There is a sweet older lady that works in my office that TGIFs me every Friday morning without fail, regardless how awkward or if my door is mostly shut. Although annoyed, I would prefer not to be rude to this lady. What are the variations of acceptable responses to express my level of Friday-ness?

TGIF! = not my style; doesn't feel right.

Happy Friday = ok, but inviting of future TGIFs

[chuckle] = you said your piece, now lets move on (my most common response that has yet to curtail the endless stream of TGIFs)

I'm running out of response ideas. What would not be rude but also not invite future TGIFs? Any ideas are appreciated.

Proper response to something lame like that:



That'll definitely stop "TGIF."

People do it all the time at my office. Just say something generic like "Amen to that," and smile. It's really not that hard to just humor them.

Short and simple, yet still acknowledges her.

If you cannot deal with the brief "awkward" interaction every Friday just respond with...If your life didn't suck, it wouldn't matter what day it is.

Due to the nature of the work, if I am being productive, I am deeply concentrating. This lady must have a sensor alerting her when I am in the deepest level humanly possible, at which point she runs to my door, knocks and says "TGIF!" This is typically coupled with a thumbs up for some reason. So yes, it is harder than it should be to humor them in the same instant I am filled with rage due to the interruption.
