and it didn't bother me at all, because when she said it, she meant "thank you",
and I think it was the nicest way she could think of to say it.

I don't like it when someone leaves a message on the phone that ends with
"have a blessed day", especially when they don't know me.

If it is said to everyone, as in a check-out line, I don't like it either.

But I have to admit, I AM selective as to when it bothers me.

It's along the lines of my answer if someone tries to talk religion (in the "save me" sort of way): "I think religious belief is such a personal topic, don't you?"

Most take the hint from that, once in a while that is not quite enough but that is rare.

Although I still run into too many of those "rare" ones. Maybe not so rare in this part of the country. But I am going to use this one next time, and the next time, and the next time....
