I must confess that I do that too..

I have never said that and never will.

Interesting. I mean it when I say it.

I will never voluntarily high five anyone.

I deal with a lot of clients so, eventually, because everybody wishes you a "nice day" you feel that you "have to" do the same to be polite.. I thinks it's a bit like saying sorry/please and thank you all the time in England.. you don't say it because you mean it, it's just how the language is.. When I go back to Spain I'm a big source of amusement for saying please and thank you so much, wait till they hear me say "have a nice day" ..

Or "Comeback and see us now" translated means "give us more of your money"

Being an IT professional or a captive spouse is their plight, from what I've been able to determine. Although it remains a mysterious dichotomy between thought and action.

I have noticed the "please" and "thank you" thing. Sometimes, back in the UK, I said it because I really meant it but often it was a routine, courtesy, social nicety thingy..a bit like "have a nice day" here.

I don't say " have a nice day" much because I feel like a klutz when I do, so I tend to respond with "same to you".
Equally I have had funny looks here when I have used the full "UK" quota of please and thankyous.
I was also used to saying "bye" after the final "thank you" and that isn't done as much here.
Horses for courses.
