Coworker: I'm leaving early for a funeral.

Me:(Not listening) Have fun!

TeamLead: Alright, I think that wraps up this zoom. I'll check in with each of you later.
Co-worker 1: Thanks
Co-worker 2: Bye
Co-worker 3: See you all later
Me (already working on something else): Love you; bye.

Should be a norm, IMHO :)

[–] devfuuu 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

That's how I roll. I always say "bye, have fun" at the end of meetings or saying bye to someone at work. No matter the situation. Has been working fine until now .

[–] [email protected] 2 points 10 months ago

Yeah, "have fun" is just good life advice in general 🤷

"I hope you treasure the coming eighty-six thousand and four hundred seconds."

[–] [email protected] 0 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes?

It's all about the phrasing.

Other things that suffer from this have been listed in memes.

"Butt dial." Vs. "Booty call"

And

"Forgive me father, for I have sinned." Vs. "Sorry Daddy, I've been a bad girl."

Ginger is a root and ale is a beer, but ginger ale is not root beer.

OTOH, "have a great 1440 minutes" sounds sort of like an uplifting Rent reference.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 10 months ago

Although you can make it menacing again if you just State the amount of time and give them a thumbs up.

"1,440 minutes" 👍

Dennis, are we going to hurt these girls?

[–] [email protected] 12 points 10 months ago (2 children)

Great, now I'm not enjoying it.

[–] [email protected] 14 points 10 months ago

Don't worry you still have ~23 hours left :)

You don't want to know what will happen when the timer runs out... (Hint: the rest of your life)

[–] [email protected] 4 points 10 months ago

Well you probably should be

Funny but what is it with that background picture? A guy who is supposed to look threatening? makes it weird lol

[–] [email protected] 1 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

He sort of looks like an off-brand 'most interesting man in the world'

(I stole this meme, so I'm not sure)

[–] swag_money 1 points 10 months ago

kinda looks like jorpan pee peeter pants

[–] greendakota99 4 points 10 months ago

“Enjoy your remaining years!”

“Enjoy fucking Jules!”

"Have a nice day" isn't something people actually say to reach other in my country, it sounds so incredibly fake (probably because whenever we hear it, it's American employees repeating the line to their customers over and over, clearly not meaning it).

Mick Foley enters the chat.

[–] Leviathan 3 points 10 months ago

Man, Tommy Chong really matured elegantly.

[–] samus12345 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

"Have a nice day" doesn't mean for the next 24 hours, unless you're telling someone at midnight.

[–] constantturtleaction 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Just look at your watch and give them the exact time until midnight. Problem solved and more menacing.

[–] samus12345 6 points 10 months ago

"Enjoy your next..." checks time "...seven hours and twenty minutes!"

[–] adj16 2 points 10 months ago

Why is it a different guy in the meme?
