" I hope you have a GREAT day". (no wimpy niceness, and no order to try and control that, that is out of our control...i.e. We have all had terrible days, regardless of some stranger's well intentioned order to "Have a Nice Day").

When someone tells me to have a nice day, I usually mutter under my breath "what if I don't want to?"
