So do people who realize not everything requires a response.
Sometimes when someone is rude to me or argumentative with me, I look at them like, “did you really just say that?” And then I leave them there questioning their life choices or maybe finding someone else to bother.

Good take. Some things are not even worth engaging with and my life has been much calmer since that realization.
Going back to the shower thought, turning off your hearing aids during an argument is like a live version of putting someone on mute.
A friend of mine would say (in a passive way) “so are you done yet?”
That is more actively condescending, passive aggressive. Very different from just no response.
I’d say giving a look is probably in the middle, depending on the nuances.
