It’s been a thing for a very long time, like even back in the 90s I remember it.

The difference was it was mostly between people who were both working. At least blue collar, and usually people who had a blurry line on when they were done with work on any given day for various reasons like having a very small business or side hustle

Like, there was an understood “work” in front of the “day”. Basically “I hope you get through this without much extra bullshit”.

That’s still how I hear it, but probably not how most mean it.

I didn’t really notice it spreading, but pandemic and zoom may have made it more common as people worked where they lived and needed to delinerate free time from work time.

Sometime after sunrise.

I had to make the switch to saying that because I work nights and I got tired of switching between “have a good morning” and “have a good night” lol

I have been saying that for about 40 years, can’t be the only one.

I don’t know, but I wish people would stop telling me what to do.

Never heard anyone say that.

that sounds clunky. Have a good one, have a good day, and enjoy the rest of your day all sound normal to me. Don’t think I have heard “have a good rest of your day” but it sounds like a smashing together of “have a good day” and “enjoy the rest of your day”

I say it because I talk to people all over the world.

Usually after 4 PM.

Nothing I wish for you is going to affect anything that’s already happened in your day

Are “enjoy the rest of your day” and “have a good rest of your day” different enough that one sounds odd but not the other?

I’ve been using that phrase with people I’m talking to in a different time zone for years.

I’m almost 60 and I have heard that from as long as I can remember. “Have a good one” though…I first heard that in the early 2000’s and it sounded stupid then. And it sounds stupid now.

I think it’s an influencer thing. It really irks me. Also, the phrase, “Your guys’es”, as in, “Let me know what your guys’es experience is in the comments” .
