Here's and example:
A few nights ago she was in trouble and another friend and I went to help her. Later that night we were sitting on the patio talking. We started talking about something a bit off subject, when I joined in the conversation she starts mocking me and making fun of me in front of everyone.
While I am normally pretty witty, I was totally off-guard and didn't no how to respond so I just laughed.
She is the only person who does this repeatedly and it bothers me.
Is there a universal come-back that I can say to shut her up and make her feel stupid??
It is getting to the point where I pretty much avoid her ---but that really isn't my style, I like confrontations, I would really like to punch her in the face at times but violence isn't the answer.
Help please!!

Wait for it to happen again and then immediately smile , laugh , and say I know what ya mean , it's kinda like that time you ____. . . . .. Pick a certain moment when she was wrong or stupid about something even if it's slightly embarassing and insert that in the blank . I guarantee it will set her back AND THEN you will have her attention and you can express how she's done it to you .

If you don't mind confrontation, then ask her straight out the next time she does it, "What is your problem?" Don't let her off the hook either. Tell her you have been brushing it off, but it's getting old. My guess is that she is jealous for some reason and she rags on you to make herself feel better. I know people like her and it is usually a sign of her insecurity that she needs to put you down. If she can't give you a good reason that may put an end to it by making her look stupid. If she doesn't stop you need to remember that life is to short to spend it with people who make you unhappy. If she can't stop being an idiot, tell your other friends, I don't want to be around her. If you include her, don't include me!

I'm usually pretty good at come-backs. I just have to be in the situation. Just spend your alone time thinking of things to say. You'll start getting good at it. And she'll stop doing that when you start giving it back. Trust me, I know, I have a friend like that. They're almost like a little bully, so you have to bully them back. Even if it's not a witty, oooh burn comment, just say something that will make her look not so funny to those around.

Tell her she's a %$#& Geico Caveman. "You should sue them, because that "So simple a Caveman can do it" is written all over your yearbook. Oh yeah! It's your life motto."
Then take the one feature on her body that she doesn't like. And call that some ugly a s s Caveman she'ot.
Then when she's all fired up. tell her to "Simmer down or I'll put your mom on speaker phone" take a drink of your beer, and continue in your previous conversation.

Well it depends on what she is saying but i always like to say stuff like... What did you have to take a class on being that stupid or does it just come second nature to you. or he is a good one .. You can sing this song it works every time... She is stuck on stupid because stupid is stuck on her. Or just ask her is she new? no one likes to hear hear stupid crap and what makes her think she is better put her on the spot to have to tell everyone what makes her better than you and I am sure your friend will stick up for you because no one really likes girls like that. Good luck.

how about this:
1. Talk's cheap and you look like you have a lot to say.
2.It could be worse, I could be one of those people who consantly mock others to make themselves feel better
Then wipe at your nose like you are telling her she has something hanging from her nose, lol. That shuts them up and they leave the room.

Forget the witty comebacks. The best approach for a person as rude as that is to look her right in the eye and say, "Do you really think it's funny to be rude and obnoxious?" She may never speak to you again but that would be a good thing. She is definitely not your friend.

Try to focus on a physical flaw (everyone has some) and talk about it in front of others.
If that doesn't work I think you should punch her. Violence is fun sometimes!

Usually, when people are rude to other people, it only reflects how insecure and miserable they are. So, just point that out.
"Oh, I'm sorry, I didn't know that you're feeling so miserable and insecure thant you have to be rude to other people to feel superior. You thought that being rude to me would make me feel miserable just like you, didn't you?"

Just be sure to stay with the dry wit. Keep your voice flat...Try not to be too show offy, otherwise the comebacks will just come off stupid.
I don't know the entire situation of course, but you could try this, and alter it a tad to your taste:
"Well, If anyone valued your opinion, they might be hurt by that."
I applaud you for showing her up...She needs to be told off.
