Title: Have a great rest of your day!
Post by: Perd Hapley on April 15, 2009, 10:00:41 AM
Don't you hate that?  My apologies to anyone who says that on a regular basis, but you really should stop.  It sounds dumb.   =(

Just go with "Have a great day."  Means the same thing; doesn't sound stupid. 

Have a great day on APS.   =)

Approved.

Blue star,

My favorite local talk show guy says it at the end of each show.  Need to write him a nasty letter...

I'm ok with it if they've been dealing with a problem or complaint from you. It suggests contrast- "I know you've had a problem, but I hope you enjoy the rest of your day."

It depends, are you really thinking, "Go eff yourself!" while you're saying, "Have a great rest of your day"? My Grandma taught me it was ok to do that, long as you don't get you're saying and you're thinking all mixed up. That could pose a problem.  :O

If someone said that to me...

I'd ask 'em, "Is that a threat?"

Sounds an awful lot like a freakin' threat to me.

If it's early morning - "Have a good day."

Late morning - early afternoon - "Have a good afternoon."

Late afternoon - "Have a good evening."

Later than that - "Good night."

It's that simple.

Or you could just say, "keep on truckin'."

OK. I just have to jump in here.

That "Have a good day" business frequently has me biting my lip before I come back with, "Don't tell me what kind of a day to have!"

 =D Of course, I would be joking but there are far too many out there who have no sense of humor and I would be guaranteed to try that line with one of them.

Please don't.  The 70's are done.

I usually go with "have a good'n" or "have a better day" for those who have been screwed by life.

People used to tell me "Have a Good One!"

My usual response to them was, "I already have a good one, I'm looking for a longer one..."  =D

My personal favorite is: "Don't work too hard."  Normal people look at me weird when I say that, and usually give me a "Haha, whatever." type of response.  Physicists, without exception in my experience, always say "Don't worry I won't."  Makes me laugh.   :lol:
