You step on someone’s brand-new shoe ‘unintentionally’.
But they ignore your apology and hit your feet harder, saying ‘It’s a tit for tat’.
What just happened, leaves you in shock.
You couldn’t believe this.
When you don’t want such things to ruin your day, you better know how to deal with that.
In this article, you will learn how to respond to “Tit for tat” to make it even.
And, that in the coolest way possible.
What To Say When Someone Says “Tit For Tat”?
Well, you should first know that someone is impatient and mad.
They don’t realize that it was an accident and not intentional.
It’s good to avoid arguments with them, so you choose not to respond.
If you can, smile at them and walk away.
Because that’s a ‘Tit for tat’ and it makes them feel good.
And if you did something on purpose, you still can just smile back.
Because they did to you what you did to them in the first place.
So you both are equal now. Nothing more to say or do from any side.
Whereas, if you believe that this person did something harder than you or it’s a friend and you want to tease them a bit, there are some ways to respond.
Take a look at these coolest responses to “Tit for tat” to still win and make them feel ashamed for behaving that way.
1. “Does that make you happy now? Good for you.”
They took it very personally.
And, you don’t know why they behave like this.
Instead, they do the same thing to you harder and say with rage ‘It’s tit for tat’.
You see no point in arguing, so you share this smart response.
2. “Thank you, I was waiting for this”
Here you act mature because someone is just being a kid.
You can tease this man-child more by giving this prompt comeback.
It shows you don’t feel any impact.
3. “That’s a good one. I must say I like that.”
What you did to them, they just did the same to you.
And it’s a better one, so you appreciate them.
When their comeback is good and it impresses you, you can say it.
This shows you don’t take anything personally.
4. “Do something else, you’re just doing what I do.”
They imitate your every step in the game, which shows they don’t know how to play.
So here you insult your friend who says ‘tit for tat’ after every move.
But going the same as you.
In response, you challenge them to do something new.
5. “Yeah, a solid one, though. Now, be ready for the hardest karma.”
When someone does something harder in the name of ‘tit for tat’, you can give this response.
You’re not doing anything now, but you leave them in confusion.
In reality, you wait for the karma to punish them back some other day.
And this is a clever reply to keep them more alert every time.
6. “So, What else? Is that the best you got?”
What you did to them, they try to do the same to you (or even harder).
But they failed here.
So, you, tease them because you don’t even feel anything with their reaction.
It will always keep them regretting that they had a chance to tit for tat but they lose it.
7. “Okay!! I think this is the end, Right?”
You want to make sure that they are done here.
Or if there’s more ‘tit for tat’ coming from them.
As you ask this question directly to them, it will make them feel embarrassed.
And, they will realize that they shouldn’t have to do that.

What Does “Tit For Tat” Mean?
The phrase “Tit for tat” is used by someone after doing the same thing (or even harder) to another person who did it first to them either intentionally or mistakenly.
So, it’s more like ‘I’m giving you what you gave me’ type of thing.
By this expression, this person feels satisfied that they do justice by giving equal treatment to someone for what they did.
Mostly, you can expect the phrase ‘tit for tat’ from any annoyed people.
Because they have no control or understanding.
When dealing with it, be patient and don’t take it personally when someone says ‘Tit for tat’ to you and do the same thing.
Because they don’t have patience. So, better if you show it.
That ends the argument there.
No need to do anything further, just stay away from them.
But if you want to play cool and make them feel embarrassed of such childish behavior, you can try the shared cool replies to ‘tit for tat’ to still stay the winner there.
