We all have those days where we just don’t feel like being polite or cheerful. Whether it’s because of a bad mood, a rough day, or just general apathy, it can be hard to force a genuine “have a good day” out of ourselves.
But sometimes, we have to put on a brave face and offer a farewell to someone, even if we don’t mean it. That’s where sarcasm comes in.
Here are 25 sarcastic ways to say “have a good day” without actually meaning it.
