It just makes sense to say, "I wish you a happy day" or "I hope your day gets even better." Why do perky people insist on insisting that you have a nice day?
I recently had to go to a "doc in the box" clinic with a genuine case of the crawling crud. It was a cold rainy day and I was trying to get inside before I died on the parking lot. A man came down the sidewalk and said, "top of the morning to you and you have a great day." Did he think I was at an emergency medical facility to attend a party? Really. I was coughing and sneezing and had on a heavy coat to try to stay warm.
I had a tooth extracted. They actually covered my eyes so I couldn't see. It felt like the surgeon had both his feet in my mouth so he could get leverage with his hammer and chisel. He hammered and tugged for about half an hour. Finally, with my jaw puffed up and my whole mouth numb, I got back to the reception area. One of the reception ladies in a high pitched voice chirped, "have a nice day." I ask you, what are my chances of having a nice day? Made me want to spit. You can’t spit with a numb mouth.
I tried.
