Is it me? But when people say "Have a nice day" what I really think they are saying is...

"Fuck off and die"

:-(

...if they've been nice (simply decent human beings is enough), I'll end
the call with "Have a nice day/weekend/evening", but say it with feeling
enough that when I hear myself saying it... it reminds ME that I truly
mean it -- and the responses (sometimes surprised) often seem equally as
sincere.
.
I know that's unusual -- that "Have a nice day" is usually as automatic
and insincere as a "Bless you" after a sneeze -- but it's really nice
when it happens.

Now maybe you understand why I ALMOST chose the username of "MiddleFingerPollyFuckingAnnaMom".

If people have a nice day, it makes the world a happier place overall.

It's actually wishing someone well, IMHO

"Smell you later" ?

:D

"I'd like to end this meaningless interaction on a superficially pleasant note, so I can forget about you and go about my own nice day." Happens at cash registers in stores or in businesses all the time.

:)

It's less stressful to be pleasant than to be unpleasant, even if it's totally superficial.

something altogether different.

:P

leaving a 10# butternut squash in your refrigerator for 4 months was too much effort.

that's the Southern way of sending you off to pound sand

say 'have a nice day'. I'm not complicated in other words.

and they're like "I'm good! How are you?" I'm like, are you really good? You say that every freakin' day.

Los Angeles: Two guys in floral shirts passing each other on the street. One says "Have a nice day!" and is thinking "Fuck you". New York? Just the opposite :7

I like that :rofl:

I had a guest say this to me several years ago. So, this is what I say to people now.

that they'll never see you again. Not cool if someone tells you that after you've spent the night with them.

Unless someone is just being absolutely execrable on the phone (or in person), I'll say it because I think it's just a nice thing to say.

The first time I went to Minneapolis, a hotdog vendor asked me "do you need some napkins?" and I asked the guy I was with "He asked me if I wanted napkins - what was he up to?"
Couldn't understand why someone would be decent without any provocation. And yes, I grew up in the Philly area.

Having said that, I just posted something on a industry thread on LinkedIn, replying to other moderators who were complaining that respondents in Philadelphia are "difficult" and "unresponsive" suggested maybe they shouldn't start interviews with Philadelphians by saying "how 'bout them Mets?"

So I guess I'm saying that <b>I</b> can complain about us, but don't want to hear from anyone outside the Delaware Valley.
