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@lemmy.world 7 points 2 years 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 .

[–] VikingHippie@lemmy.wtf 2 points 2 years ago

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

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

[–] Agent_of_Kayos@lemm.ee 0 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Five hundred twenty-five thousand six hundred minutes?

[–] Bene7rddso@feddit.de 1 points 2 years ago

6.0833333333333 days?

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.

[–] Bizarroland@kbin.social 10 points 2 years 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?

[–] anhkagi@jlai.lu 11 points 2 years ago (2 children)

Great, now I'm not enjoying it.

[–] button_masher@lemmy.ml 14 points 2 years 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)

Well you probably should be

[–] Deestan@beehaw.org 6 points 2 years ago

My hilarious doctor, prescribing me medicine that I will take the rest or my life:

"Take one of these every evening for the next 40 years"

[–] vierbl00m@feddit.de 5 points 2 years ago (2 children)

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

[–] swag_money@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

kinda looks like jorpan pee peeter pants

[–] The_Picard_Maneuver@startrek.website 1 points 2 years ago* (last edited 2 years ago)

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

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

[–] obinice@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

"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).

[–] greendakota99@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago

“Enjoy your remaining years!”

“Enjoy fucking Jules!”

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] constantturtleaction@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

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

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 6 points 2 years ago

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

[–] Leviathan@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago

Man, Tommy Chong really matured elegantly.

[–] adj16@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago

Why is it a different guy in the meme?
