Dumb Things We Say But We Like the Magic

Take care

On saying this, what do we expect the individual to do differently from what that individual would have done anyway.


Have a great Monday

Well, thanks, but I was planning on having one anyway but thanks for telling me you think I had been planning for one which sucks.


Have a nice day

No-one knows who came up with this and the person probably got murdered but, man, it's not that bad.  It's like have a nice Monday but the Monday version is so specifically pessimistic it implies you plan your misery.  Have a nice day?  Yah, well, why not.


Good morning!

Of course it is.  I didn't die in my sleep and neither did you.  Based on this observation, the morning is already good.


Guten morgen!

This is being silly but with language affectation into the bargain.


How are you?

We often ask this one but we don't want an answer.  The biggest problem with asking is sometimes people will tell you.  We just want to say we hope you have been ok but it's a really dumb way to say that and it sounds like we might be interested in how your gall bladder is doing.  We aren't.  We just want it to be working properly doing whatever it does.


By the way, did I ever tell you about my gall bladder?

(Ed:  YES)
