I used to live in a house with a lot of drifters. There was a young woman (24 years old) that I roomed with who, when she would go out for the day and I would say, "Have a great day!" she would snarl back, "Don't tell me what to do!"

Like 5% ironic but 95% sincere. It was wild.

I Used to work contract security. when people were on their way out... I would say something like "have a nice day," or some other inane pleasantry.

"Oh, I'm coming back." kind of comments in reply... I'd put on my biggest shit eating grin and say, "well, in that case have a lousy one."

The perplexed look on their faces was always- always- priceless.
