      TeamLead: Alright, I think that wraps up this zoom. I’ll check in with each of you later.
      Co-worker 1: Thanks
      Co-worker 2: Bye
      Co-worker 3: See you all later
      Me (already working on something else): Love you; bye.

      That’s how I roll. I always say “bye, have fun” at the end of meetings or saying bye to someone at work. No matter the situation. Has been working fine until now .

        Yeah, “have fun” is just good life advice in general 🤷

      Also “love kids” must be higher pitched than “I”

    It’s all about the phrasing.

    Other things that suffer from this have been listed in memes.

    “Butt dial.” Vs. “Booty call”

    And

    “Forgive me father, for I have sinned.” Vs. “Sorry Daddy, I’ve been a bad girl.”

      Ginger is a root and ale is a beer, but ginger ale is not root beer.

    OTOH, “have a great 1440 minutes” sounds sort of like an uplifting Rent reference.

      Although you can make it menacing again if you just State the amount of time and give them a thumbs up.

      “1,440 minutes” 👍

      Don’t worry you still have ~23 hours left :)

      You don’t want to know what will happen when the timer runs out… (Hint: the rest of your life)

      He sort of looks like an off-brand ‘most interesting man in the world’

      (I stole this meme, so I’m not sure)

    “Have a nice day” isn’t something people actually say to reach other in my country, it sounds so incredibly fake (probably because whenever we hear it, it’s American employees repeating the line to their customers over and over, clearly not meaning it).

    “Have a nice day” doesn’t mean for the next 24 hours, unless you’re telling someone at midnight.

      Just look at your watch and give them the exact time until midnight. Problem solved and more menacing.

        “Enjoy your next…” checks time “…seven hours and twenty minutes!”
