What’s your go-to phrase for sounding polite but still being a little sarcastic?

Mine is: ‘Thank you for your request. You know how much we value your opinion. We’ll give it the consideration it deserves.’

I would suggest… I hear what you say. I‘m keeping track of my appointments in the digital calendar.

I'll deal with it momentarily. Whether that means soon, or briefly, I leave up to their imagination.

“Bless your heart” in the US south can be a back-handed compliment with nuanced meanings.

Or "You haven't really thought this through at all, have you." Honestly "what problem are we trying to solve" is a great re-direct, especially if they didn't start there.

“Duly noted”. I’ve only used it a handful of times but that’s my professional way of saying “fuck you”, as I’ve only ever used it towards clients being extremely condescending and rude towards me.

I use the word ‘ambitious’ to mean that the suggestion or idea is completely unrealistic and not reasonably practicable

I’m a software developer and something I say at least 3 times a week is “what problem are we/you trying to solve?” It often means “I don’t think you asked the right questions” or “I think you may be doing the wrong thing already”

Manager at a hotel: "How about we try (blank)instead" meaning "what you are doing is absolutely wrong, stop doing it we're doing it this way"
