Thinking of something to say after? - 96% Normal

Is it normal to think of something to say after the moment has passed? Sometimes when I'm in an argument I'll think of a good response to something someone said, but it won't happen until a few minutes after the argument ended. I've had these post-argument thoughts all my life.
Do you think it's normal?

If this didn't happen to a lot of people, arguments might never end.
Yes, lots of people frequently think of a come back just too late for it to be useful.

Sometimes I go right overboard, and retrace a conversation I've had where someone ticked me off ever so slightly, often a stranger or someone I don't know very well, and I imagine if it had gone much worse about the argument that would have followed.

I wouldn't worry about it too much, I just put it down to an overactive imagination.
THIS HAPPENS TO ME ALL THE TIME TOO! Isn't it so frustrating?

okay......... of course its normal!
Dear Lord. Every day of my life.
An entire episode of 'Seinfeld' was dedicated to this, involving George traveling across the country just to deliver a good comeback. (But what hasn't that show touched on?)

Completely normal. Track down the book 'The Art of Verbal Self-Defense', it might help.
Always. Happens ALWAYS.
