Does have a nice day really mean anything?

hi suzzy3 well it sure did not make me feel very good knowing we were overdrawn then told oh have a nice day, grr and I went home and told my husband if he did not start putting down withdrawals in our bank book I was going to bop him one. grrrr.

How embarrassing as long as you can account for whats been spent then it is not so bad.

I made hubby track down what he had taken out and put it in the bank book so we could balance it, and we were not charged for that small an overdraft so that was a good thing.

hi rosepedal I also use that in the way it should be
used, to really mean I hope you do have a nice
'day. but some use it without even thinking specially
if they have something unpleasant to say to you.

I know hatley..I know it really gets on my nerves when they say that and you know that they really don't mean it. Hey maybe that will be what I will say the next time. You really don't mean that...I wonder what kind of response that would get...

oh my wo uldnt that be a hoot if one said that and they would probably gulp.

hi thea oh yes its very much an Americanism and so overused
it is pathetic. Now it would be nice for someone in a shop
here to say goodbye, then give a we thank you, that would be'
so meaningful.I am sure whoever started this have a nice day
probably meant that they really hoped your day would go well
but like so many think we used it till it became meaningless'
just like saying oh I love cheese or broccolli well I really think they meant they really like it. to me love has other meanings.

hi again was just thinking of another misused one How are you? well one day my hubby was asked by a rather snoopy old woman neighbor of ours, how are you? She wished she had never asked him, after he said,oh well now, Ihave a cold and a headache, I have just been to my doctor,I may have a cancer, but maybe not, also my back is killing me, and my lungs hurt from coughing,uh where are you going?" by then the old lady understood he was feeding her a bunch of garbage and took off quicker than I had
ever seen her walk.he he he

I thought the whole practice of have a nice day speak origintated with those awful fast food chains to make the surly employees inject a bit of customer service skills over the grease. Lots of these gloabal companies insist on all of the staff reciting the same verbatim lines upon answering the telephone which one has to speed them up with. They don't want to say it anymore than we want to hear it but their calls are being taped. Of course most of that has now been replaced with an uninterpuptable automated system. Not here yet thankfully.

oh thea you just made me think of those stupid messages please wait we appreciate your business, we will be with you as soon as possible, please wait blah blah blah. I always want to yell if you appreciate me so much then answer my damned phone now. of course it probably is an automated voice so my effort would just
be wasted

Totally with you there HAtley

yes they just really make me way to reach through the
phone and grab them he he he he

hi dragon54u oh yes it just becomes sounds after awhile
as we know the person who is already taking care of someone'else did not give a damn how our day went. now I love you is
headed the same way. and that is so sad, as the ones we should
really say it to we seldom say it enough .there it would
mean something. And how are you said to me by a complete'
stranger who is trying to sell me a vacumn cleaner means
nothing at all.just useless space filler.

hi littleowl you know when my hubby and I thought about it
we did laugh as it was so unexpected and so funny in a
way. and boy did I chew out my hubby. he always would wait
til he got home to write down any withdrawals he made. the
result was he forgot most of them.

Am glad that you both saw the funny sude if it, the way you wrote it made me laugh lol...hugs Lolo

my son and I also had a laugh over her wishing you to have a good day after she had just told us to move out.

hi kitty yes they are taught to always say that no matter what and in a way it was kind of funny,not at that moment but a
bit later. When my friends say that to me they usually sort of move it around and say something like, hope the rest of your day is a lot better or words to that effect, then I know they really do mean it. kitty I think you always look for the best in people too, and that is really neat. hugs.

Hello my friend

Unfortunately this is true, which is not always a good thing but I love to make people feel good, by saying nice things to them

Thank you my friend.

oh kitty I think its a very good thing,we need
more people like you. we all need to feel good.

Hello my friend

Coming from you that feels nice my friend, you are special as well

Guess what happened to me the other day, I thought about you so I had to share, I was getting of the train and there are so many stairs so I decided to take the elevator to the street, well this woman just jumped in front of me and my grandson just because she was older I guess, another person was upset I did not say anything I just looked at her and shock my head, just to see her face you can tell she had no bad feeling she thought it was her right, in cases like this, older people work my last nerve, they have no respect for anyone yet want respect from others,put me in the mind of your bus riding incident.some people are rude no matter what age.

Thank you my friend.

oh kitty yes some older people can be extremely rude, age doesnt seem to enter into it, I think its how they were raised maybe.I know some people here will get in one of the two elevators, and
instead ofholding it for you will just let the door shut in your face and they are some of the oldest here. we are told to be
'kind to one another but some people just do not get it. I always hold the door for anyone who wants to go up or down with me, why not there are only two for the whole building so we ought to share for heaven's sakes.

Hello my friend

The elevators to go to the street are really small the woman was a nice size, she made sure she had a spot, heck with me and my grandson, some people make you want to say things that are unpleasant I wanted too, lol but decided against it, not worth it we had enough room, one day when she really need assistance she will not get the help she needs, I just wish she remembers how she treats others.

Thank you.

hi kitty yes you meet people like that and you
want to bop them for the way they behave,but
of course we don't but like my friend Nelda said'last
night when we were chatting, what goes around will
come around. some day those unkind people will get
their comeuppance as my mom used to say.

hi valentinesdiner my best friend Nelda always say
take care and enjoy your computer, she gets a kick
out of my addiction to mylotting.

hi tamara he was too shocked I think.when we got ready to move out and he was paying her the last of our rent,she would go inside her apt.lock her door, count the money then unlock her door come back out, and give him the change. He told her that she had overcharged us, so she goes back into the apt.locks her door, adds it up on a calculator, then unlocks her door, comes out,locks it behind her, and says, you were right, here is the
rest of your change. Then Robbie said,have a good day she slammed the door in his face as he laughed at her. wow she was so paranoid.her husband had just divorced her and then I could see why, he was a really nice man too.

oh fwidman my hubby used to get those people,he would say'you
really want to know,I had this and that, and he would go on and name a half dozen different illnesses and the person would back away and say, oh I have to go, and wow would they get the heck out of there. then he and I would laugh ourselves silly.

hi opal yes I sure do agree and to say that to a person
whom you have just told to move out,ugh. but she was
really a piece of work, as my friend George here would
say. we found out that the lady who caused our landlady
to ask us to move, was in cahoots with the landlady.they
both had a friend they wanted to put into our apartment
'so we were in the way.oh well alls well that ends well.
