When did people start saying "have a good rest of your day"

  Never heard anyone say that.

    Yeah I was thinking this too. Sounds worse than the normal phrase.

• AbouBenAdhem@lemmy.world ⁨14⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Sometime after sunrise.

  Dunno but I tend to respond “You too if you can!”

  “Have a good day” sounds too cliche to me., at least when I’m at work. It’s like saying “we apologize for the inconvenience” where it feels like an insincere, canned phrase.

  It’s been a thing for a very long time, like even back in the 90s I remember it.

  The difference was it was mostly between people who were both working. At least blue collar, and usually people who had a blurry line on when they were done with work on any given day for various reasons like having a very small business or side hustle

  Like, there was an understood “work” in front of the “day”. Basically “I hope you get through this without much extra bullshit”.

  That’s still how I hear it, but probably not how most mean it.

  I didn’t really notice it spreading, but pandemic and zoom may have made it more common as people worked where they lived and needed to delinerate free time from work time.

    Yeah it’s something you don’t hear outside of work. I felt like it implies more of: when work is over, enjoy what’s left of the day.

    • MelonYellow@lemmy.ca ⁨2⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Yes exactly. It means I’m acknowledging that work sucks, but I hope you enjoy the rest of your day (now that it’s over).

  I have been saying that for about 40 years, can’t be the only one.

• justsquigglez@leminal.space ⁨10⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I had to make the switch to saying that because I work nights and I got tired of switching between “have a good morning” and “have a good night” lol

  I thought ppl said it when they didn’t know what time zone the person they were speaking with was in, or they were speaking with multiple people in multiple time zones.

  I’m almost 60 and I have heard that from as long as I can remember. “Have a good one” though…I first heard that in the early 2000’s and it sounded stupid then. And it sounds stupid now.

  • SnotFlickerman@lemmy.blahaj.zone ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Have a good none, Bob

    Context clues elude

• ZoDoneRightNow@kbin.earth ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  that sounds clunky. Have a good one, have a good day, and enjoy the rest of your day all sound normal to me. Don't think I have heard "have a good rest of your day" but it sounds like a smashing together of "have a good day" and "enjoy the rest of your day"

• Kolanaki@pawb.social ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I don’t know, but I wish people would stop telling me what to do.

  source

  • blimthepixie@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨7⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    They’re not telling you what to do though

    “It’s (hope you) have a good day/rest of day/night etc”

    source
  • meco03211@lemmy.world ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    Don’t tell me what to do! I tell anyone I want to have a nice rest of their day.

    source
• Rozz@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨9⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I say it because I talk to people all over the world.

  source
• adespoton@lemmy.ca ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I’ve been using that phrase with people I’m talking to in a different time zone for years.

  source
• SatyrSack@quokk.au ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Are “enjoy the rest of your day” and “have a good rest of your day” different enough that one sounds odd but not the other?

  source

  • j_elgato@leminal.space ⁨11⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    It doeth sound a little off, even though it’s very minor.

    Yes

  This is the first I’m hearing it, and I feel like I’ll always be just a little bit sadder now that I know its a thing.

• StrawberryPigtails@lemmy.sdf.org ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I think I first noticed that phrase about 10 years ago. Not sure where it came from.

  source
• FlashMobOfOne@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  No idea.

  I’ve been saying it for a few years. I just think it sounds nice.

  source
• Chozo@fedia.io ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  Usually after 4 PM.

• littlelordfauntleroy@lemmy.zip ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

  I think it’s an influencer thing. It really irks me. Also, the phrase, “Your guys’es”, as in, “Let me know what your guys’es experience is in the comments” .

  • Rhynoplaz@lemmy.world ⁨13⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

    You guyses has been around forever in areas that don’t use yinz or y’all.

    • kelpie_returns@lemmy.world ⁨12⁩ ⁨hours⁩ ago

      Sorry…“yinz”? Where is that a thing? Never once heard it used in my life

    Yeah. If you’re gonna try to pull that shit, at least say ‘yalls’es’. Like ‘let me know whatch y’alls experience is’

  “Morning”

  “Have a day”

  “Night”
