You only think of the best comeback when you leave.
Meaning of the quote
"This quote means that sometimes you think of the perfect thing to say or do, but it's only after you've already walked away from the situation. It's often too late to use that great comeback or response when you finally think of it. We've all had that feeling of wishing we had said or done something differently in the moment, but it's hard to come up with the perfect response right away."
