I don't like being told to "have a nice day" or "enjoy your weekend." I'll have a nice day or enjoy my weekend if that's what I want to do. I don't like being told what sort of a day or weekend that I should have. I'll make up my own mind as to what sort of a day I will have. I don't need someone to tell me.:waughh:

1481422 2021-10-21 02:33:00 It's a wish...hoping you have a nice day. The one I dislike is being told to smile.

I got caught out in the most embarrassing thing in my life she I said hello to a lady I used to see walking with her husband. She had a tall handsome young chap this particular time and me, being me, asked if she had traded the old man in on a younger one.

As you may have guessed, she said her husband had died 3 days ago and the young guy was her son from out of town here to bury his dad.

Geez, I wished the ground had opened up and swallowed me!

Ken :(

Holy Hell, have you seen her since, or are you still self isolating in the back room of your house? :eek:

Seriously? Would you not like to be asked if you are wished well and the wishes come from a genuine person who works for some crap outfit that pays them the minimum wage and has a family to support? ��

1481426 2021-10-21 07:55:00 My pet hate is (and it is NZ based) -"how is your day going /been?" or "How are you?" Especially if it is voiced by a stranger or a cold call sales person.
My thoughts are "none of your business-I would tell you voluntarily if I wanted you to know"
I find it so insincere. Most people just mumble good, good or some other silly trite expression. You could reply - "horrible I've had some really bad medical news " and the first person will say "that's good" because their question was meaningless and they are not really listening to what you say in reply.
I prefer to just say hello or hi-not even "good morning" because you may be unaware that the other person is having anything but a good morning.

I do realise that for many people these are just robotic sayings.
