Have a Bless Day or Find Jesus You Fag

I tell them: "It will be, once I go home and sacrifice some goats to Beelzebub."

Eh. It's a shit job, they deal with abusive voices in their ear all day.

And the ones who say Have A Blessed Day to you and you're gay and you're reading a lot into it, know that they say that to everyone. Atheists probably complain about it too.

There's a nasty bitch at the P.O. who always says, "Have a day-day" and I know she means 'gay day'.

What would be as annoying is their dropping the -ed ending in “blessed”.

Some of you guys are just looking for something to be insulted about.

Op you are in need of psychiatric intervention

R6 I know :(

I do find god stuff offensive. I never wish them to have a happy pride month. Why do they feel obliged to share their faith and associated prejudices.

And when someone I do not know wishes me Merry Xmas, I reply: Happy Holidays.

Be polite but firm. It is prostelytizing pure and simple. Keep it to yourself and I will too.

The proper and polite response is "And a Nanoo Nanoo be unto you". Split fingered handshake optional.

I take pleasantries like that at face value unless said in an obviously sarcastic tone. A fundie saying "have a blessed day" is no more offensive than someone from France saying "bon jour."

I used to say that to really angry customers when I had a customer service job. It was my way of saying "fuck you, I don't care if you're unhappy".

OP not once have I ever thought that, because the ones who say that, say it to everyone.

I just reply with a reply a pagan friend taught me, ‘blessed be’ . It always gets a curious look and I get a kick out of it

It's not about you, OP.

I think those people are more the fake-happy people who think a positive attitude conquers all.

Having said that, I do think there's a few times where "Have a blessed day" is sort of like "bless your heart" - e.g. something they can say nicely instead of saying fuck off!

R14 Try not to come at me that way. Learn respect.

[quote] Do you ever think that when female customer service reps tell you to have a “blessed day”…..

I’ve never had anyone working in any professional capacity say that to me.

I’d probably reply with “under His eye” or “blessed be the fruit.”

Only crazy people say this. I just say “thanks” and wait for the crazy to vacate the area.

Maybe it’s a southern thing.

R4 Yes, so much. It's incredibly annoying and I even see it in work emails.

But people who say have a bless-ED day say that to everyone, it's incredibly phony and annoying, and I like it, it tells me who to avoid. When people tell you who they are, listen to them.

No.

Respond with a Vulcan salute, saying, "Peace and Long Life."

[bold]OP, what kind of convo are you having with customer service reps that would let them know you're gay??[/bold]

A male clerk at my regular quicky-mart always says that to customers in person no matter who. Is he secretly calling everyone a fag?

[quote] Is he secretly calling everyone a fag?

Perhaps the clerk at the Quicky-Mart is Matt Damon?

An old lady said it to me on an elevator today.i think she was being sincere. It felt genuine. It kind of threw me at first but then I decided that I WOULD have a blessed day, and I have.

I say “God bless you” routinely and fail to see the offense.

I mean, what do you bitches do when someone bids you “adios” or “adieu”?

I react like a shaky, elderly Katharine Hepburn and exclaim “who dared you?”

r22, not "Live long and prosper"?

Call me, OP.

[quote] not "Live long and prosper"?

R30, “Peace and long life” is a response to "Live long and prosper".

I don't begrudge people wishing me, a stranger, something that in their world or perfect world or pretended world means something positively significant. Or polite.

And I don't quibble with people saying adieu because I am offended that they presume to invoke a deity to protect me.

Why?

Because I may be a mess but I'm not using an exaggerated complaint to shart racism all over myself.

[quote]R31 “Peace and long life” is a response to "Live long and prosper".

What’s the proper response to “Live long and prolapse”?

R33: That would be "Pucker up, Buttercup."

[quote]R29: not "Live long and prosper"?

No. 'Peace and Long Life' is an alternative salute.

Besides, I cannot honestly say that I wish them prosperity.
