What's your best unconventional "blessing" like when people tell an actor "break a leg!" (sh.itjust.works)

In inpatient psychiatry I tell my coworkers "I hope your shift is mind-numbingly boring" or something similar (keyword being boring) because in my line of work, interesting (usually) = bad.

What're yours?

Instead of saying "bless you" when someone sneezes, I quite like the alternative: "shut the fuck up".

Ever since middle school, my "bless you" interaction has always been:

"Bless you."
Them: "Thank you."
"You're welcome."

And whenever I sneeze, it's "bless me, thank me, I'm welcome."

Thank you for attending my TEDtalk.

Wouldn't it still be "thank you"? Funny one though!

[–] Mesa@programming.dev 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

No, I mean I say the entire thing to myself. "Bless me, thank me, I'm welcome."

Middle school me started doing it and I've put in no effort to stop.

If I sneeze and somebody says "bless you", my response is "No, but thanks for the offer".
