Have a Good One!

More and more young people say this to me at the grocery store check-out line, restaurants, and stores. Have a good what??? A good day? Why not say, "Have a good day"? Does this bug anyone else. Or am I just getting old, lol?
Have a good day.
Have a good day.

It's common. Also when they ask " How is your day" I just tell them
"I woke up and saw the ceiling, so it's great"

These people are probably sizing you up by age when they say it. They are jut being polite and are telling you to have a good bowel movement.
Try dying your hair. That will fool them. Works for me.

Otherwise I say "Oh. thank you so much. I think I will". Then I go home and down a shot of Wild Turkey. :lol:
I asked an acquaintance I ran into at the supermarket, "How ya doin?" After about 20 minutes getting the story of her life from day one and just about passing out, I now just nod and say "Excuse me but I have to have a bowel movement, I'm having a good day. Hope you are too".

Or you could smile at the clerk and smile and think:
Do you know I'm peeing in my depends right now ?

As I've gotten older I've begun to answer the perennial question, "How are you today?" or "How ya doin'" by replying "Adequate." It often gets a laugh, a nod and a smile of agreement or amusement.
Another good response is "I'm vertical and ventilating, so its a GOOD day!"

My pet peeve is the ubiquitous response to a sincere "Thank You": "No Problem". To which I often respond:"I didn't think there was a problem here".

My response is "I'm alive. Beats the hell out of the alternative", which usually causes a double take.

"How are you?" is a greeting, not a question! Many don't realize that. :roll:
