re: Strangers that tell you to “Have a Blessed Day”

Other than just being dead-set determined to find new ways to be absolutely miserable and angry, why would someone be bothered by someone wishing them a blessed day?

Well, to me being Blessed means being Blessed by God.

And for some purple haired, nose ringed, elf ear wearing pinko with a T-shirt that reads Vote Blue.. I sort of view it as an insult to God. And they are just actually trying to make themselves look good as a person, when deep down in their heart they are just scum. Because they probably were posting Death to Trump voters on the internet the day before..

That's why.

Death to Trump voters, but have a nice day.

I feel the same as I would if someone said
Have a good day.
Have a great day.
Have a splendid day.

Or in a different situation if someone says thanks or thank you or says yes sir or no sir, or if someone holds a door open for me.

It’s called good manners and civil people living in a civil society used to do all these things as a course of habit. I don’t really feel anything when it happens because that should be the norm. However it does saddens me to see it happen less and less often.

“Blessed” has religious overtones

Them damned wiccans.

Good lord, how miserable do you have to be where this bothers you? I guess I’m an a-hole for smiling and saying hi on the elevator vs pulling out my phone and pretending to look at something to avoid human interaction.

If you like it keep going to Chick Fil A. If you don’t, stop going there.

I’m sorry someone was able to tell you “where you got your shoes” but that’s no reason to have negative feelings towards good hearted Christian folk who only want the best for you

Exactly.

I'm atheist, but it does not bother me at all when someone wishes me a blessed day.

I end almost every conversation I have with "have a great day."
