Do you smack them with “I make my own luck.” Or “I’m gonna need it!”
Or just a polite “thanks! You too!”

I know context is important here but I struggle a lot with “good luck!”

Just doesn’t sit well with me.

I've never been shot out of a cannon when someone tells me good luck

Luck is part of life. It is part of every success and, to a degree, many failures.

I'm not saying you have to like it. I'm saying it is.

I have no idea because, in my over 50 years on this planet, I’ve never been in a situation where it became necessary that I be fired out of a cannon.

I may be simplifying this too much, but I'd probably be asking, "Why the hell am I in a fricking cannon?!?!".

If it wasn't for bad luck I wouldn't have any.

How about you provide an update on your brother instead of this corny shite?

He’s thriving down in Fort Lauderdale loving life and fornicating with many women. Fully recovered. Hope that helps you out.

I'm with you. I fricking hate when people offer me encouragement or hope for the best for me.

What a dumb thing to worry about.

Good luck with that.
