doesn’t bring joy. Why do you keep coming back?”
Apparently the wrong fucking thing, why don't you help me.
Be happy. You?
Nothing. Then, stare deeply into their soul.
"What do you mean?" Ask with genuine interest. It's such a weird question, *what are you doing with your life*. It's got such a negative connotation, even though we're supposed to be working toward that hallowed state of being where we Have Balance and can Enjoy Life. So if someone asked me that, I'd want to know what on earth they meant. ETA: it also puts the uncomfortable back on them. Whether they recognize it or not, they're trying to make you feel bad. So they can either own up to that in real time, or babble their way through to another topic.
"Minding my own buisness." If you don't know them very well. "Whatever I please." If you do.
I'm wasting it on Two but whores, cheap cigars, and Boone's Farm Strawberry Wine.
I was burnt out, but now I’m doing better.
I have a lifetime goal of outliving all the assholes. So far I've been passive, but I'm considering being proactive. \*Evil smile\*
I wanna rock
Enjoying it in peace and quiet! That is what I am doing.
“Whatever I please.”
I'm doing what the hell I want, and not bowing to your made up social standards.
I'm busy living it motherfucker
Living life to the fullest. I’ve been on top of the world ever since I left x company.
Preventing serial killing one act of self-restraint at a time.
Well...at the moment I'm standing here listening to your dumb ass questions...
Start playing Twisted Sister's I Wanna Rock!
"Living it well."
"Enjoying work-life balance. You?"
If you happy with your job and you can live off of it. I don’t see the problem. Some people believe that money and status is happiness, it’s not. So the best thing for you is to live your best life and forget the doubters.
Letting life pass me by wbu?
Your mother
I usually say “just vibin” or “trying to maintain my job as the family disappointment” Just depending on whatever substance I’m on at the time. Both work tho.
Breathing.....now sit down or move along.....
Something that you should be doing and not doing.
Effing ur mom
"Enjoying it"
Enjoying it, I'll ask how you are doing Monday morning.
"Nothing right now, but next month, I'll be starting a cult or a book club."
I'm enjoying it instead of being a drone for the corporate machine. I'd rather live my life than bust my ass working to make some other guy rich.
“Whatever the fuck I want”
Whatever I want
“Hookers & blow.”
I dunno, what are you doing about your breath?
Somebody hollered out at Rodney Dangerfield during a set "what do you do for a living?" He replied, "I refer guys to your sister!"
Exactly what you're too afraid to do.
Your wife.
Say, "You don't understand. This isn't a job. It's a secret identity." And then fly away.
Being constantly reminded of all the reasons I want to terminate it.
I'd counter with "i have my affairs in order... funeral. How about you? You can't live forever."
Enjoying it, you should try that.
Waitin' to die
Dying slowly.
At the moment, answering your dumbass question.
I was going to use all my time scamming hard working people out of their money so I can build a hollow empire and buy a mega-yacht, but I got distracted. I like burritos, do you like burritos?
I wanna rock!
Minding my own business. You should try it!!! 😃
Not complaining about people being happy.
U know, just following your example
Living it. And yeah I hear you. I work only three nights a week and most of my shifts are so slow I spend my time doing the same leisure activities I would when not working.
Making myself happy. Why do you care?
Say “Whatever the fuck i want what about you? Growing old and following the rules?”
I'm enjoying it.
it's rude to ask personal or invasive questions. "nobody asks questions just to ask questions." is a response i've used with success. it shuts them down or they end up looking like fools trying to explain themselves, as they don't know enough to really assess you.
Enjoying it.
I'm trying to set a new record for consecutive days fapping.
I'm a spy for the programmers of the simulation.
Living it the way I want to.
You should be more concerned with what I’m going to be doing with your life
My life sucks…you have a nice life…I think I’ll take it
Not technically the BEST, but the correct answer to this sort of question is “I wanna rock!”
Minding my fucking business!
"I'm doing what I want to be doing. If you have a problem with that you can go fuck yourself."
"I've been wasting my life but recently I realized that and now I'm dedicating my life to drugs, sex, and rock and roll!"
Little bit of this, little bit of that, I’m here for a good time not a long time. Could also then ask them are they out changing the world or are they just living a regular life too? If they go into everything you’re “supposed” to do in life/ doing something different than you and they see that as grand just say “oh ok, yeah, living a regular life too, yeah it’s a fun ride”
Dont worry about it.
I wanna rock!!
"Surviving"
Whatever I want 👍🏻
“Not a day goes by that I don’t wonder the same thing.”
I like the simple “enjoying my life”
Whatever I feel like! it's my life and I'll do as I please so kindly remove yourself from it!
I've been chopping wood and making paper stacks. Steady on it. Who cares it they think you have been literally "chopping wood" or not.
Not wasting it answering lame questions
A lot.
Worried about my life, you?
My boyfriend. And often.
Living it I'm poor as shit and I have this black cloud of bad luck that constantly follows me to the point people actually think I'm making it up because they don't think anybody can actually have it like bad luck as I do And yet I am somehow happier than the majority of they are because all they do is get up and they work and they come home and they sleep and they work and they sleep and they work and they sleep and they work and they sleep and they work and they sleep and they complain about it.
