I prefer "have a week" because that's the minimum amount of time I want away from them.

[-] ShareMySims@sh.itjust.works 6 points 2 months ago

I'm going to have to keep this one in mind..

[-] 1024_Kibibytes@lemm.ee 8 points 2 months ago

Well, the opposite is them wishing for your death I guess. So at least it's hoping your still alive tomorrow.

In German you can use “Guten Tag” as greeting when you see meet someone. When writing mail, you can also use it as greeting even if it is not that common, to use “Guten Tag” in written conversations.

BUT: When you use “Guten Tag” at the END it’s like a “Fuck off!” (regardless of written or in verbal communication) without being an insult.

"Hochachtungsvoll"

[-] SoGrumpy@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

As in: Good day, Sir!

[-] someguy3@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

End it "Retards" and if anyone says anything you can claim it's a typo.

Pest wishes.

[-] CaptSneeze@lemmy.world 16 points 2 months ago

I feel seen! If you get “regards” instead of “best regards” you should know you’re on my shit list.

[-] modus@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago

Tepid regards.

[-] NocturnalEngineer@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

That's my secret, I always sign off my emails as "Regards".

[-] monkeyslikebananas2@lemmy.world 6 points 2 months ago

Until you accidentally send an angry email with “Retards” 😳

[-] perishthethought@lemm.ee 3 points 2 months ago

I once began an email with, "Hell Alice," (on accident).

[-] MrMobius@sh.itjust.works 8 points 2 months ago

I'd do the the opposite. I generally use the default "cordially". But if someone pissed me off I'd use something overly formal and polite like "amicably thanking you for your eventual reply over the matter; if it pleases you"

A great passive-aggressive way of saying “As I already told you, you dumb pile of bull feces” is “As mentioned in my last mail, …”

[-] shneancy@lemmy.world 3 points 2 months ago

istg i have to write those words into every reply i give. Do people even read the words i write? Can they read? Should i give up?

Signs off with "Worst" instead of "Best"

[-] Sanctus@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

I always say Thank You, and give a good amount if snark back in my emails for dumb shit.

'Hey, our guys aren't getting their paperwork until a day or two after we send them." - manager at my work

"Did you check to make sure the schedules were being sent in a timely manner?" - vendor support

"Thats what she's saying right there, a day or two after is not timely" - me

Silence.

[-] HeyThisIsntTheYMCA@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

Sucks to your regards

[-] troglodytis@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

As per my email dated....

I end all my work emails with "Thanks* and let the inflection be my own

[-] wuphysics87@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 months ago

You know you are fucked with kindest regards

[-] Raiderkev@lemmy.world 1 points 2 months ago

The only time I use regards in a work email is me taking a subtle dig and dropping a WSB reference.

I appreciate you reaching out. If you would please refer to my previous email where I wrote out step by step instructions.it should answer all your questions. If you need further clarification, please feel free to reach out.

Regards,

Raiderkev
